Anyone into R/C?

@override You just got screwed by Photobucket's new 3rd party hosting rules.

 

Yeah I did, I pulled the thread and am freaking out now...I have 1750 photos floating around the WWW that are now just dead links.....I am so fu*king furious

 

I'm not surprised by their actions to be honest. Free doesn't pay the billls.

I am surprised by the lack of notice they seem to have given and the lack of choices offered. $399 is the only "shared" option.

I use Smugmug and tho it costs money, there are several different options. Been with them since the beginning.

 

There were a couple of comments that indicated this is probably what's gonna happen based on their actions. I believe that.

 

I picked up an M.Rage when they were on sale, too. Maybe I'm dumb, it I couldn't gin any bodies that would allow the wheels to be flush. Some with the right wheelbases, but none the right width. So I went another route and on the second pass with a 5000kV 3650 she caught a pebble and into looked like a rally car down the side of a mountain. It flipped end over end, barrel rolled a while, some more end over ends, more barrel rolling, and finally skidded to a stop on its lid. Only thing was it lost a rear hinge pin of which I refuse to pay triple for the shipping of a pin. So it's hung up on the wall...but man was it hauling ass.

 

yea mine looks like an RC especially with the lil whip flag on it

 

The Basher is based on the M class of Tamiya, so any bodies considered m class will fit, but you have to watch the wheelbase. The Basher comes with a 210mm wheelbase, and I have seen where some have been able to gain another 5mm by flipping the a-arms. You can search for bodies by HPI for their Cup series cars, that is where I found the Status body. HPI also makes wheels for their Cup series in different offsets. The Statos required 0 offset up from, but needed 6 offset in the rear.

It's good to hear that it can stand up to abuse. I know I flipped mine once with the Suzuki..

 

So not sure if this is cool or not. But I have 2 full-size truggies. My TLR 8ight-t 3.0 is my main race truggy and then I also have the Arrma Talion as sorta like my 'back-up' etc. I've posted both in this thread. My friend that I go to the track with has 2 1/8 buggies ; A Tekno EB48.3 as his main racer and an Arrma Typhon as his 'back up'. So he asked if I wanted to trade Arrmas, so that we could each run both divisions (1/8 scale buggy and truggy). So I agreed. So now I own the Typhon. It may not be as competitive as his Tekno in 1/8 buggy, but I still think it can win/ do well. Same goes for him with the Talion vs the 8ight-t. Hopefully I don't regret it later down the line, but as of right now, seemed like a cool idea, having 1 of each rather than 2 of the same type of vehicle. Either way, I have no shortage of other truggies, as I also have the mini 8ight-t and both brushless ERevos (1/10 and 1/16) lol.

Ordered a GPM locked rear diff for my Yeti Jr. Maybe it'll bring some back into it. GPM seems to be the only ones attempting to support the YJr., including Axial.

 

I heard the factory that's making Axial products is moving. Maybe that's why no apparent support?

 

I heard there were issues with the factory and axial held stuff back for their axial fest event.

I put the rock racer wheels and tires on my trophy truck. It looks great and screamed but it's burning up the stock motor when I run it too long. Needs a gear change. I do enjoy the yeti jr though

 

May be. Looks like Traxxas has a winner so far and Axial better step up when they get operational again.

 

Is anyone at Axial Fest? I'm not but a few retired friends are

 

I got a wheelie king with a brushless motor on lipos and i keep losing power to one of the rear wheels. Ive got an upgraded drivetrain on it. Any ideas?

 

All connections are good in the rear end?

 

Yes, i thought it was just the stock rear end, so i upgraded to an integy rear end but its doing the same thing.
