Nobbi1977's Cars

[Nobbi1977]

Hi

If no one minds I am going to try and put all my activity in to one thread rather than different build threads. I seem to have too much going on at one time and keep doing a little bit on each car randomly.

 

[Nobbi1977]

Someone here posted about how rubbish the new eBay search was. I tried it and ended up with a DT-03 on my doorstep.

u

new built with bearings posted for £30. Built well but the sprus are not well cut.

A quick look in the spares box and I find

can you see where this going?

I have the wheels kicking about so monster DT-03. I know there are fears about over heating the box on these with big wheels but I will give it a go.

Servo from the cupboard 

Super glue on the servo saver

Found these in the box

So here we go

Time to pick a body

I think we have a winner

[XV Pilot]

Looks good so far! Do the body holes fit the Aqroshot post locations?

Front are in line but not underneath. Rear are a mile out

[Thommo]

Cool !  You can always run a 35t CR Tuned motor.  They are still fast enough to blast around with big wheels and either pinion (17t / 19t) and decent run times compared to a silver can.  We tried it with a friends Acroshot with the big chunky truck Dirt Hawgs.  Makes an awesome gravel basher !

[Nobbi1977]

I wil try a silvercan and see how hot it gets. I cannot find a mod 08 pinion in 15t to fit with a modified plate

[JoFan]

Love it! Always been a fan of the stadium blitzer shell. I've considered this exact thing with the matching wheels from the blitzer. 

[Nobbi1977]

I have blitzer wheels on my other DT-03 so I could swap them for a look

[JoFan]

That would be cool. May have another project, like I need one. 

[Nobbi1977]

So motor time

Silvercan, Torque tuned or maybe Sport tuned on the stock ESC.

10.5 brushless on stock ESC

4000kv waterproof setup

23t cheap motor from Japan on a 1060 

 

I do have a random 3s soft pack that would be well protected in this chassis so I could run silvercans to death on that and a 1060

 

 

What do people think? Need to use up what is in stock rather than buy new.

 

Anyone know of a 15t steel mod 08 pinion?

Good call. I have not seen them listed anywhere else.

Need to see if it runs hot as it is first, if so I will make an adaptor plate 

[Nobbi1977]

Shell trimmed

not a bad fit. Well base is a lot longer than original but it does not look to out of place.

Will run with a torque tuned and heat sink for now and see how it runs

 

Shell mounting points are not very close but I did find this lump in my box that lines almost exactly with the rear body holes. It is made of chinesium so is not as heavy as it looks.

Sorry box polishers, this has been sat in the window for ages and I thought I should build it before my wife gets very fed up of it being there.

The body is being used on another project so I have no idea what to do with this chassis yet.

First things first. Lob the motor in the motor box with the others and dig out the bearings.

There is not a lot of grease in here, which is a good thing. I am sure the old white geared boxes were stuffed with to much grease.

 

Enough done for tonight 

 

Not sure how or why I got two machine screw sets to build this with. I am not using them anyway...

Result of another quick session

 

will be on its wheels in no time, if I had any idea which ones to fit that is.

I have a couple of sets of CR01 wheels with WR-01 tyres so they would work, but what body?

 

[Nobbi1977]

Wheel not a good match but I have two sets of WWII ones I can rob the rears from if needed.

What body though?

Needs to be short and cheap

 

 

[GooneyBird]

What wheelbase is that? I'm thinking an M-chassis body might work....

[Nobbi1977]

I might have to get the tape out and find out.

Need something crazy for this one I think.

[zomboided]

Something JennyMo comedy.  Mega short Clod or Blackfoot?  Or were you thinking of much less work

It is stealing from one of my ideas for a project but...it is short, cheap and crazy on that chassis / wheels.

Coming in at 210mm wheelbase, the Kamtec Morris Minor van in ABS.

[Nobbi1977]

I might have a look through the Kamtec listings

[Pablo68]

So have you run that DT-03 yet? I'd be interested to know how it went set up like that.

Not yet, the weather here has been terrible so I have not got the body painted.

[Nobbi1977]

Sorry, long time and no updates. I have been biking and diving so time has been limited.

Daughter is coming up 5 this week and her car is a bit slow on a 50t so I thought I would swap some parts around and give her something else to play with.

Well I ran it in the garden for a test on a 2s and as well as being quite fast and uncontrollable it thermod out in 5 min and the motor was to hot to touch.

plan B

check it is running 17tpinion

add fan to ESC

put in silvercan

 

Motor still getting very hot but ESC seems to be coping. Not sure it is the right car for her though. 

Might have to find a body and let her have the WR-02
