Anyone into R/C?

Did the horn come with the servo or is it one you had? It may be a larger/different spline count on the horn and this cause to the slack in it.

 

I do R/c Helicopters. Have a Trex 250,500L and 700 dfc

 

Just moved to Vegas and lookin for recommendations on where to take the ole honcho out! Any of y'll local?

 

red rock or vof

 

took the sancho out this weekend

 

Grea Pic!
I thought that was a real full size scene there. Was looking hard at that rear axle trying to figure out what it came out of

 

hahah my girlfriend came walking around the corner as i was laying down in the dirt trying to get a good angle. i felt like that little tree to the left really added to the scale factor.

 

What's vof?

 

Makes me miss my Honcho. On another note, I got my Budget Bomber Basher up and running. Runs like a raped ape and may get faster. I started out with a Traxxas 12t 550 and smoked my ae-5. It ran decent with it. Then I was fresh out of big power in my parts boxes, so I geared down from a 64 tooth spur to a 56 tooth because that's all I could do to run the sensorless motor I found. A 3650 can that's a 2100kV. I had it for the Wroncho build but it was too slow and I couldn't gear down enough with the scx10 tranny to make it work. With the Bomber tranny I could. 13/56 gearing on 2s and 3s is a blast. It's cheap gear and I'm waiting for it to burn up but it hasn't. No cogging either with the low kV. I ran 2-1200mAh packs through it yesterday from 12.6v down to 10.2v and the motor/ESC was just warm. I may have a combo that suits me. I did snap my servo horn off doing a cartwheel and have some on order. Then I'll likely snap off my servo plate or the case itself next.

 

Valley of Fire.

 

Couple bodies I painted yesterday

 

Picked up a Rustler VXL. This is a ton of fun. Gonna go LiPO here shortly.

 

I just ordered two ECX Ammp MT kits for my kids. I hope they're as tough as I've read they were because my kids are fairly rough. I kicked them off my crawlers.

 

Had a wee bit of a wreck with the Rustler. It was suggested I upgrade to CVDs. So I did. They're here but no instructions.
Looks pretty straight forward-is there anything I should know before tackling this?

 

Make sure all the joints on the cvds are greased.

 

This is for MIP CVDs but I think it'll work http://miponline.com/store/mip08123.html Couple instructions on there. I loved my Rustler, first real RC vehicle I got. Those things can take some serious abuse. Replaced a ton of stuff but it kept trucking. Then I went with a nitro Stampede, dropped the 3.3 in it and now she has way too much power. Wheelies for days!

 

Thanks! I got the Traxxas ones but they seem close enough to this. I'll definitely grease everything well.

It was a pretty spectacular crash...a couple of us were mobbing around a pretty big parking lot, I had my jump setup and had just come over it when two of us slid into one another-ass end of the Rustler took it pretty hard. We had a ton of fun. Managed to break an A-arm on my buddy's Slash. We're already trying to recruit friends

 

I got the new Traxxas axles installed. But I have other issues I guess something must have happened to the transmission or something...anyway, at least the axles look pretty bad ass.

 

My cousin went full throttle into a fence with mine and the gear box slid apart from the motor if I recall correctly. Good work on the axles!

 

I need to take it farther apart I guess. I also have some more bling too but I'm waiting for the original stuff to break first
