I said if you want to see me longer occupied with a kit I need a truck. Let's see what happens. 😉 Wives annoyed that their husband finishing too quickly? 🤣 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks brilliant. 👍 I am actually tempted to get a scorcher body for my CEN HL150 monster truck 🤔🤔 Thanks, James. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zealot 397 Posted January 1, 2022 2 hours ago, Willy iine said: Before I tried x-rings long time ago, I made these circular shims out of transparencies with holes punched out in the middle. My wife is a crafty person (Mac's auto-correct changed to 'crazy person' wahaha!) and she has various sized hole punchers and there was one that was pretty much exact to the damper shaft diameter. I sandwiched a sheet between the 2 o-rings and it gave enough compression to stop the leaking.. Going to the old man's house for a few days so I'll have the opportunity to turn some up from nylon. The stock spacer is 2.0mm so I'm thinking to make replacements for those at 2.2mm and see how that goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buying from the East for some "exotic" kits. Sounds exciting! I’ve got lots of builds too get too but haven’t had a chance. Currently on holiday in Fiji so shouldn’t complain! But I’ve just booked another week of holiday so I can get building when I get back I hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simalarion 2196 Posted January 1, 2022 The reason for motors to sudenly get hot as mentioned earlier was loose pinions (first i tought it was to much spinning in loose snow). One motor did not have a pinion screw when i opened it, so 1 engine spinning free on 3s it miracle its still alive after 2 sesions outside(?). Also a lot off Grey metals on gears so i added new gears and new Steel pinions and Agrios got s lot more punch back when done ofc(was afraid it lost some punch because off bigger Tyres), so either way i got to install the new Pinions i had ready: Suddenly a full stop outdide today: Parts i replaced today: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikko85 3454 Posted January 1, 2022 My WPL D12 arrived. The plan is to shorten the wheelbase from 191 mm to 176 mm so it fits the Ford F100 body taken from a Radio Shack QD pumpkin copy. I want to make a semi realistic stanced vintage truck. The fact it's got a forward motor and leaf suspension should help. This leaves me a spare D12 body... ..and what do you know? It will fit almost perfectly on a QD chassis, giving me a spare shell for the QD. Love the look, brings back some of the fun of the heavy dump and looks a little like a lunchbox but unique too. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rally! 150 Posted January 1, 2022 After decades away, I've very recently bought the TT-02 Audi Quattro. I love RC Rally cars. Today, I tried to work on the steering and ride height. Next is mounting the servo and electronics This is the progress so far. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
