  1. Yes I would just get a new radio. No long antennas, no interference that can lead to runaways, lighter, uses less batteries (3-4 AA cells instead of 8). You can easily rewire any transmitter to accept a 2S or 3S lipo or liFe (basically just cut the two wires and splice in a female servo connector) but again, space is the issue. For the effort and the cost of a 3S pack you’re better off getting a new 2.4G radio
  2. Modern transmitters usually have a removable battery tray with a Futaba servo connector. The Life pack just replaces the battery tray and plugs to the radio the same way. For older radios that use 8 AA cells you could use a 3S lipo pack but space might be an issue
  3. I believe it’s more of a strength issue than skill lol. I watched the video posted and still had a difficult time. I don’t remember having a hard time mounting the rear tires on my Buggy Champ but I do remember having a really difficult time with the Hornet’s which are the same spiked tires as the Fighting Buggy. Have yet to build my Grasshopper and Sand Scorcher, I’m hoping those tires will be easier to mount
  4. Mounted the electronics on the Fighting Buggy. Build is almost done, just have to install the lights. Mounting those rear tires was torture!
  5. Nah, these are definitely the hardest tires to put on. Otherwise I wouldn’t have spent an hour getting the first one mounted, and another 2 hours trying to get the second tire on. I even let my wife have a go at it. No dice. So yeah, if two adults couldn’t easily mount these, then I don’t see any kids being able to do this. My hands are all blistered and sore, hopefully tonight I can get that second one mounted so I can finally finish this build.
  6. Yeah there’s no way a child could fit these tires. Read the instructions eh? There’s only one diagram and it says press in while rotating the wheel inward and pulling on the tire. I’ve done this before when I built my Hornet and I hated it and I’m doing it right now building my Fighting Buggy and I now hate it even more.
  7. Nice! I can see that you installed a ball diff as well. Did you choose to go with the high speed or low speed gearing? I went with the low speed with mine since the pinion is steel and the high speed one is the soft Tamiya. I also spent a lot of time bleeding the air out of the rear shock and reservoir line but the next day there were some bubbles again
  8. Yes there are 75mm tires that fit 1.9 wheels. AliExpress has them. They come come with wheels but are not glued so you can mount them on another set of wheels
  9. Another ARTA NSX body for me today, the box on this one is more beat up than usual but for the price I really can’t complain
  10. Installed some hopups on the on the TA08 Pro. Since I already have so much invested into it, I plan on eventually turning it into a TA08R…
  11. More soldering today. Almost halfway done moving all my 2S electronics from deans to XT60. These are just so much better, so glad I made the switch.
  12. I got them from Lazada which is like the Amazon.com here in my country. The price isn’t that bad in AliExpress, I bought three there 2 months ago during their anniversary sale for $87 shipped. I love these receivers, they’re cheap, tiny and work great.
  13. Some stuff from China. A couple more DasMikro Futaba receivers, TT—02 aluminum uprights, 1/8 air filter, clear nano double-sided tape. Still can’t believe I paid less than $14 each shipped for these receivers, what a good deal
