Anyone into R/C?

Just the antenna. The Futaba receivers that I use have a long wire-antenna. On my 1/8 I tuck it in the receiver box and run a little shorty post (you can't even see it on the truggy, it's under the body). But I couldn't find anywhere to route it on the 22 4.0SR, so I just ran a post.

 

I was being facetious, I just haven’t seen a full length antenna tube.

 

I sorta figured but just giving an explanation. I just didn't want the wire in the way, tucked inside (with so little room on this model). I try to do it if I can but in this case, I thought the antenna was the best route.

 

yeah, I have an axial scx10 II

 

That’s the kit I’ve got, too. A $5 ESC from fleaBay would be enough.

I need a servo, motor mount, drive shaft to the transfer case, longer shocks, and upper links. LOL. Not much left to do.

Here’s a new cool body to get. Love the concept, too.

Its based off the real trophy rat, sweet car for sure, chassis is based of the 9 time champ sc5

 

Just found this thread. Built this scx 10 from the ground up. Made the mistake of bringing iit on the beach with me amd never cleaned it off. Time for a rebuild i guess! The boat is a blackjack 26, been so long i forget what motor esc combo i have in it, but i clocked it at 60mph+...the trailer i custom built out of aluminum and old coil springs and shocks from a onroad racer i had.

 

Surprised it’s still going.

 

Both drive shafts are locked up, this thread made me go out and spray penetrating oil on them, hoping to free them up, if not guess ill be ordering another set of mip driveshafts, lol. Axles seem to be free and motor and trans are ok. ill clean up the rust and never bring it on the beach again, haha.

 

Can you show some closeups of that trailer? I want to try to build one

 

its not pretty by any means but it gets the job done and is solid, lol. let me know what angles you want...

 

What did you use for axles

 

I think he used axles

 

If the oil doesn't help I have a suggestion. Pull them off and soak them in a tall glass with a mix of tablesalt and water. All the saltwater to fill the female side of the slip and let it sit for 10-20 minutes. Once they free up a good rinsing in fresh water followed by a blow gun and some more oil. Some "Hair of the Dog" of sorts.

 

its actually brake line. 5/16th maybe? i forget. but then i put a rod through sticking out on each end that was the same inside diameter of the wheel. works fairly well, never had them lock up on me.

 

will deffinetly try that! thanks! so far the rear driveshaft is starting to move some, front is still pretty solid.

 

You guys heard of LC Racing? Got one of em today, thing looks damn cool and has losts of metal. 1/14 scale ARTR for 205 shipped to door with a clear body.

Dont have any basher now that im mostly racing or crawling but this should be fun on and off the track.

 

Ok finally bit the bullet. Got a Vaterra Twin Hammers rtr with 3800mAh battery. Seemed like the best of both worlds (crawl and speed) and the daughter will be stoked.

 

This is my Losi nightcrawler. Had some fun times with this one around camp at night.
