Revotrx3

i would say somthing but, i won't. bye

MaxxOrange

What something about me?

Krawlin

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE STOP IT EVERYONE!!

Now go on about the thread, talking about RC only!

MaxxOrange

Alright!

Krawlin

Should be getting my new steel idler gears for my E-Maxx tomorrow! Now the only thing left to strip out is the spur gear!


ALSO!!!

Trading my RC18B for a set of 4 front 1/8 nitro buggy shocks! These 4 shocks will be going on my E-Maxx! They are beefier, stronger, smoother, threaded body, and look alot better! They are also 1/2 inch longer so the truck will sit higher for better bashing ability!

um, i can get some soon. It looks about the same as last time now lol i am waiting on parts from tower and tomorrow im getting some more tires so i will take some tomorrow. With any luck i will get my tower shipment, 3s lipo, and all the lhs stuff and i can assemble and take pics and bash. (but thats on a good day and that will never happen around here [&o])

MaxxOrange, there just is no way i can do it. I might try after i drink a couple drinks so that i dont know what im doing But im pretty sure that i cant do it. I might however try a huge house lol, my friends house is huge and it has a huge run up. I could get to top speed before i hit the ramp. It is half in grass and half not but the grass is short so i could do it. And there is a drop off in the back so you are falling even farther than going up lol thats insane. Its about a 80-100 foot jump though. I think its possible if i can get up to about 50 and hit it haha [8D]

Im pretty sure you know this already but a little trick on setting the ride hight is to use calipers (if you have some) much more precise. Thats what i use with my 18t.

Krawlin

Yeah, I use calipers on any threaded shock bodies, because I can never get them all close to the same otherwise.

moving on! here are some new pictures of the stampede/raze. the stampede was recently put back together, along with the raze. the raze just got a new pinion, wire extensions, and i rebuilt some stuff on it.

fusebmx13

I will have an update tomorrow on the 18t. I took all the stickers off the body accept for the head lights and other stuff. It looks way better now. I just hope my lhs has the wing

Revotrx3

just a question? did you solder them together? or just set them on top of each other and heatwraped em?

Always Dreamin

They are soldered together. I had a hell of a time getting the shrink wrap on. Know of a better way?

fusebmx13

use a heat gun or lighter. I use a heat gun.

j.m.

if it's thin enough, you can just hold your soldering iron next to the heat shrink, and it will shrivel right up.

Ad you better clean my car
its never been THAT dirty..

warheadforever

LOL, I don't know why people don't clean there stuff. I clean my suff ever time I run. This way it all looks brand new.

Krawlin

Yeah, uh...... I am guilty, I rarely clean my RC's unless I drive them through mud...... I just leave them dirty, IMO they can look The 1/8 nitro buggy is the only RC I clean after every couple races/uses.

fusebmx13

I dont clean my truck cause its not made to be clean. Its made to drive. If it doesnt drive i clean it. simple as that. When mine get dirty anyways i just drive a couple packs in my yard and on road and it flies off lol.

I got a ton of rc18t parts today. I got some new tires and stuff. It runs now, runs nice. Now i just need the lipo. I will get some pics tonight or tomorrow.

fusebmx13

Here are the pics.












I hope these arent to big. lol we will find out.

Always Dreamin

i run it hard. i don't clean my cars that often. even my stampede doesn't get cleaned that much. today i took it to the track with my friends jato 3.3 and i smoked him with 12 cells. he was sliding all over and i just punched the throttle and before he knew it i was going around him again. if it makes you feel better, i cleaned it after i got back from the track. it looks good now.
