Gotta love uk weather, too keen to get on it cold tyres caught you out lol god dam kerbs , got lucky, all depends how hit them I’ve hit them slow caused damage, last hit was ripping got away with it, give me a little bit more confidence in the adu hinge pin holders that hit
Yes, the rig was accelerating. There's a moment where the truck was heading to the left. The wheels were off centre. The very slight correction whilst giving it the Beanz resulted in the slide.Gotta love uk weather, too keen to get on it cold tyres caught you out lol god dam kerbs , got lucky, all depends how hit them I’ve hit them slow caused damage, last hit was ripping got away with it, give me a little bit more confidence in the adu hinge pin holders that hit
I have wondered if my 'countering the slide' actually helped take the truck at 90° into the concrete...
I hope I get points for reflexes!
There’s nothing worse than the sound of an rc scraping down the road I hate it, it’s like finger nails down a chalk board for meYes, the rig was accelerating. There's a moment where the truck was heading to the left. The wheels were off centre. The very slight correction whilst giving it the Beanz resulted in the slide.
My corrective action in response to the slide once it started occurred within a tiny fraction of a second, but it wasn't recoverable - not at 60mph!!.
I particularly like the debris flying up into the air!
I can only imagine how you felt with it being handmade carbon chassis 
…
My immediate thought was - well that's torn it then!There’s nothing worse than the sound of an rc scraping down the road I hate it, it’s like finger nails down a chalk board for me
Is YouTube the only way to upload vid clips on this forum?My immediate thought was - well that's torn it then!
I was delighted when I found it to be intact. Even the camera survived. That mount is basically a reusable gummy based thing, which sticks to any smooth surface.
Normally, the camera would have been 25 yards away in the weeds!
Basically - I lucked out.

My phone definitely not 4K lol need to get a GoPro or something but I tried to put couple clips up before couldnt find a way to do it. Maybe have to create an account on YouTube if it only wayRealistically, I don't think you can share mahoosive 4k video files any other way.

Apparently all that carbon fiber makes a pretty tough truck!
I’ve been looking at the fastrax supaforza belted tire of the ftx supaforza gt decent price , was considering them for buggy but if wanted to lower the lcg even more save some more weight
maybe & gear it up
That’s a substantial weight. I was looking at the website to see if they are belted (yes) and saw they weigh 452 gram. You lost 11 gram after the crash!
I've seen the Louise MT tyres - they would save about 300g of rotating mass! But: there are those that say that they aren't straight/mounted right.That’s a substantial weight. I was looking at the website to see if they are belted (yes) and saw they weigh 452 gram. You lost 11 gram after the crash!
I really like the look of those Jetko’s, but also like the look of the new Louise 1/8 MT tires. Also belted and 370g each; a bit smaller than those Jetko’s though.

Those mt look great if anything, I’d buy them for that reason aloneToday I prepared the rig with new input HD (spring steel) drives, and HD rear axles.
View attachment 7099
The front input is the one on the left - but it's been replaced once already. The one on the right is the rear and has significant wear.
View attachment 7100
These are the rear axles. They've been run since December 2021 and show virtually no wear! Given the stocker's wear rate, the HD items may last forever
View attachment 7101
These diff output drives are waiting to go in, but the existing ones are so healthy, I'm going to wait.
Tyres. Well the thing is, when you Hoon around and slide at 60mph - this happens:
View attachment 7102
Flat spots.
View attachment 7103
And scars like this.
So I'm going to try the Louise 3.8 MFT Rocket Speed tyres.
At the speeds I'm looking at (for now at least), sub 100mph, I'm hoping the MFT system is strong enough.
I'm also hoping they're round and not mounted on the wonk as some people have complained. If they achieve that - 300 grams less rotating mass seems too good to miss.
So Sandracer - should I pull the trigger on 4 of these:
View attachment 7104
Seems like an option I have to try. If they're wonky - they can go back. Reading the stuff on Louise website, they seem to claim a process that eliminates this from ever happening.

. Interested in what you think of them; like I said they look great and quite some weight savings compared to the Jetko’s (which also look great BTW).
The Louise tyres are on their way in the 'Speed' version (soft compound), mounted (not beadlock).Yes, buy those new Louise tires
Ehm, as for those input cups. For setting a new speedrecord, you want everything top notch, but for bashing those are hardly worn. If you swap front and rear the current wear is on the other side ( reverse power side), so they will basically be new. Keep them as spares for bashing.
Those HD ones should be a lot tougher.
We have a Arrmaforum bashday today, the Kagama will have its’s maiden run. Like with the Muraco it was an impulse buy and haven’t been able to go through diffs etc.
RC OCD!
Done!
On the 145mm tyres, the rollout changes from 52.66mm/rev - to 50.90mm/rev, which on 22v gives me a predicted top speed of 74.9 mph using my 1780kv motor. If I wanted to risk it, I could try the Kuron 825 on the same gearing and it could theoretically hit 92.68 mph. Or catch fire - you decide!
Video to follow very soon. This rig is wild.
Hopefully get mine going soon, lot other poop going on held it up, but waiting on more bits to arrive aLao, upgraded agfrc servo horn is one of them, you can have my originalThe next installment will be uploaded soon.

AGF servo horn = destroyed.
In the video, you will see how I 'drive around the issue' - until there is no more steering.
It turns out that Torque steer is a thing. Glad it's on camera.
. But this came today,hitting upgraded hinge pin holders so going to have to fettle it a little bit. Battery tray, servo springs & new wing still to arrive.
I always throw those servo horns away, that you have to adjust with those little hex1.5 screws. I had stripping servo teeth once using that servo horn, and never again had that using a one piece servo horn.The next installment will be uploaded soon.
