Just a little driving and lite bashing from yesterday. Was going pretty good until
I thought my gears went out. Got it home and saw a rock was wedged
in between two gears...Replaced one gear and it's ready to go again...:D

Nice video editing mate and some very controlled driving too.....makes a change to not seeing flat out full throttle everywhere.
 
Thanks....

Full throttle is fun but so is climbing and watching the suspension do it's job..:)
 
Looks like you had some good fun!!!

I also like you video editing...(the intro and title..etc) Very well done!

You'll love it...which Rampage did you buy?

Just make sure you go through the pre-run checklist before you fire it up.
Don't want your fun to end early because of something silly like a screw that
was not tightened with Lok-Tite. :)

Not weird at all my friend...:D

I would've stayed out there longer but a rock got jammed in one of my gears
and ended my day early...That's with the gear cover on, don't know how
some guys run without it and not shred them?

I bought the MT Pro :cool2:

I've fitted a HPI air filter and dual redneck which has caused throttle linkage issues - so had to make my own up but the throttle isn't quite as smooth as i would like so need to work on this a little more.

I've bought a set of 4 Mootilizer diff cups too, as he's over in the uk tomorrow visting family he's kindly going to post them to me from uk - he's a good un :)
So will get them fitted and put some 50,000 wt oil in the diffs

I need to upgrade the steering servo's too but may have to wait till next pay packet for that - luckily i had a Hi-Tec ultra torque in my spares box that i shoved in as the throttle servo.

Shell has being sent off for air brushing should be back in a week - gone the an STP oil treatment theme - also going to get onto sickboy about a bug shell as all 6 of my rc's i've managed to get a beetle shell on :clown:
yes ............. yes, i admit it im a vudub holic and need help :clown::clown:
 
I have your cups in my suitcase:)...
just a heads up mini...the stock steering servo may last a gallon or 5mins...it's a crap shoot with those GWS servos and all sound like there's rocks inside them...
also the stock shells crack when you sneeze on them...if you're spending money on a paint job then buy some of the drywall fibreglass joint tape and a tube or 2 of goop, shoogoo, autogoop (not sure if it's in UK under those names) and reinforce the shell on the inside with a couple of layers of tape and plenty of goop...stuff works awesome, without it first roll over and your shell will break..I guarantee it:no:
 
When you do apply the tape and goop, do it really really really well around any curves. I missed a couple and where I missed, it cracked.
 
We get shoegoo over here, im unsure what sort of tape you guys mean :huh:

Will duck tape work, as that has fibre thingy's running through it :laugh:

I persume you slap goo onto the inside of the shell then tape over the top of it :rolleyes:

Thanks for all the heads up, minxy a grateful lassy :)
 
Looks kinda like this:

I just cut strips, stuck it down and then slathered the goo all over it. I'm sure any hardware store would have it.

Not seen anything like that in the hardware stores over here but an automotive shop may do it ................ minxy will go and search :laugh:
 
Hey Moo,

Yep the cups arrived safely thank you :) - once all the decorating is done in the house i'll be fitting them and giving them a good bashing.

I hope you enjoyed your trip to uk and germany - thank you so much again
