Anyone into R/C?

Different platform, E-Revo 1.0, 6S - diff cups are filled with silicone oil 30K weight. Ring gear I lightly lube with Lubriplate.

 

Shoot that's right they're actually oil-filled.

I was thinking of something else, thanks.

Nice! But you can keep that cold, wet, white stuff up there.

 

I don't think the Grom diffs have seals so they usually just stick some grease in them vs oil.

 

So then I did read correctly

I'll be gone this weekend, so when I get back I'll open her up

Just don't want to go using a "wrong" grease

 

I don't think you can really go wrong with anything. Since you're not trying to pack it in like you would with a diff oil, just a light coating is enough. Since they don't seal you can't really tune the diffs easily, though I did put some silicone ear plugs in the front diff to lock it up a little.

 

Anyone have 1.9 inserts (silicone or foam) you like?

 

I prefer Injora over foam, however I prefer BAMF (not that BAMF ) 3d inserts the best. They never fold over completely and are insanely soft everywhere else. I suppose you could insert any 3d guys like sl3d in there, but they're the best for crawling.

 

One more thing, I'm excited as a kid at Christmas. My new Quickrun Fusion Pro should be arriving in an hour or so. The Ascent Fusion gets an upgrade and Frankenstein is one step closer to life, mah ha ha ha!

 

I love the capability out of the box from the Redcat Ascent, but I love the looks of the SCX24 licensed bodies.

This leads me to go the custom route of skipping buying the Axial altogether, and just piece together all the aftermarket parts themselves.

This way I can skip the initial purchase cost since everything will be replaced anyway.

With that said, is there any one frame that's recommend over another, in terms being compatible with "SCX24" specific parts? I plan to run the Lexus GX470 body on said frame.

 

FMS FCX10 LC80 was delivered!





Unfortunately the wheels and tires I wanted to use are too small:



I haven't even plugged a battery in and already swapped to heavier wheels and tires:



Quite a bit larger than my MST CFX!



So far not liking the clipless body system. It's a great idea but my front body mount barely latches. I have to basically hit the corners of the hood to get the front end to latch. Too much force for my liking.

 

Been eyeballing that one myself

Is there a way to individually unplug each turn signal?

 

I will have to let you know after I actually turn it on.

 

Well what are you waiting for?!

 

I have RC ADD.

I built a car almost two years ago and never even turned it on. I have a couple of unbuilt kits I've been sitting on for months if not a year +. I have an issue.

 

Well that looks awesome

 

I know a guy that's retired and will gladly break in some of those kits for you

 

For the LC80 body I think that tire size is spot on.

 

Bigger tires definitely look good on the LC
