    What did you do to your model today?

    Decided to finally fit the steel gears to the diffs on my Mauler. Opened up the rear diff expecting to find the stock plastic items to be bone dry only to discover they were already steel and lubed from the factory. When did this start happening? A lot of what you read on Maulers are complaints about the diffs stripping 🤷‍♂️

    Not exactly something I did today but was surprised (today) to see a familiar face (and some very pale looking legs) in the @Tomley RC video from EAST at the weekend. 
     

     

    I saw your post about almost losing a boot in the mud , then spotted someone in the background struggling in the mud and did wonder if i had just spotted a forum member

    What kind of seat?!?

    Whilst checking out MS i found this amusing little description in the Mogrich specs...  

     

    Scale interior features

    • Through the windows, the magnificent instrument panel and cabin interior can be viewed.
    • Canopy cab, foreskin seat
    • Create mod in gtr as mini RC car crawler
    • Rc rock crawler 4x4 offroad waterproof

     

    I think (hope)  something got a little messed up in translation , otherwise that's just horrific

    Finally got my hands on one of these now they're back in stock. Had a 1080 quicrun sitting waiting so now there are no more excuses. Guess i better figure out the program card and how to set it all up. Every day is a school day.

    Interested to know if anyone has tried this yet. Spotted the portal axles for the Hi rock on MS the other night and don't want to spend the money on the chance they might fit. Although i could just buy a Hi rock as well....

    So... Khaki exterior paint job is done and added adapted Mandalorian decals to roof and sides (another coming for bonnet). Also added metal mesh to side windows and rear bed as well as some engine highlights and piece of an old toy to give it added detail. Driver tray has gone matt black and just working on Mando silver helmet design to dry...

    We also repositioned the power switch to the rear so it can be accessed without taking off body shell.

     

    New Voltz 5000 mAh LiPo on the way as well as SkyRC charger and awaiting arrival of Power HD 20kg servo too. Links below.

    Thanks. I didn't look at these before as thought they had to be 7.2V to work in the Mauler...?  What charger do you use with them? 

    You just change the position of the link on the esc/receiver unit for lipo and you're good to go. I bought my Mauler from Modelsport and opted for the lipo package and that is what was supplied, i bought a spare as well. I use this charger for my batteries  https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/skyrc-t100-dual-battery-lipo-balance-charger-444856

    -That looks incredibly fast just sat there. Never had a nitro myself how do they drive compared to the electric equivalent?

    More TRX4 parts stockpiling. I’m rather surprised at the quality for £27! I wonder how they will wear….

    Injora stuff is quality for the price, i have a bunch of their stuff on my scx24 and zero complaints. In fact i just got a set of their beadlocks in 1.0" with about 3000 screws. Easy build. Surprisingly easy. 

    I can't vouch for their complete rc's but the parts are good and robust and very well finished too.

    Thats an amazing collection , and a dedicated storage place as well! 

     

    I'm relegated to a cupboard in the utility room where everything only just fits. No idea where this next wltoys buggy is going but thats a problem for another day.

     

    Gonna show the Mrs those pics, let her know my intentions for the future.

    Got some +4mm drive shafts fitted today, then got them unfitted too. All is well in a straight line but on full lock something on the front shafts are catching and its internal where the dog bones connect.  They allowed me to fit my brass steering hubs with the brass wheel weights and still secure the wheels, so they're off too unfortunately.

    I have noticed the standard shafts have a small chamfer at the end of the slots where the cheapo ones i have do not. The slot itself may also be a fraction wider on the standards ones but the fit is smooth. I'll match the shaft drive ends at work on monday but until then they're off.

    Today i decided to finally approach the dreaded fiddly motor change on my scx24. It all went better than expected , might even say smoothly and the results (so far) are great! it now runs much more quietly with a ton more low speed modulation. I've yet to test it on my local beachfront concrete/sandstone course the council have unknowingly provided but so far so good! Old parts are pictured also , I've kept them in case i total something , not because the wife says i'm a squirrel

    Took the Mauler down to the shore today, weather was lovely and it hadn't had a decent run yet.  It performed pretty well , going to have to swap out that esc and rx/tx though. I don't like how fierce the brake comes on, its gonna strip the gears and i can't find anywhere with the upgraded parts in stock. Good excuse to get some new stuff, and a spare battery or two
