If you do me a good deal on the Piggy Back Springs and those Rally Tires I may take them 😎

Thanks both @Gaz!and @Kpowell911 Now I know that I need a 3.2mm bore pinion I should be fine, they are cheap enough, thanks again 🙏

Regarding the Pinions the pictures shown are of the 14t 32P I purchased against the existing pinion removed from the 3351R motor. Clearly the inside diameter of the two are way out!! The simple issue is finding the right size pinion to suit the 3351R Motors shaft 😐 What am I missing here??

Damn that looks sweet!!

I had a good read of your thread earlier and got most of the good ideas from it 😂, I couldn't see any mention of the pinion though. And yes from a 2wd rustler it was. I just need to get a good setup on the spur and pinion so would prefer upgraded parts as opposed to stock.. Any suggestions or Links? I will upgrade the servo at a later date 👍

Hi All, So cracking on with my new project kindly supplied by @Gaz! for a fee of course 😁 I am looking at the following upgrades to begin with. Motor and ESC: Traxxas Velineon VXL-3S and 3351R Motor (taken from a Rustler) Traxxas Chassis Brace Kit (Blue) Traxxas Shocks GTR front and rear Arrma Dboots Hoons (White) New Shell designed and painted as a Ken Block Tribute shell My issue and question at the moment is the Pinion and Spur, @Gaz! can you remember if the spur is standard or have you upgraded in the past? The pinion i have at the moment is a 25t pulled from the Rustler so therefore to big really, the stock standard pinion is usually 13t so if I want to upgrade the spur to a Robinson Racing Gen3 Slipper Kit for a slash 4X4 (54T) what would be the recommended pinion size for the Robinson Spur?? I am going to place a large parts order tonight from Wheelspin so ideally need to know this before I do so. The Rally will mainly be ran on road so I am aiming for more top end speed. The Velineon setup is also very close together although it will just fit with a few mm spare between the ESC and Motor 🤨 I also noticed on a previous build by @Kpowell911 the servo was upgraded to a 9IMOD RC Brushless Servo, was this upgrade worthwhile? Or is standard stock ok? I have many more upgrades I want to do but for now I will do the ones above before boring you all with the list I want to fit. Cheers Chris 👍

Yes mate its the slash basically, i will give that a try and see what I get 👍

will these fit the Traxxas Rally 1/10? https://www.applianceelectronics.co.uk/viewproduct/31727/110-powerstroke-shocks-front-rear-2-traxxas-maxx

Hi All, Previously I only used Modelsport for spares but is there another well trust place then everyone here would swear by? Mainly for Traxxas spares and tune ups for the 4X4 Traxxas Rally/Slash... Cheers

Hi All, I am looking for a new Project and have my mind set on a Traxxas Rally, can be a roller so I can put my own stamp on it. The slash converts to a Rally so would take a slash chassis/Roller also. PM me please

I thought this was for the full kit? £150 for the shell? Good Luck...

Yes I was watching that one too, the white one? The others are XL-5 Motors I think (The Snap On ones) although not hard to convert to brushless... Actually I could just convert a 4X4 Slash right??

😆 can it convert to a Rally Car, I am in if so,,,,

As per the title, would prefer the Traxxas Rally if possible, please DM me if you have one spare/not in use... Thanks..

did you sell this?

Would you take £300 Cash collected in person tomorrow? Leaves me some spare change to buy a battery for it then..

BUMP - Price now reduced to £250.00 + Postage fee's........for everything.....

Hi All, I am looking to sell my FTX Zorro plus all items pictured as a job lot: Been used maybe 4 or 5 times, therefore the car itself shows signs of usage IE Scratches and marks but works fine apart from the servo has a mind of its own, i changed the arm from plastic to metal but still after a short while the steering goes out of trim again, other than that it runs mint and is extremely fast on 3s. The shell is maybe 6/10 slight split on the rear left light but doesn't effect anything and could do with a good clean same with the chassis, I have cleaned since my last run so would scrub up better than the pictures. The ESC is designed for 1/8th scale and there accepts the power of 3s no problem. 1 X RTR FTX 1/10 Zorro - Used Condition but good 1 X Receiver/Controller 1 X Lipo Sack 1 X Etronix Power Pal 3.0 Charger Brand new Never used 1 X Etronix Power Pal EZ-4 Charger 1 X Etronix Power Pal Pocket Charger - Never Used 3 X Voltz 11.1 50C 3s Lipo Batteries 1 X Voltz 7.2 20C 2s Lipo Battery 1 X Centro Magnetic Screw Holder 1 X Fastrax Screwdriver Set 1 X Capacity Controller Battery Checker 1 X Anything else pictured All above bought brand new less than 12 months ago for £547.00 as a full package. This was bought in summer last year and like I said above has been ran around 4 to 5 times only, since then its been sat around doing nothing since maybe October last year so it needs a good home. SELLING HERE FOR: £375.00 plus postage.... I will give it 2 days before I EBAY it....Any questions just ask.....

Hi All, Just picked up a little 1/12 FTX Comet Buggy as a starter for my 6 year old for X-Mas.. It comes with the following battery https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-comet-li-ion-1000mah-battery-433950 Can anyone recommend a better battery which will suit? I would assume a 7.4v instead of the stock 6.4v will give it a little extra punch and maybe 2000mAh instead of 1000? If anyone could let me know sooner rather than later so they can be boxed up ready for Christmas 😊

Great I shall order a few bits from them then 👍

The Zorro is rapid on 3's, straight line speed on 3's matched my brothers Xmaxx like for like no joke! And traction and stability is spot on.. Apart from the minor issues i mentioned above its a bargain SC for £230.00... I will however be upgrading the servo as you suggested with the metal horn, there are also some really good upgrades on CML Distribution and they are cheap as chips, not sure how legit that place is but seems to stock everything to do with FTX

Perfect advice thank you, I take it you got the Zorro also?

Hi All, Can anyone help with this question, the new FTX Zorro comes with the Servo listed below at Modelsport.. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-9kgcm-metal-geared-servo-434542 The first run with this car and the ESC failed., sent it away and it was replaced. 2 nd run, the servo failed or should i say the servo mechanics, after stripping it out the plastic steering servo horn has de-threaded itself meaning the teeth on the actual servo is not grabbing and therefore spinning leaving me with no steering, the second issue was the screw that holds the horn in place must have come loose and disappeared, this may be the cause of the horn stripping so easily. I am looking at buying another horn, made from metal instead of plastic, the question i have is how many teeth does the one above from model sport have? I have checked the manual and the spares online and nothing tells the this!! Surely this is important information? My instinct tells me 25T but then I read you can also buy 21T Horn? https://www.amazon.co.uk/N-Metal-Steering-Double-Single/dp/B08LSP5ZKL/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=steering+servo+horn&qid=1637417468&sr=8-20 Help would be appreciated P.S The spare Zorro shells they sell are useless too, they break very easily....

Now Sold - Please close 👍
