Anyone into R/C?

That's pretty cool

 

Yeah, I have a few extra servos lying around, wouldnt takr much to set it up.

 

Do it

 

Well I couldn't fight the urge any more, I dropped the coin.

I got a TA SC8e on the way! I was going back and forth between the Slash 4x4 ultimate and the SC8. The SC8e was actually $10 cheaper. But those 3s Lipo batteries aren't cheap.

I'm excited cause it should be here Wed.

 

rc pic of the day!



ready for this long weekends shenanigans lol

 

Fear, I'm pretty sure I just came across (literally and realistically) a new DEX408, I'm pitching a little wood here. But it may be from watching F1 qualifying from Monaco...

 

blew another Castle ESC this afternoon..

 

which esc was it?

 

Sweet, you gonna get it?

Castle Cremations...

 

Took my new crawler out for a first run, snapped the rear 3 link connector

Anyone make a aluminum one besides hot racing?

 

I would get the full Axial aluminum link set. Part # AX30550 for the Honcho. Installing mine today after I waterproof.

Hard to tell in that pic, i am already running the aluminum link kit, the 3 link connectors are still plastic.

 

I see you guys mainly talk about crawlers, but curious if anyone can help. I keep breaking my 2wd slash brushless input shaft pin, the rolled one. Not sure why traxxas would just put a sleeve in there and not a solid one but whatever. I've heard of drilling a 1/16 hole in the place of it, and sliding in a hub pin. Anybody heard of this? Or have a better fix?

 

Just get the 4- link and be done with it.

I believe the that part number stated about is the 4-link set up

 

Yeah, it was posed to ship out today, it was the "used" one over on RCTech, that's never had a battery ran though it. Couple sets of tires/rims NIP, all the gold bits, built with Kyosho springs and some type (can't recall) of shock pistons.
I'm stoked....

 

Ahh - I misunderstood what you were asking.

Id like to, trying to put new tires on my 1:1 truck so thats around $1500 I need.. trying to get the best cheapest route back running, ill just get the hot racing 3 link connector and keep going.

that link set is for a 3 or 4 link setup, you still need more parts to make it a 4 link also.

 

What do you need, I think I got some extra alum parts that I am not using

 

Im not too sure, i havnt dug into the conversion too much yet, I believe longer links are needed, not sure what else.

I read up awhile back on how to make your own aluminum links so i may look into it more now, then all i would need is the mounting hardware for a 4 link setup.
