Anyone into R/C?

Hoping for $50.

 

So the rest of my suspension is on. Also, the Dex8 wing. So the Typhon is pretty dialed in now. I still need to upgrade the servo but other than that, this thing is pretty much able to hang with any of the 1/8 buggies at my track.

 

I'm in for them at 40 and I'm PayPal ready

 

Carisma has a new 'Yoder out. It's preordering right now. A 2nd generation Toyota Stout.

 

Look what came in today!

 

I've got 3 axials
Wrangler (wife lots of mods)
2 honchos for my boys
And a Rc4wd hilux that's a replica of my hilux


Oh and a mugen 1/8 nitro buggy

 

Took a chance on some cheap "steel alloy" axle housings for my wraith. At $23 each, I couldn't pass them up.

Xtra Speed Steel Alloy Front or Rear Axle Housing for Axial Wraith YETI AR60 RR10 Black #XS-AW230051BK

They were delivered today and I installed them when I got home. Was pleasantly surprised at how heavy they are. They feel like they are made of pot metal, but the fit and finish is superb. Everything bolted right up, bearings slid right in, and I was able to use my beef tubes in them. I have no idea how sturdy they are, but the reviews I have found have been positive. Hoping to give them a workout this weekend.

Looks like they make them for the SCX10 as well, so I may buy some for my dad.

Edit: I also forgot to mention that they are quite heavy.

 

Just installed aluminum links and a new servo/servo horn on my girlfriends Bomber and now when turning it's getting binded and clicking real bad. Too much steering now?

 

Where's it binding and clicking? Drive cups on the axle? Is the drive shaft angle geometry still good?

 

my lhs has the scx10 rtr for less than 300. i am contemplating buying another.

 

Go for it. I just ordered one of these for mine...or build another. The Charger body I posted a few pages back came in and they had shipped it in a bag wrapped in sheet foam. It was crushed pretty good. I complained and they're sending another but in a box this time. So I got to playing with my heat gun and actually got most of the white creases out. I was getting overeager and eventually melted a door. But I kept practicing and surprised myself. If it wasn't for the door melted it would be presentable painted and hacked up as a crawler or rally type body.

Drive shaft angle is still spot on. The new servo evidently has a way larger steering angle than the stock one. So I toned it down and it seems fine. It was binding where the axle meets the steering knuckle.

 

The RTR has the dogbones and cups. I scored a set of Axial unis way back on fleaBay for literally $14 I think it was. I figured they were knockoffs but can in unopened Axial parts bag. I have Wraith with china knockoffs and they held up to moderate crawling quite well. Get rid of the stock axle shafts and you can turn the end points back out.

 

The Yeti

 

^^That looks like a great place to crawl!

 

Put the new rig together from scratch.

Wraith frame
Billet (skid, links, transmission, esc holder, servo horn)
Metal (axles, steering, 120mm shocks, beadlock rims)
Alloy (Body Panels)
Upgraded savox servo
2.2 pitbull tires

Need to get it out on some dirt

 

Looks clean! Take some pics when you take it out.

 

Will do. Put it together last night. Hopefully I get to run it today. slipper clutch already bothers me so Ill be glueing that together.

 

Nice wraith! here's a few shots of mine
