  1. Hi guys ! I have a lunchy fitted with a 2s lipo (4000mAh), hobbywing 860 esc and a sport tuned motor. I was wondering if going brushless would give me better runtime and top speed ? I was looking at this package here, but I know nothing about brushless. Would that be a good upgrade ? https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=DYMS1450

  3. Okay, thanks for all your tips, much appreciated !
  4. you should see the second wheel, it's way worse, the center of the wheel is basically gone. I ran it like 3-4 times this winter on my concrete patio, nothing extreme because it's uncontrollable in the snow. I did have to retighten the wheel nuts a few times, maybe the wheels got loose and that stressed the plastic ? the wheel adapters look good otherwise. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the yellow ones in the mail...I'll definitely add lock tite to the nuts to be sure they don,'t loosen.
  5. I can't upload the second pic, it says max 4.88 mb. Anyway you can see cracks that start from the hub and spreads all the way to the outer edge of the rim
  6. okay here are both rear wheels, they cracked near the hubs. They're from the black edition LB
  7. So I bought this new lunchbox this winter and after 6-7 rides outside on the lawn, both rear wheels cracked and are now unusable. I find tamiya parts quite hard to find and out of stock most of the time in Canada and shipping is usually crazy expensive so besides changing wheels each 2-3 months, is there something better to use ? I found some aluminum ones on ebay but it's like 200$. I don't understand, the thing runs on 2s lipo but it's not crazy fast and besides a few 12" high jumps on grass, I don't think I abuse the thing... if you have any tips let me know !
  8. Hi guys ! If I want to change the stock motor on a lunchbox for a sport tuned, do I need a new pinion or any other parts or is it a direct replacement ? Thanks !
  9. do you guys have a part number ? They seem discontinued
  10. those wheels are perfect ! thanks !
  11. I saw a picture of a lunchbox with painted wheels and was wondering what would be the best way to paint them so they do not get ruined after 5 minutes of running. My wheels are black so I guess I'd need a primer ? Which one do you suggest ? As for the paint, would I be better off using tamiya ps paint ? Looking to get some gold wheels like this : 41AF287F-78A1-45E1-BC25-2FC0219FDA25.webp
  12. so everything should be okay then ? The charger put it back in storage with no issues
  13. Hi guys ! First timer here, just got a lunchbox with a 2s lipo and a hobbywing 1060 esc. I made sure to put the jumper in the right place on the esc but when I put my battery in storage today I noticed that the 2 voltage readings on the charger were showing 2.7V. Isn't the esc supposed to cut the power when the cells get below 3.x volt ? I'm assuming the car will just stop in it's track right ? The charger is a rdx mini if it's of any help. Thanks for your help !
  14. couldn't I just buy an oval lipo ? Do they even exist ?
  15. all right, thanks for the info. Now I just need to wait, every rc stores in canada are out of stock of clodbusters and lunchbox...the pandemic must have messed up the inventory
