StrokerBoy 772 Posted November 21, 2017 Didn't know about this book until I read about it on here yesterday. Ordered one straight away from Tony's Tamiya Parts, arrived just now, top service as usual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7881 Posted November 21, 2017 My 10mm wide hexes arrived today so I fitted the long hubs and the hexes to my DT03 rear end to even out the track width front to rear with the truck wheels on. Still not quite the same as the front, but much better. Also got some cool custom MCI decals for a bit of a Grasshopper2 body idea I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter_B 997 Posted November 22, 2017 Some reinforced wheel axles to replace the broken one on my Aqroshot. And the parts to build a pair of front shocks for my Boomerang thanks to @Tamiyabigstuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted November 22, 2017 A Orange RX receiver which is compatible with Futaba. Fingers crossed it works ok. This will allow me to have all 10 cars running off 6 tx's The Monster Beetle arrived as well so that is hidden away before my son gets home. That was my wife's doing, I would have shown him the kit and let him play with the tyres. The tyres are cool. I'm a bit worried about the Futaba 3PV though, RCMart was showing 1 in stock when I ordered and it stayed that way for a day. Now they are showing as out of stock and my order is still processing. I'm hoping its because I got the last one (this happened when I bought the TRF102 from RCJaz) and not that their stock levels were wrong (which happened with I bought the TA07 from Hobbyking).

Its this one https://www.rcnz.co.nz/categories/receivers-and-modules/24-channel-receivers/orangerx-gr400s-futaba-fhss-and-s-fhss-4ch-2-4g-receiver/ Also available from Hobbyking for a bit less (but shipping, currency conversion etc and I can call Ross at RCNZ if I have any problems). It lists the 3PRKA which I have, but I will also be trying it on the 3PV and 2HR which aren't listed as if it works on all (don't see why it won't) then I will buy those for bashers and only spend the extra on Futaba ones for racers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That does look a bit better, but you are fighting two sources of unequal track width. Not only are the front and rear wheels of different offsets - the GPM C-hubs also push the front wheels outwards relative to the stock plastic items. You'd need very long axles indeed to accommodate both of these issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd need very long axles indeed to accommodate both of these issues. Didn't realise that as the track widths look fairly balanced with the buggy wheels on it. Still, wasn't hoping to completely even it out, just move the rear out a big to give it a bit more roll support. Gave it run out at lunch time. Hasn't done anything odd to the handling, bit hard to notice the difference. Defintely need some new rear tyres though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, the Blitzer wheels are the main culprits. On my DT-03T I found that the longer rear axles and 10mm hexes were enough to cancel out the extra width imparted by the GPM C-hubs, but not the unequal wheel offset. It probably bothered me more than it should have, but a set of Mad Bull wheels with equal front and rear offset lined everything up nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maelstrom 439 Posted November 22, 2017 This arrived today a DF03 MS that, to me, looks absolutely amazing! I am used to Frogs, Strikers, DT02s and such, my most modern 4wd buggy is a dirt thrasher. There are loads of things in this buggy that are new to me such as my first ball differentials and a slipper clutch and tons of hop ups included. As a bonus, it came with the box, original manual and some spares. And all this for less than what the shocks would cost new! A question to the experts, what would be a good motor for this one? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
