OUCH !!

 

Pricing up hop ups, or should i say possibly needed upgrades this project is really getting expensive for a 1/18th........metal underdrive transmission gears, metal axle ring and pinion set and a set of metal links to add a little low weight plus maybe an Injora 180 motor with the hi trail F-150 we are at about £252 then i would like a light kit.

kinda feel im pricing this up and getting reluctant to lob this kind of money into this project.........if i am gonna go ahead might have to drop the motor and metal links from the list

looking good,

 

part of me is slightly tempted with this axial but i guess i best stick to the plan, maybe get this at a later date https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/axial-1-24-scx24-dodge-power-wagon-4wd-rock-crawler-brushed-rtr-green-1353668

Thanks for the input and advice, was going to order today but no one in to take delivery so gonna have to wait a week,  but i may be able to collect while out on my deliveries.....if i can get a truck into modelsport car park

I think i will go with 32% underdrive does pinion come of easy enough

[The Traxxas trx4m owners thread]

Nearly ready to order the trx4m f-150 but im gonna want the lower ratio gears for transmission, i guess best get the metal gears and seems pinion needs swapping is this about right

I ended up with the tyres I linked, they seem decent and I’ll be testing them tomorrow morning. I’m going to pick up a set of Rocko’s for my spare set of rims when they come back into stock 👍 

 

I have found the more budget tyres like from Injora dont seem to give there best till they have had a few runs, a bit of breaking in

Nice one the poor Badger to a fright

[Which radio should I buy?]

Here is my DumboRC  X6PM-350 6 channel, i find this a lovely radio to use, all the buttons illuminate when pressed showing what channel is in use, it will do multi model but does not store so a case of binding a car to the TX if you want to change over, not all that practical but then this TX is only £23 on Banggood  i added the wide elastic bands to the wheel to assist with one handed driving

I don't think I'll put it in the tarantula or IR40. I use those just for crawling so I don't want any weight higher up. 

I take the Bronco out on the hills some times so the extra wheel speed may be beneficial. 

It still amuses me putting bigger motors in trucks, can't help it. 

Might have to ask you about some left over stuff you may have when i get the F-150

New injora 370 motor and gearbox arrived today. 

Here's a couple of size comparison picture's ...

 

Nice but cant help think the big 370 may be overkill it would for me

[Which radio should I buy?]

Dumborc naff name but quality kit, very good radio

[Traxxas glue on tyres ☹️]

Don't do the oven method, I would try soaking the rims in isopropylene and leaving it for a few days

It’s a cracking radio, been going through the setting and it has everything you could wish for and more, like cruise control, winch controller mix etc 

 

The instructions are rubbish though and seems quite battery hungry, definitely needs a little lipo tx pack 

I guess not room for a Li-Ion pack in there, i made an 18650 3S 1P pack for my flysky gt3 and only charge it about 3 times a year and unlike a lipo the Li-Ion battery likes to be left charged

I cannot deny their following so they must be fine, BUT I just wish they had a different brand name……

100% agree on my original one i taped over the logo, but now i just live with the brand name

[FTX Focus WRC Brushless]

This is new as in not run other than testing indoors, and its built on the FTX 1/10 builders kit, has mg servo and 540 brushless motor with 60 amp esc, no radio supplied and body is HPI focus, this car has a bit of a tight diff not sure if front or back but with wheel nuts nipped up it binds a bit so needs sorting

price is £100 collected or £115 posted economy with Evri
