I have a decal fetish myself. I have a huge stack of em.

Thats some cool looking pegboard. Of course you bought it cuz its blue lol. Prolly why you bought the cell meter 8 too!

The CM8 aside from being able to test servos and check battery voltage levels it can also be used as a stand alone lipo balancer.

Picked up a T-Maxx Electric conversion. It seems to be a 3.3 except the tranny is a 2.5. Gonna have to pull the tranny apart and see if its been upgraded to metal gears otherwise I'm gonna have to do it. It has had the FOC done to it so I'm hoping they replaced the plastic gears with metal ones. Worse case scenario Ill just buy a newer tranny from a 3.3 or maxx etc. Whatever fits and has metal gears. Gotta research that bit some more. Also needs a battery tray and Ill probably upgrade the stock 14mm hex to 17mm. I'm assuming they make an adapter? First MAXX of any kind for me so I'm not overly familiar. The body is half trashed and doesn't really fit the kit very well imo so Ill have to get a new lid for it eventually. Also gonna need to see if I can find a proper steel screw set to replace all these stainless Phillips heads.

Looks like the previous owner has installed an aluminum rear bumper, RPM rear a-arms and wheel hubs, I'm not sure if the tierods are stock or if those are lunsfords?, They look like Lunsfords that I have on my LST2 but maybe the stock ones look similar?, and it also has RPM front and rear skid plates.

All in all not bad score for $225 shipped.

Isn't it comical a shop is infested with RC stickers..?

nice find. The tierods, if it were me, take the plastic end off and grind a little. orange spark is steel. Brighter white is titanium.

Thanks for the tip and the links although this is a future project. Got a bunch of project in front of this so wont be buying anything soon. I just didnt want to pass up a fairly clean roller for $225

 

[HPIguy]

The larger grip panels for my KRG X-Ray chassis for my .308, the Harris bipod direct mount for .22, and a lighter trigger spring for the .308 from Tikka Performance.

 

[STONER RC]

Picked up a T-Maxx Electric conversion.

For 225$ a good score bud the RPM rear arms are the new true track arms.. NO tie rods needed. I got those on all my Tmaxx's. The front tie rods look like the stock rods. Which are steel. So jennys rc is the best. For RC parts all parts are off new RCs. here's the steel screws. I picked these up. It's complete set. You could just put the Revo 2.0 brushless tranns in it. Which will fit with a little modification to the mount. I love it in my conversion. But already sent you the link for the steel gear upgrades for the 2.5 tranns. Which will also work. The body definitely doesn't fit that truck at all. Don't know what that guy was thinking. Looks like the How 2rc motor mount. I will look I probably got front posts you can have. Over all it is a good looking roller for 225$ total.. could also go with the Emaxx brushless tranns its also the
Revo 1 tranns. If you need any thing let me know..

hello of course I had to get the pegboard ITS BLUE.... I love it I got two more coming. And I noticed that the CM8 has alot of features. I balance charge everytime. Being blue was a plus. But I boughy for the servo checker. Since it's a easy way to see if a servo works or not...

Haven't bought much exciting stuff lately but I did pay for entry into two tractor/truck pulls and ordered an EZLYNK for my pickup.

 

[Greywolf74]

Just got this guy in the mail today. Now I can keep my spool of .6mm and my spool of 1.2mm solder on the same holder. Wish the had one that held 3 but I dont use my .2mm solder very often so I just keep it on a separate holder.

I wish i could find some people doing RC truck pulls around me locally. I always thought that would be a ton of fun!

Very cool, looks like something easy to build also.

Awesome. Having a sponsor is incredible.
I would never be advanced enough in the hobby to warrant a sponsor but years ago I was a staff shooter for York Archery, "out of business now" and I used to get a ton of free stuff in the mail. Free arrows, different gadgets for my bows, including bows and a ton of clothing.

Good stuff bro! Any chance you can get them to send me a 2S 5000-6000mAh for testing purposes?

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm currently testing Xmaxx parts, any sponsors out there care to get involved?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Airbrush compressors get a bit hot when ran constantly so I am modding mine just a bit.
Not sure how well it will work but certainly can't hurt.
It will mount right on top of the cooling head, just like an esc.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I went ahead and ordered my front caster blocks for the Xmaxx...

 

[Edough13]

Some new hub bearings for my speed rigs as the sets in them now have seen a lot of mph's and dust for sure.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Damned if these didn't show up in my "pay now" box..
