  1. I'm a bit, heavy handed for the 1.5mm I think...🦧🀣 Just give the motor grub screw a little nip and...oh I snapped 2 of the Arrowmax ,before I figured it was actually cheaper getting a 1.5mm MIP.
  2. I have an Arrowmax set, but after snapping a few of their 1.5mm drivers, I bought an MIP 1.5mm.
  3. Guessing you don't need shock tower protectors where you run? To protect the carpet ,more than the car.
  4. 9yrs ago.😳 Still all the parts to build it, are in the corner of the garage....😬 Its on the list πŸ™„πŸ˜‚
  5. I believe the Neo Fighter originally came with friction shocks, but over the last few years, they've come with a free CVA upgrade, making it really only body , wheels and tyres, that are different.
  6. I run Schumacher big bore shocks on most of mine. Used to be able to get them fairly cheap 2nd hand, but like everything, Covid tax seems to have bumped the prices up these days.
  7. Out of interest, have the Β£10 - 15t Firebolts (Corerc 15t) ever been tested for RPM in each direction? They're not arrowed, so just presume they're not. 860/880 esc, 2x 15t firebolts , 2s lipoπŸ‘
  8. Wow! Hope she's okay, and no lasting Tamiya fears. I've done this with mine, when my Sanwa (meant to be one of the top radios?) was set to the wrong model, plugged the battery in on my Mid, and... Not sure why they do it, it shouldn't even be talking to the receiver to matter about calibration points, and should stop if no signal! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  9. Not done a massive lot since the last post tbh, Christmas, then off work and away for the New Year, then 2 children's birthdays in the January (yeah, we planned that well, but, my birthday is April, so.....πŸ™„). Managed to source all of the missing heater ducting I needed, and got delivered. Certainly not 'as new' but there's not a great stock to be picky in the UK.. Some of my ducting has been damaged at some point, meaning mounting brackets where smash/missing. A bit of spare flat bar, provided small enough to fit in the duct groove, and a decent mounting point. With the amount of cracks / damage , I invested in a plastic welder, actually only Β£13 off Amazon, so it's earned its keep in its first job! Next was to mount it all, and test to see if anything would catch (ie, speakers, injection wiring loom etc). Doesn't look pretty, but cable ties , bottom of a milk carton (should goto the center heater vent, but theres a fuel pressure and a temp gauge in there, so a cheap way to blank off...πŸ™„) and gaffer tape did the job 😁 With the dash in, I could measure the space for the new ECU in the glove box, it needs to be easily accessible for tuning, and also live logging with a laptop plugged in, or SD card data logging. Like a glove...😁 Happened to see the Alipne sub on offer, so.... Turns out, Alpines 10", are bigger than Kenwoods, so needed to enlarge the holes, but a power file made short work. With the front speakers installed, speaker cables run up the passenger side (running all power up the drivers side, try a reduce interference), and checked for heater duct clearance. With a 1600w 4 channel amp for the speakers ,and the 1200w mono amp for the sub, it actually doesn't sound too bad!! With a plastic welder in my mits, a cracked Lin Bin, replaced the milk carton stopper, as a more permanent fixture, figuring with the Scottish weather, it'll be mostly used for blowing hot air, to demist the car in the summer, when it's raining... Bit of a lick of paint, and you'd never know 🫣
  10. Oh no!! Hope you find something else, with a starting date, the day after you've been paid off and got the payment in the bank🀞 Looks like that's a fused spur, basically an inline fuse? Presumably a loose wire, or has someone put a nail in there, instead of a fuse?...😬
  11. Probably nothing noticeable tbh, especially not, if you're using Nimh. Going off your link, it looks the same as a 15t HPI Firebolt /Corerc 15t? I've run a 15t firebolt on 3s with a 1060 in my Novafox, and hit 41mph.
  12. The esc doesn't know what the turns are, just the current (Amps) the motor is pulling. If the motor isn't pulling the amps, it'll run, it'll help the lunchbox is low geared. Start asking it to run the 15t Reedy Pink Dot, and it might be a different story...
  13. A club by me speced similar motors, but after some discussions, went for a 21t Corerc motor (I voted the 15t, but...πŸ™„). They're similar in specs (21t - 17123rpm /285, and the 15t - 23095rpm / 295 ), have a built in fan , but half the price (under a tenner!)
  14. What size is the screw? Can it be swapped for a cap screw, and use an Allen driver?
