Thinking of picking up an axial ryft or Capra for autumn. I have never owned a crawler of any type so I’m a bit clueless. I do a lot of mountain biking and know of some amazing places for rock crawling I’d love to try. I know the ryft is a bouncer technically but there are places where a bouncer would be great fun as well as spots a crawler would be better. With the two speed gearbox can the ryft give the best of both worlds or is it a compromise. I’m not taking the whole thing too serious and just looking for something to play with but would still like it to perform well. As I say I’m clueless on crawlers/bouncers so any help appreciated. Thanks

Selling my little tamiya m07 concept, just can’t get into on road stuff. Built it up in may and probably ran 10 packs through it. Fun little car to drive, turns great with power on. Built stock, few scratches on the bottom from running on asphalt. Comes with spare medium compound tamiya radials mounted on rush wheels and a spare set of tamiya hard compound radials un mounted. Included will be an assortment of spares that came with the car. Comes with ithe core rc 15t silver can and hobbywing brushed esc £120 plus post.

There 60c batts, to be fair it’s a big 6200mah pack being run on a loose dusty surface which needs a lot of aggressive throttle action, maybe it’s reasonable for it to get hot then

I got out yesterday for a run with my hyper VS buggy and a new hobbywing max8 combo I had put in after the original esc died, it’s the cheaper sensor less combo (not g2) with the 2200kv combo. It’s running good but I did have a temp cut off issue at one point, running on mostly loose dirt and 4s. The motor was hot enough that touching wasn’t overly pleasant and the battery was very warm as well. It’s currently on a 16t pinion that was stock, the mesh is good and the drivetrain is free feeling. Is it just a case of dropping pinion a couple of teeth as the motor is 200kv higher than stock setup? Any help from those with more knowledge than me would be greatly appreciated.

The Esc won’t let me reset, holding the set button does along with switching on does nothing, I’ll try a pulling motor wire and see what happens. time to spend some £££ on some new kit I think

Thanks for the suggestions stormbringer. Its definitely is a strange one, just to grind to halt like that. I’ll maybe pick up a new max8 motor and esc combo and see just replace the whole lot.

I don’t have another moto mr to try but even after sitting for a few hours it’s still no beeping for the battery. The car still seems to roll freely, I should maybe take the motor out and spin it on its own and see

Been running my Hoboa hyper Vs RTR for a few months (pretty sure it’s a hobbywing max 8 esc in the RTR), probably about 30 packs or more through it but had a little issue today I couldn’t resolve. The car stopped running while I was driving and wouldn’t go again, when I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in the motor didn’t beep for the cell count and now the red and green lights stay solid lit on the ESC, I thought it was maybe the pack but I’ve tried 2 other fully charged 4s packs and it still doesn’t work, fan comes on at the esc but it seems like it maybe the motor at fault? It did have an intermittent problem previously where occasionally it just wouldn’t pick up throttle input for a split second but I hadn’t had that in ages, not sure if it could be connected. Any input from those wiser than me would be greatly appreciated!

Wera wera do make brilliant stuff, I use a lot of there stuff for work and the quality is above most brands

It’s an m07 concept for racing in the mini class, haven’t built a tamiya in a good 20 years, I may look into sourcing the screws individually, or at least the ones that will be in and out regularly

Thanks for the feedback, that’s exactly what I was afraid of, nothing complicated a simple job more than stripped hex heads, I’ll avoid those

Trying to pick up a hex set of screws for a tamiya mini build and the place in the title came up on Google, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them? If so are the screws decent quality?
