Anyone into R/C?

Oh I've got inventory, it's all on my table! Was surprised to see bushings included with the shocks too that weren't included in my other shocks (same brand).

What shocks did you get? I got Injora and they specifically state they don't come with oil so I'll need to see what weight to go with.

I'll buy some 20wt since I've got 30wt on me.

What weight are you going with?

 

40mm Big Bore, and either peanut oil or whatever is in the Kyosho bottle, it's lighter that 30w.

 

Haven't opened my Big Bore pack but my other Injora's I bought for the FCX18 also came with 5 springs.

 

My Injora 39mm came with 5 springs as well. Both had a few drops of oil. I dumped it out and put some 15 in. Just a couple drops to help it move not actually building them with oil to dampen really

 

That's about what these have, just a few drops. Maybe it was a manufacturing thing.
Cold enough this morning?

 

I actually woke up to turn the heat up so the baby doesn't get cold or wake up early

 

15 minutes of run time in 11 degree temps.

 

Oooh man wheels look good!





Also, my 3D printed battery tray arrived!

Freaking thing came out Perfect

His print settings paired with my CAD made it happen for sure.

 

Injora UTB cage showed up after 3 weeks. Screws included.
Seems like pretty durable flexible plastic, didn't have any trouble getting it together. All the pieces have a socket they fit into for added stability.


I did reuse the stock skid plate over the supplied one. It was just heavier, and those extra bits of plastic on the inner side of the Injora interfered slightly with the driveshaft at full droop.
Turns out they were not in the way after the shocks were installed.
Side note, the stock skid has two centering pins on each side for the SCX10 frame, the Injora cage had those holes predrilled and ready to go.


Needs softer springs and bigger tires. I have some 2.2 Rock Lizards that would look great, just no wheels to fit them.

Kit came with a sweet LED light bar, will show that later after the sparky stuff is situated.

Couldn't help it, it was just staring at me asking to be assembled

 

That looks goooooood!

Did you buy a different hardware kit?

Your hardware looks to be like brass!

 

Got both an lgrp kit in brass and an Amazon special in stainless. The Amazon special has the 12mm screws which will be hidden behind the sliders anyway. That comes in on Monday as well as my shocks. So come Monday I'll be able to put everything together minus a body and servo. I'll have a roller!

 

Oh no way, I didn't even look to see if they sold hardware.

 

They have a couple of options. This is the one I got

I wish that last empty space was 12mm screws, but nooooo that would be too easy .

They also have this one, which does have 12mm length screws but I didn't need the tools

And it sucks they're sold out of their other kit.

It's like what the hell, everyone is sold out of everything.

 

Looks great! Love the brass hardware.

 

@Strictlytoyz

You still gonna do the lame black and grey paint scheme?

 

Sitting here on a Saturday night assembling some wheels and tires and watching the NFL game, definitely doesn't suck except for the lingering flu part lol

 

Now that you put it like that, I may give a patina look a try. Wish me luck
