  1. fb bargain, t100 dual charger, 2x 5000mha overlander lipos i dont run xt60 so had to make a bunch of adaptors for charging the other lipos.
  2. used to 3d print unu clips, for my motors and cables. theres a uk guy Bigfoot Customs UK that does similar 3d printed UUU cable clamps. Check them out perhapse.
  3. Rossa Rnd1 2023 Incase you missed it, new WR from the man himself.
  4. Yes, they made a big hum har about their proprietary port or lack there of fusion has no sensor port, axe sensor has a unique plug, axe v1 and v2 have different plugs so you cant use an axe v1 motor with a v2 esc. If you want the best servo, you might want to look at the holmes hobbies 4/3s servos, they pack some serious power for some big money.
  5. No I got a 2mm thick body for that exact reason, it doesnt need reinforcing its thick enough to take impacts and not flex under load. The issue is stopping the body mounts flexing as the body and car are pushed into the floor from downforce. I have used normal tc bodies and fiberglass tape in the past, but thats just to make them last a bit longer, doesnt stop the flex or parachuting that can occur on the thinner body shells.
  6. The only shell i intend to run is the delta plastic porche shell, shown in the images. Its very heavy and 2mm thick. Would have cost over 100£ if imported, managed to snag the last one on modelsport. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/1349081
  7. can you reset the esc?, hold the button and turn it on it will chirp, try disconnecting a motor wire any chirps?
  8. Felt rude to not take her for a walk
  9. Indeed but theres no need when any 5mm bore pinion will fit, thus making any pinion a spur gear, thus saving the need for any custom cuts. As you can see here i have a small pinion as a spur in the rs4 to see if it works. I did the same with the banzai even popped mod 1 in there.

    Ready to Runs

    Stick 8s in your hyper, it will take it. My 20 year old hyper has a max 6 motor and 8s esc 😄 its scary. You can put the kraton shell on the hpi i think, didnt kev do it to his HPI Savage?
  11. Castle Mamaba Monster X (Stick with what you got, if it melts (doubt it) then just move up. Castle are solid and have excellent warrenty and service, unless you have had really bad experiences yourself, i would ignore the very few vocal haters, theres many a happy castle customer. Kevins esc's went for specific reasons, wrong windings, non upgraded firmware etc. A hobbywing max 8 system would be a downgrade imo. Theres a reason all the speed runners use castle... they are great. My max 8 system has basically fallen apart, (cant replace the power switch when the cables snapped at the resin), whilst all my castles work just fine and can easly replace the harnesses.
  12. Front outer and inter portals, kept the plastic arms as a weak spot, For the rear, just outer covers, might go for inner covers too, but dont feel it needs it atm. Get underdrive gears, stick them in the rear, they arn't cheap but makes a difference with climbing. You can get overdrive gears too, but the underdrive gives the same effect, if your want lots of overdrive, you can overdrive the front aswell as underdrive the back. We dont run wheel weights just heavy alloy wheels that work out to be 150g each with tires fitted. All up the trucks about 5kg. I got mine from local shops and fitment mmm, well getting the bearings out isnt fun, and irrc the front inner covers didnt come with the right length screws and they were cheese.
  13. Fasttrack brass is black for trx https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/327167/
  14. From what I've seen on other bashers, it's not as strong as others, metal chassis and bulk heads don't last on big air but few do. If its not extreme bashing you should be OK. 🙂
  15. I haven't done any mods, they say add a washer to stop the back ring pinion slop. As noted you can fit pinions on the driveshaft, this is good because the only other gearing choice is the high speed set and I hear these melt. Probably some metal c hubs as they seem weak.
  16. Well how about that, does what it says on the box 😉 new you wouldnt be able to fault it.
  17. Same here, could do with a spur gear etc, lets see what you have, i cant pop around, do you have any photos?
  18. Sounds like your should try to attend a rossa or speed frenzy event, where fellow minded speed enthusiasts send there cars to 200mph on a runway in a very controlled and safe for people (not the cars) environment that just ooses passion, cant find a better group of people. Theres a group doing a tamiya 100mph challenge this year. Worth the trip always worth it.
  19. Arrma hoons will do 100mph, you can also try contact foams for over 100mph passes. No issues pushing i think silver hoons to 101mph, maybe want a softer compound if your draging it. Running a hyper 7 with 32t pinion and 34t spur on a 8s motor and esc, dropping the trigger not pulled a tire off the rim yet. They wont grip because the power and compound. Have you tired are you allowed to use compounds on the tire to prep them, eg drag mixtures / glue.
  20. My old ride before moving to uk, miss her was lots of fun and kept up with cars way out of its league. Upped the boost she really did pull, otherwise pretty much stockish.
  21. 50c is not hot these have cuttoffs in the 100s of c they do come with a fan no one uses the fan as its not needed 🙂 Width isnt the issue even with spacers they will rub due to scrub angles, i have 2.2 traxxas canyon tires they are not as big as other 2.2s so i use them on the back of the outlaw to underdrive the rear and 2.2 rc4wds on the front that are 5mm bigger on the front to over drive it. The height is the issue, when loaded on a corner, see it will rub your metal sliders or front bumper.
  22. Serviced the hpi savage xs then gave it a wee bash about, gears look brand new, cups wear out pretty fast and geared for 75mph+ a blast on 2s with the 4s esc monster power! wheelies on dirt no issues. High pressure washed and blow dryed, back on the lads shelf he wouldnt even know i had a play and maybe 20 jumps 😉 haha Really fun little car, never regretted the purchase, hows the rs4 not as durable 😞
