Just an update on some mods and purchased upgrades. Servo: www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Serv... Diff oil: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fastrax-Pu... Pinion gears: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
Hey bud cool vid man great details. I have the team associated db8 and it looks very similar. I am hoping my bud gets one of these. I was going to ask how it holds up and you said it is a bit of a tank haha love it man. New supporter here my UK 🇬🇧 brother 🙌🏼🙌🏼👊🏼
you talk about everything but the best upgrade, the centerbrace. Did you bolt it right in the existing places or did you have to make stuff to bolt in? The firewall was made of an old protein-tube? Brilliant as the car itself is....
great advice , i have done most of these mods you suggested . Maybe also put some rubber under the motor as i heard it slams into the chassis and can bend the motor mount or magnets come loose inside the motor . I have done your chassis mod, i put black plastic in the underside of the shell to act as a mudgurd , i have a metal rear /rear suspension arm mount on the way too . Just need some good weather !
You mean 50000 not 5000 for the dif oil. I paused the the vid and looked at the lid. Also did you try it in the other difs? I like the tray mod you did to keep it clean and is there one you can buy or do you have to make one? Cheers
I would recommend 300K for the center diff. I used 500K before but it was difficult to drive in a straight line until it thinned up over time. 300K will stop the blooming of the front tyres and give more power to the rear.
Hi mate just watched your video brilliant mate. And by the way what did you use on the body clips was it string and last of all on the front to stop mud going in to the truck what rubber was it and where too buy thanks 😊
Hi, I used some orange string I found somewhere and some heat shrink to cover the knots and give I nice finish. The mud guard was cut out of a tub from some powder for the gym but you could use Tupperware I suppose.
@UK Small torque hi mate just a update I finished my ftx dr8 the body clips are done so has the servo arm left up a bit with a washer. But not sure about this front mudflaps what do you think I could use and it's cheap enough 🤔 let me know thanks 👍☺️
On the DR8 I would not go higher than a 15t on the standard wheels to be honest. It is so fast and just uncontrollable but you get awesome air control. I am back down to 11 now after increasing the wheel size
@@none-qq9lg 2 up from stock is 14t and this gives a noticeable speed increase and probably makes 4s seem like 6s while not pushing your electronics too hard
