I seriously did not think I was going to get one of these in Australia!
I love my kagama 6s now I get an even better one!
AND it means my son gets an instant upgrade from his kagama 4s to my 'old' kagama 6s!
It's going to be a great weekend!

I got a mean green machine too!!...pics coming soon! Sorry starting a business has kept me from playing with my big boy toys 🙃 anyone else get there's yet?? I haven't even opened the box 😕 I've been so busy...even the wife was like " are you ok?"
I replied "yes...why?" Wife says "well you ordered this expensive ""TOY"" and haven't even opened the box yet but when you ordered the Kagama XP months ago you took off 2 days to play with it..." my reply was " so its ok if I take a week off now and play with my truck!?!?!?!"..... she said " Ummm no".... so gotta listen to the big boss... sometimes... tehe. 😮‍💨
 
It should be here today!
I would love to have the day off work to wait for it.
But going to work will make the time pass quicker.
 
So much fun!
It was raining when I got home from work.
But we still took them out kagama v kagama LE!
So much fun in the wet!
I'm going to suck at doing YouTube.
Everytime after I've been out I'm like, Dam wish I recorded that!

Meanwhile I spend the evening fixing my kraton.
Again.

Here's what you need! DJI Action Cam! 👌

Plus a good laptop and decent external SSD hard drive big enough for some heavy lifting.

I already had a decent laptop, so I invested in about £300 worth of camera kit. I'm very glad that I did.

Editing videos is fairly intuitive if you use decent software.

I 100% recommend VideoProc Vlogger. It's free, handles 4k, doesn't put a horrible water mark in the video and apparently is all open source. It allows for separation of tracks, allows popular slow mo profiles, transitions, fades, titles, credits - it's great.

I used it for this Savage revival video:


Imagine some onboard shots of your LE ripping around! 😎👌

Very very cool!
This will take me sometime ....
I bought a Kagama 6s, the LE only came out a few weeks after ....
I was supposed to buy Team Corally tools, that have been sitting in my basket ....
They have to wait too now
So much money, but I love it

I highly recommend Hudy/Protek/MIP tools for RC stuff. 👍

RC is brilliant and everything, but sometimes it can feel like it's a job in of itself catching up with all the stuff we 'need' to buy! 😅

The LE looks awesome and I'm super tempted myself. Marks RC from West Wales has one and apparently his servo saver spring was loose.

Somebody suggested putting thread lock on the retaining thumb screw, which I immediately advised against. There shouldn't be a need, provided the nut is actually compressing the spring.

However, it is a well established fact that the servo saver springs on RTR rigs are specced with too low a rate.

Lee Spring LC 085J 0 M is the solution. 👍

999 of you are going to need them soon enough. 🤣
 
That’s something I’ve had to do on both my TC rides is to tighten the servo save. First I’ve seen of a aftermarket one gonna head and order a few right now. Can’t wait to see some vids of your LE I’ve seen the chance to win one but I don’t do FB wish one would be done on X.

Stock spring I can compress between the tips of my index finger and thumb.

Never going to happen with the Lee Spring. 😁👍

This spring was specced by us here on the forum in 2022. 😎

I'm about to buy 10 springs and I'll sell another 9 on eBay.

People seem happy paying £10 plus shipping for springs that are too weak, but then worry about buying a batch of 10 x £3.66 springs that are perfect. 🤔 Go figure!

Yea I know a lot like that also, I’m the opposite rather buy a reliable well made upgrade or replacement part that will help performance as well as durability. No spring type servo savers on the Air RC side but being a mechanic most of my life turning the adjuster where very little to no space to do what it was designed to do made no sense to me. I went up some until steering was where I was ok with it, springs are ordered can’t wait to install seeing how well they work. Thanks again for that heads up

It's best to remove the steering assembly to fit the Lee Spring. The spring requires compression whilst carefully threading the thumb screw onto the thread - maintaining adequate pressure -without getting it crossed up. 👍

Here's the Lee Spring - look at the difference! 😎👌

Vs the stock:

This was the only way I could get any authority over the belted Jetko tyres....😬 Not cool...
 
Yall know it’s crazy I watch all these Utube videos with people complaining about how hard TC’s are a pain to work on I haven’t thought so mean 8 screws the rear assembly comes out. Then going on about changing pinions on the Kagama4 I just remove the center brace assembly to service the center diff it will come out and go back together if you get the shaft alignment just right or up enough say the Kagama4 to remove the one blind set motor screw. I’d rather have beef than a weak area with little support for durability
