Nice pics, where do you get those hose clamps? Looks like a good idea.

qaiz

Have a bunch of them. Use them for my plane.

Go to any hobby store that deals with planes. Should have them, and they cost virtually nothing.

Great way of preventing leaks from the fuel lines..

Hey qaiz wash that thing j/k I think I'll stick with the jpx till it dies( we have a four hour endurance race this month) Maybe after that I'll change it out.

qaiz

LOL thats exactly what I did.!

4 hour endurance, I wanna join.! [&o]

Some before and after pics



















Love this 1 peice engine mount.! So much easier to pull the engine.!















Skid's taken a beating too







Cleant up her real good .

It looks easy to clean, come on over it's on the 23rd of this month I was wondering do you have any issues stalling out when it's flipped upside down? My X1 would stall out pretty quick so I put a 8t tank on it with the "clunk" and it would run upside down for the whole tank if needed.

qaiz

I wish.

Id love to do an endurance race locally. It'd really test the cars and the engines here.

Well anyway.

Checked the rear diff today.

Still looks new after a few gallons, just needed a top up.

qaiz

Nope. No issues when its upside down..

Its been upside down for 3 - 4 mins at a time and hasnt stalled on me.

J24gordon

Sweet that's good to know thanks!!!!!!

qaiz

No worries.

Dont think I posted this pic in this thread.

Ohhh nie pic. I hope this is the car that y LHS is going to trade m other car for.

qaiz

Which car are you trading.?

I heavily doubt anyone will trade anything for a NIB Jammin X2. You'd be better off finding out what you actually are getting.

Thats just my $0.02 tho.

Why did you have some rust on your truggy ? Your X-2 is new You clean it with which products ?

qaiz

The sand that we run on contains enormous amounts of Salt. It happens.

I use Simple Green and an air compressor if its not too bad, if its completely covered with dirt, ill wash her down.

You think mine is bad, hit the buggy forums and check out some of the cars there from my side of the world.

I generally keep all my trucks in the best condition I can. That rust is barely anything .

benoit_desnoyers

Your truggy look very good

Wednesday, i have to go to my hobby shop to buy servos for the X2... i have decided to change my 2x Futaba S3005

What's is the best servos to go in Futaba or Hitec ? Digital or standard servo ? What is the advantage of digital (because is cost most $$$) ?

Thanks !

qaiz

Thanks

I cant comment on Futaba or Hitec Servos, ive not had very good experiences with them, I stick to JR.

But I know Hitec is replacing their 59xx series with their new 79xx series, if your looking for Hitec. So you should be able to get the 59xx's for cheap...

As for futaba, I have no clue, sorry.

Between Digital and Standard, id' go digital everytime. The response is quicker, the accuracy is greater, and if im correct, digitals have more torque. I look at servos as a one time expense, Id say go digital.. Dont forget the radio, what radio are you using.

With digitals you gotta make sure that you set your endpoints correctely so you do not burn up the servo.

Id say get a nice set and be done with it. Take a look at AE servos too, ive used them a few times, and I quite liked them.

Id say something with atleast 250oz for steering and 150oz for throttle/brake.

Im using one with 403oz ( JR DS8711 ) for steering, and it is pure overkill.

J24gordon

Holy cow 403 oz's that's just sick!!!!!!!!!! I did replace 1 of my ace servo's, the wire didn't look that good, I went with a Hi-tec 7955TG it has 333.29 oz and a .15 sec @ 6v. I should have the body painted today I'll post pics when I'm done.

benoit_desnoyers

I use a Nomadio React for controller. What is the best setting i have to use on it ?

NewKid

My Feedback: (1)

id say you'd have to play with the settings during practice with your servo's to get the proper fell imo... I run dual 59xx series servos 666 oz total baby lol i love these servos have been running them for well over a year and they just keep on ticking i know a year isn't long but i've only been racing a 2 so for the majority of my nitro racing career my servos have lasted me. I've got some blown air's i need to send in but i don't think i'll ever use them

qaiz

Play with the settings, thats the only way to find its sweet spot. It took me hours of tweaking my settings to get where im at. Was well worth it .

Just straight away, S E T Y O U R E N D P O I N T S C O R R E C T L E Y . !

Ive seen so many people blow good servos because their endpoints were not done.
Its like 10 mins of work, but will save your servos when your' driving.

J24gordon

Here's my body, my first one i ever painted what do you think?
