Anyone into R/C?

haha yeah, went out today on 3s and snapped the front right driveshaft and stripped something, the left front wheel if it has any resistance it wont spin.

Looks like im gonna make a order for the the mip x-duty cvd kit front and back, not sure if ill go with rpm a-arms or the protrac, these parts are adding up quick . Also as for shocks its either going to be the proline powerstrokes or d8t, then I need a better tire to be able grip better..

 

Thank you Daddy it is beautiful!!!

 

Know I got to punch holes in it with out messing up the paint job.

 

nice body. good work t4daddy

 

Yeah, I really like to mount before I paint if at all possible. Mainly cause you can see what/where it needs to go.

 

Finally got some free time to dick around with my truck!!


Waiting on a friend to arrive with my new tires... I guess I'm just gonna glue my turnbuckle into my ball cup until I get some new ones...

 

I would totally complement or criticize on the good or bad job t4 may or may not have done.... but I can't tell from that pic!!

 

In other news... I was on a tractor from 7am to 2pm today (no lunch)... I kinda want an r/c tractor..

 

Put those light and grill stickers on there. Can/do you do anything with those "bumpers"?

 

I am going to put led's in the lights.

Nope nothing with the bumpers, I got rock armor bumpers so I got to do some trimming.

 

Spent a few more hours at the track today. New setup worked and I worked on my driving enough to clear the triple. I feel a lot more confident.

Thanks for all the help and support.

I snapped a ball end again, same one as last week. 6273 right side, inner hole. The ball end snaps a few mm below the nut. The remaining screw gets stuck in the bulkhead. I can't drill it out properly so i have to replace the whole 9564 part.

It's breaking at the same place on the track, a single into the plateau. I think I'm slamming the rear end into the flat spot and the weakest link is the ball end. Am I supposed to land nose down or completely flat on the plateaus?

 

Somehow I wound up with a carbon one of those. My original didn't break but I just put it on while I had the truck apart. Hasn't given me any problems.

 

^^^Greg, I'm confused. The jeep body is on your wraith? or you have two scx10's?



I've been thinking about getting a crawler more and more. Mainly now so I can drive around and turn people over on the track instead of needing someone to turn marshall or having to run after them.

 

I have a Wraith and Scx10. That honcho is my father in laws.

The jeep body is going on the SCX10.

 

Riiiight. Those big tires were messing with me. I feel like they're too tall for a truck that narrow....

You know what would fix that??

 

To add to my last response... I find that the smoothest landings happen when the rear tires land just a hair before the front. It also helps to have your shocks tuned where they aren't bottoming out. If you ARE bottoming out heavier shock oil will help, along with stiffer springs. I would recommend the shock oil before the springs, though.

 

Nice! The silver truck is my favorite.
