Anyone into R/C?

I’m running an 1800kv in this truck. I run the same AXE system with a 2300kv in my sport. I love this system. I’m using the stock pinion gear now, but it’s to fast. Planning on changing the pinion. I’d definitely recommend the axe system. The TRX4 is next to the Capra

 

I had a reefs servo go bad in my wraith, the return process left me not feeling great. I hear good things and the 555 in my venture has been solid. The one he sent me is still in the package and I have not been able to bring myself to use it. I have looked at the eco power but it does not spec as well as the reefs I can tell just by feel that the spektrum will not be a forever solution.

I chose a 2200 Kv puller pro stubby with an 11t pinion. Ill see how it goes tonight in a couple hours when I get home.

 

Goes person to person I suppose. There’s a guy on Facebook that burns my post every time I mention reefs, cussing at me. Lol.

Me personally, I’ve never had problem with reefs, nice guy in my experience. I love their servos though

 

Posing on “Cheap Trick”
She will get you going...slow, then drop you off quick.

I got my buddy back into RCs today. He wanted the TRX4 and that’s what he got.
...and then he broke my Bomber the steering in my Bomber somehow. Lol

 

Yeah the one in my venture has been great I should move on as he sent me a replacement. I may end up with that little one too

 

I’d certainly recommend it. It doesn’t come with a servo saver, but if you set your end points right that shouldn’t matter.

 

Got the capra rolling need to clean up the wiring tonight and go have some fun... 3 position dig setup wasn't bad at all for me just make sure the threaded shift rod is adjusted corectly

 

https://jecracing.com/ Makes an aluminum slipper eliminator, and an aluminum or brass servo mount. Kinda bulky though. I ordered an aluminum servo mount from supershafty, its much cleaner looking. https://intheworksrc.com/capra Makes some link options.

 

I ordered a supershafty servo mount. AJ flubbed and shipped out a few of the new ar60 mounts instead. Mine is on the way but I have to return the other when it gets here tomorrow.... he did make an offer to discount this one.... may use it on a bomber.

 

Any cheap power systems to go with the bomber? My girlfriend wants one but I’m not sure if I go RTR or kit.

 

I am running a Holmes trailmaster brushless motor when they were on close out for 50 bucks last spring. The ESC is a mamba max pro that i picked up second hand and put some conformal coating on. I’m not against second hand electronics if i can see them pickedup

 

For the guys that dig the micro stuff, looks like orlandoo is releasing a new model!

 

I should have never joined this thread
After seeing what your guys have built, has gotten me all geeked up to get a set of nice wheels.

 

Micro's are slowly taking over the fleet...

 

Super fun looking. What run times don you get out of some of those?

 

haven't been on this thread in a while! Im running an Axial trail honcho, heavily modded. got a course in my backyard if anybody's near Pasadena, hit me up for a crawl. micros I've seen lately are 1/24 and pretty damn capable, buddy brought over a 1/24 deadbolt and it rocked.

 

Anybody go to ProLine ByThe Fire? saw this insane rig there. I think that the guy controlling it was with RC4WD.

 

LOL!!!! great quote! I see you crawl at CDM, still haven't been there yet. Crawling above Griffith observatory? Gotta check that out. Hit me up for a crawl

 

More or less the 1:1 of that rig. That thing looks awesome.

 

I installed a holmes 13T Magnum motor and an 11T pinion to try it out...slipper slipping bad. I definitely see the need for a slipper eliminator on the capra. First off, you need to put grease in the slipper and pinion gears, second, the slipper plates are like mirror finish, and thirdly, the spacer that holds pressure on the slipper is plastic...and the clutch is half the size of an scx10. Maybe a short traxxas spring would fit, idk, I’m going to put some washers in for now and crank it down.
