-BEZ- Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Really like this one love the paint, what system/gearing are you using? and where did you get the front bumper? I havent settled on the ESC motor combo atm, but i have either a 2200kv or a 2650kv caslte 1515 to choose from, might see how well my SC8 ESC puts up with it, eventually it will get the tekin treatment xD Gearing wise shes on a 46t spur and 18t pinion, but that will change no doubt. Bumper is a t-bone jobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletflux 345 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 very nice Bez, you have to come to Kevs this week and give it its maiden Bash!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilclive Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thought that might be a t-bone will have to get one for mine! I have a MMM 2650 combo in mine.... only done a couple of quick runs with mine but was well impressed with speed, just need time to check temps and fiddle with set-up, got it on 16t pinion not sure what spur is haven't been bothered to count it yet lol. Think we need a hong nor x1 and x2 thread to put those hyper owners in their place (just kidding hyper types lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 From memory there are 4 different spurs for 1/8th Hong Nor's 44,46,48 and a massive 62 (for the early CRT nitros). Im not a massive castle ESC fan tbh, but that said i know they work well for many Im going to run a 4s 120A ESC and match it to the 1515 2650Kv, i might be tempted to pop my 44t spur on for some high speed fun I still have some poking to do under the hood, but shes coming on nicely now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldblades7 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 thats an awesome paint job there bez i think youve missed your vocation in life as ive seen a couple of nice shells now im loving my x2 at the mo ....tough as old boots she is are you taking it to kevs bash? would be good to see it in the flesh and i would like a few tips from the hong nor guru too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BEZ- Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Unfortunately I wont be able to make it to kevs bash, as im using my rc day ticket to go up to the ROSSA speed event. I want to get a good feel for things before i start my high speed project for a run next year. Any Q's Goldblades just fire away mate, and i will do my best to try and be of help Yeah just spotted that josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Finally bodged some test equipment in there, the paper says it should be fine, but im not convinced .............. only one way to find out and thats a few rounds of testing xD Here's the naked CR pic ive been promising: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BEZ- Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) UPDATE Well the weather finally decided to dry up for long enough for me to test the buggy, so i slapped on some tarmac rims and went off in search of some testing grounds. Initial Setup specs: ESC - Hobbywing SC8 120A Esc Motor - NeuCastle 1515 2200Kv Sensorless Servo - Savox 1256Tg Radio Gear - DX3R Pro with DSM2 Rx 5ms frame rate Power - x2 2s Intellect 6200 60C packs Gearing = 46t spur and 19t pinion Diffs - 50k - 50k - 10k Shocks - F 35wt Oil with LOSI Green Springs - R 35wt Oil with LOSI Silver Springs - Max preload (with 4 turns on droop front and back) - Shocks f + r mounted at steepest angle, using outer holes on arms Front Pin braces = Set B mounted on middle hole Rear Toe = 3 Deg Wheel Camber = 1Deg+ ........... well thats the basics anyway lol Initial Thoughts ............. well to start with the 2200 1515 NeuCastle is a bit to torquey for the buggy, as it did this to my tyres in less than 5 mins: But that said it was awesome fun to drift and held some lovely long drifts too (the diff setup was perfect for me on a high grip surface like tarmac) ........... on to the electrics, surprisingly enough the SC8 held up really well considering its ventilation was poor it got warmer then the Motor but not too hot to touch and hold on too, even with all the tyres spinning as much as they did ........ like a muppet i forgot my temp gun when i went out to confirm the exact temps, also a point to note is none of the wires got remotely warm, and thats using 4mm bullets too Suspension wise, the springs ive mounted were a tad on the soft side for my liking, so i would like to mount up some stiffer springs before hitting offroad ......... So things to do next, ream some holes in the shell and fit my 2650Kv 1515. Then play about with some stiffer springs Watch this space for updates Edited September 10, 2011 by -BEZ- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhel Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 That car looks nice. Shame on the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 After spending the day up at ROSSA ive decided to make the buggy my speed project, theres going to be lots of mods coming and hopefully i will be able to propel this beasty well over the 100Mph Mark ............... but its NOT going to be easy, after witnessing robins hyper, which had bags of power get 87+Mph, i know its going to take something special to hit the 100 Mph mark. Ive made a few tweeks to the CR now, here is how she stands ........ .... also that leave me with a set of barely used T-bones ......... they will be up for sale very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldblades7 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 thats one sweet ride fella what sort of motor and speedo would you need for that sort of speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
