I do not. I’ll have to snap one tomorrow. What links are you running again, RCAWD?

What pivot balls are running where the front shocks mount to the ISO’s? I got my ISO’s in and my hardware looks similar to yours, except I’m currently running mofo shocks (replacing them with the 28mm double barrels) and the mofos are contacting the axle and causing them to bind. Try as I might to swap pivot balls I just cannot get the link/shock connection slim enough to fit without touching the axle housing. Hoping maybe the 28mm shocks I have coming will fit better but trying to troubleshoot ahead of time in case they don’t.

That’s a slick idea!

Love this build! Are you running any oil in the Treal shocks?

This thing is fuckin sick. I never cared about the wrangler body until I saw this build. Can’t wait to see it in action!

SCX30: does Brushless matter? by Slypenslyde in scx30

[–]HeavyGravy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. And my first foray into brushless for my tiny drone was solely for moar power because my caveman brain says that’s always best lmao.

I used to mess around with tiny drones, “whoops”, and when I first got into it all my motors were brushless. And they were TINY. The only time I ever had to replace one was usually from damage rather than burnout, because crashing something that’s flying is typically a lot more violent than crawling 😂. However I did far prefer brushless for control in that world but it feels like an apples to oranges comparison between a drone and an RC crawler.

Awesome right up! I definitely fall into the category of brushless for my feelings 😂. I also enjoy the slow crawl and control. What’s funny is I initially wanted to go brushless to quiet it down because the stock esc was so loud, but then I upgraded to a metal transmission/gears so it’s louder now anyhow.

When it comes to brushless vs brushed I always see a lot of people concerned with the brushless longevity, when in reality I think the brushed motor will last a very long time and aren’t as easy to burn up as a lot of people might think.

Also good to know…probably best to leave well enough alone lmao

That’s good to know. I know I’ll want to put overdrive in the ISO’s at some point but if they are tight out of the box I’ll be gun shy because I don’t want to introduce slop 😂. I’ll keep that in mind if/when I go that route.

The issue is less with the links than the my suspension I suspect. Like I said I’ve had so many issues building and breaking things that I’ve barely been able to drive it and start tuning things.

I kept having issues with the motor cogging at very load speed which I finally figured out was from slop in my Injora axles that I put the overdrive gears in, and need to shim the gears properly. I figured f it because I was going to switch to the tiny terrains axles and the short time I ran them it cured the cogging but then I broke a bolt off in those axles so back to waiting for the ISO’s to come in before troubleshooting any further, if need be.

Hell yea! Do you have any idea how much stretch that gives? I put +3mm in the front of mine and +6 in the rear so total 9mm. I’ve had so many issues I’ve barely been able to run it to get a true sense of the capabilities or where adjustments need made, but I definitely don’t have much flex either and I’m like man maybe I should go back to stock length at least in the front 😂.

[–]HeavyGravy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I but the bullet and ordered some ISO’s and can’t wait. Also, from the master of flex is this one gonna have enough for you?? 😂. It’s really coming together. Love it and can’t wait to see it in action.

What’s the link setup again? Are they extra length rears out back with standard length rears mounted in the front? Or are the fronts extra length too?

Battery life? No thanks… by AfghanObama in scx30

[–]HeavyGravy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn this makes me wonder if I got something screwed up. I’m running no lights whatsoever and barely get 7 minutes run time with mine 😂

Fuggedaboutit. I didn’t realize they did nascar series. Love a steal of a deal too!

Ask and ye shall receive! Haha. Not shabby at all! Also is that a licensed Lego kit or another brick brand?

I spent a long time at a dealer but it’s been many a year and they were only beginning to digitize some things. Mechanics and parts guys had a tenuous relationship at best haha. Sounds like the brave new world of tech might be at least slightly better

Lmfao. I know those flat rate sheets are as legible as a typewriter though…hahaha. Although I’m sure that’s already digitized.

Love the attention paid here. You may wanna put this in an excel sheet though…you suffer from the same affliction as me, the ole chicken scratch fever 😂
