Hi Thanks
Will try and get the wife to do some .
I'm also the race Organiser/Director.Can imagine how much running around it is.Try to get 3 heats and 3 mains in on one saterday afternoon,From 13h00 to 17h00.
We don't have big numbers maybe 5 to 6 1/8th, 15 monster trucks and about 5 truggies small club but getting there.
Can't hope for to much as the whole country only has about 2 million People.

Firebird.......

He is talking about the Hinge Pins in THIS picture, (see Red arrows pointing to C-clips).

I BELIEVE they are Captured on the RXB, but I will find out for SURE and Post it........

P.S. ...Thats a Rancho Picture (I dont Have an RXB ......YET!)

ehroof

they are captured on the rxb

firebird78

yeah I know what yall mean now...I cuss them e-clips on my other buggies..and no my rxb-1 doesnt have em

firebird78

ok fellers...took my rxb-1 to the lil bmx track I run on today...and am quite pleased...buggy handles good and it took the abuse....no broken parts..got it in the air about 4 ft an it flew pretty level (although I did do my normal cartwheels and end over end flips)...I got it setting as low as it goes and it did bottom out pretty hard a few times...I have some diff fluid for it 1000 fer the front 7000 for the center and 5000 for the rear...will have some 45wt and 55wt shock oil and a couple upgrades for it this coming week..oh and some new tires as the the ones that are on it are no the designated pavement tires..lol should be a nice setup fer some fun next weekend

Yes I will. At this time I race the RXT-1 truggy. If your in the market for a buggy check the RXB-1 out. Belive it or not they are very similar to a Mugen.

I been looking at the rxb-1 pro pics...Eddie you may check into this...it appears to me it has all the billet goodies on it..the milled chassis (dont know the grade of it but I think its a totally diff chassis). all cv shaft and all the carbon fiber goodies... if the buggy in the pic is what you get it has all the hop-ups

ehroof

it does bro, just no engine or radio equipment.

I really like the look of this buggy and for the price looks like one of the best you can get for that price, way better than like a hyper 7 or something. Are there any issues at all with the RXB-1 that need to be addressed as far as racing and stuff to look out for?

firebird78

Chris..if you want any close up pics of anything let me know, I'll try to hook you up the best I can...ive beat on mine some and so far zero issues....seems to be a solid buggy

vnmsgt

I am curious if the motor is moved forward on the chassis or if it is still towards the rear close the the rear diff cases. Anybody got pics of the KIT one? or is it called something else, the one with no motor or electronics.

firebird78

its the rxb-1 pro....I got the rtr

vnmsgt

I am sure the motor is in the same spot

firebird78

kinda blurry but will this work fer ya?

vnmsgt

Cool thanks. Do the wheels say team cobra racing? I see that brand alot at RCTech. Supposed to be pretty good. It does look alot better than a hurricane.

firebird78

it handles way better...yeah the are team cobra...the tires are soft compound...dont fair to well on pavement (grip well but wear fast) but seem to do well on dirt...lil narrower then the proline step ups that are on the buggy I got from you

{GBI}Harryball

There are really no issues when it comes to racing, just the standard, electronics and servos. It looks alot like the Mugen I mean alot. The clutch bell has been fixed, so the long clutch bell is gone like on the monsoon. If your thinking about one, I think it would give your casters a run.

Back from the dead, I finally had the time today to put the RXB-1 back together. New lower control arms, new hinge pins, new universals, new shock mount, new hinge pin holders and a new Nomadio radio system. Most of you know what happened, but if you do not, my reciever failed and it took off down the street hitting a curb at full speed then hitting a parked car. Himoto racing USA and Himoto racing stood behind there product. They asked for pictures of the damage, and wanted the radio back. That was it. They then sent a radio system and all the parts that were damaged. In the RC business, this is un-heard of. I thought i would share that with you. Here is the pic of it back together.

glad ya got it back together bro

It does look like a very well built buggy. I think I am going to try the Truggy first though. I will defintely keep this in mind. I might start selling them (only this buggy and the truggy, none others) is why I am interested in seeing them in person.

firebird78

cv shafts came yesterday (woohoo no more dogbones..lol)...along with some new tires...not sure what im going to do for an engine quite yet...would have loved to see how the 3 port go was going to run with a couple gallons through it...but could use the money I'd spend rubuilding it on a 5 port or 7 port...cant decide which to get....might add some other goodies like some carbon fiber and some billet aluim...

firebird78

new engine on the way....I just got another go .21 sport for now...hopefully the piston wont explode on this one
