Rb4276 803 Posted May 13, 2017 Replaced the broken gear case for the 3rd time in 3 months on my dt03t. Changed the rear shock oil on my dn-01 to 50 weight because with 40 it was bottoming out. I also changed the pinion from 25t to 27t 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheels/tyres were off Ebay, can't remember the seller - they're hard plastic 'tyres' for drifting. Proper 935 wheels/tyres might be better. Put M03 rear uprights on the custom M06. Thanks again for providing the part number and inspiration. I installed this right-way-round and lost several degrees of tow in- which is exactly what this car needed. The 'sidewinder' path slow speed crawling is gone. And it's less touchy on brakes. This was really important because of the 34mm wide wheels with 14mm offset, on a standard M06 this would be no issue. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blista 1519 Posted May 14, 2017 Figured I'd finish painting the Subaru XV shell today. Sprayed the first coat and then realised I'd forgotten to tidy up the black paint I did yesterday. Whoops, too late now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frog Jumper 3661 Posted May 14, 2017 It was nice and we had some time... Got the batteries charged. Did a little driving and figured out I do indeed need to glue my tires to my wheels. That's something I didn't really want to have to do. Sucks... Also rolled the Bushy D in the backyard and cracked the lexan shell. Sucks... Then I watched my son crash the Bushy D into our mini-van and break the front body mount. Sucks... And then I watched him thrash his Grasshopper until he managed to crank the Transmitter too hard and break the steering wheel... Now the wheel just flops around and constantly wants to turn right. Sucks... It was not a good day for driving, but it was fun watching my son thrash his Hopper all over the street. He had a blast for about 20 minutes until "snap" - he went a little too wild while trying to turn right and over-did it. Thank goodness the Tx was a freebie. But now we won't be driving until next pay-day. Sucks... Terry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason1145 3986 Posted May 14, 2017 That sounds like a tough day Terry... how strong is your son to break a steerwheel?! He must've got crazy excited lol! Good thing new radio sets aren't too expensive these days compared to a few years ago, I just got another Austar 2.4Ghz set for £18 ( about $23). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy pants 4485 Posted May 14, 2017 I swapped the split wheel rim over on my SWB M38 Wild Willy and tested the msc and motor. My daughter got our cheap R/C helicopter stuck in a tree some weeks ago and it was blown down in the wind yesterday. So it's a bit sorry looking but saveable, the battery held a charge this morning and the everything seems to run, I just need to find a new tail rotor blade and we can get it back out there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dojo Dave 889 Posted May 14, 2017 Started to make choices on what to keep and what to sell. I'm at 34 cars and need to get down to 25 again. I see deals and buy instead of seeing cars I want to buy.

Maelstrom 439 Posted May 14, 2017 Went for a buggy run with my lads and used a lipo battery for the very first time in my DT-02. The difference in speed to NimH was AMAZING. Hobbywing 1060 ESC, Carson Cup motor and a 2S Turnigy lipo. Massive speed and runtime. Why didn't I swich earlier? Oh yeah, I'm scared of burning my house down 😕 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
