    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Oh boy, did it ever @Lumikko. Fought and fought (mostly with my own incompetence) to get the Kashima shocks built, last night and this morning. Between that, and re-attaching my rear swaybar - I was rewarded for my trouble with my most consistent day of practice yet. The Harpoons are wearing...

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Oh yeah @ahr43 - dude's all about it. He loves helping me work on the cars. Quality father-and-son time.

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Well, car’s good; for now, at least. Got a few packs through her on Thursday before an unfortunate mistake folded one of my arms. I switched to carbon arms a few weeks ago, and this is the first break I’ve had with them, despite multiple glancing impacts to the pipes at full speed off the back...

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Good god... running one car and doing it right is kicking 100% of my a-double-s. Yesterday was a disaster. I thought I had blown my idler gear, because the car was running crunchy and the spur and pinion seemed OK. I'm running a slipper eliminator with a RC Speed Secrets shaved idler gear...

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Copied paste from the "Who was wrenching today" thread: It's not an Exotek anymore. Good riddance, too... the AE chassis is much, much more consistent.

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Oh I totally know what you mean - but I only pulled the ESC fan - I left the motor fan in. Interesting - do drag cars not use motor fans? I mean, I suppose that makes sense - you don't want to waste a single drop of battery (or gram of weight) on spinning a fan against a motor that's only going...

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    Thanks, @ahr43 - now that you mention it, I've noticed this too! I have some bulk screws; I'll have to start paying more attention, and subbing in longer ones when I can. Loaded in a whole mess of changes on the car today. I tend to try to only change one thing at a time... but I've been...

    Associated B6.4 / Exotek CB6.4: Build / Run / Maintenance Thread

    I’m running an Associated B6.4 with the Exotek CB6.4 chassis conversion in the 21.5t stock class, on carpet. I just got a whole bunch of go-fast bits, and I’m (over)due for my first serious round of maintenance on the thing, so I thought this would be as good a time as any to make a thread. I’d...
