Cheers Hardcore. I'm of the view that i will try it and see! One half of AnT R/C on youtube, see my SCX10II in action there

Hi all, just got my red mauler last night. Going to be fitting a 1080esc to it and was wondering about a 35t motor too, since i have one spare, as i am happy to trade wheelspeed for torque. Will a 35t motor need regeared pinion /spur? Anyone tried stepping up the turn count yet? One half of AnT R/C on youtube, see my SCX10II in action there

I had that, it was the grub screw on the front drive shalf cup (otherside of trans casing) unscrewing and hitting the motor casing. I'm also wearing the cup at the front diff end of the prop shaft which clicks too i suspect. One half of AnT R/C on youtube, see my SCX10II in action there

Try it and see. But I would be surprised. Nothing to lose tho eh? One half of AnT R/C on youtube, see my SCX10II in action there

I would imagine any other Etronix transmitter. I don't think you can pair them across brands. One half of AnT R/C on youtube, see my SCX10II in action there

Ok rear diff locker fitted no probs. Took a min to work out how to fit it, but once inner cogs removed it dropped in a treat. Tried it around the flat (stainless steel prop shaft) and it seems unconcerned about locked diff which is great. May get out on trails with it this weekend.

Nice one! I'm gonna see how the std lockers fit first, simply as I have them at hand, but I like the idea of bluetak esp given that it much allow a degree of slip compared to the metal lockers should it be needed, instead of stressing other components. Great advice. I'll report back. Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

No way??? OK, so you just bung it in the diff? I thought it would just rip it up. Any probs with added stresses to drive train? I'm going to do rear diff, take it for a run, then try front if needs be. Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Bluetak? I'm about to fit the official diff locks so v curious. Is this the blue putty for sticking posters up? Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

I'd second those opinions. Esp those indicating the scx's basic superiority haha. Only kidding. These are quite dissimilar trucks within the genre, with the scx appearing to be slightly bigger in most respects with the frisky pup (hpi) determined to show the mature hound some new tricks. For its size I was surprised how heavy the Venture is considering how little of it there is. Clearly some serious chassis rails and a fair amount of metal parts lie within. It is indeed a great companion, with the 35T 2.4kg Venture bounding around the 55T powered 3ish kg SCXii.. I'd be curious how they compared with similar motor specs, but why bother? They are great fun and provoke a lot of friendly rivalry and genuine interest with their different characteristics. Oh and it tumbles well. Highly recommended esp at the moment because they're different. Do you really need a Jeep derivative? No. Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Yeah, necessity is the mother of invention right? [emoji16][emoji111]️[emoji482] Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Alright, so I think the solution lay close to home. About 2ft away from my scx 10.2 actually. Because it's for a lighting box (2x size of my RX), and Turnigy receiver switch thingy, and a mess of cables, a stock receiver box is likely too small. Because of the dimension requirement to fit on the chassis, project boxes haven't been found either. Then, as I looked around my bench in frustration, the solution. A plastic tub from Japan which contained some cheap accessories I ordered a while back. It ain't pretty but it fits. The water proof-ness may be a compromise but I can live with not submerging the truck. I'll spray it black of course, so it looks less like a lunch box. Haha. Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Nice one stretch, they didn't show up on my searching. They're ideal except I'd bet not big enough. But awesome research. Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Cheers Big Gaz, yes they look decent. Gonna measure up and see what will fit. Guess secret is all in the keywords in Google [emoji848] Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Hi all, Anyone got any recommendations for sourcing (from UK) receiver boxes? Since most are part moulded into floors there doesn't seem to be a huge choice in spares. I have seen the thread recommending Maplins, but any other ideas are welcome. Im looking for one to hold the light box (RC4WD type) on my scx10.2 so it needs to be a decent size too (approx twice size of std RX unit). I'll measure up tonight and add size range. I can balloon the box but obvs a waterproof option would be perfect. Cheers Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk
