The "What did you buy today?" thread...

[Lostinthewoods86]

I have that same compressor and I have that exact same Iwata Neo CN. I also have the Iwata Neo BCN. Same basic brush, just siphon fed instead of gravity.

Happy with them I assume?

The airbrushes yes. I've not done a lot of airbrushing, but I've owned 4 different Iwatas, and they were all awesome. The compressor, I'm not sure yet. It's still in the box. I just got it a month or two ago, and I haven't airbrushed anything yet, so the jury is still out on it. From what I saw when I was researching airbrush compressors, I'm confident it will be a good one.

Ha! You lot have all bumped your heads! I just get real lucky… I appreciate the thought though brothaman! I can’t wait to see ya lay some color down my friend! My new stuff is right behind yours, the SprayGunner box shipped out this morning from FL, and is already an hr away from me & will be in my hands tomorrow, and the new brush just shot out today as well from OKC.. Hopefully Thursday maybe? I’m stoked..

Ordered new shocks for the big rock, hopefully this will be the last set . And new tie rod/camber links.

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

@Warby can I bother you with a question on the big rock? Ours is the latest one?any recommendations on the steering rack for this thing? I was looking at the hot racing one, and their servo saver, the plastic pivot are all wore out on this thing we haven’t tore up the stock servo yet, but I’ll probably grab a new one if I get the hr servo saver as the arrma servo is 23t? Any other things I should look at for it? I did order the typhoon 6s shocks for it and gpm tie rod/camber links.

Edit: I may grab the rpm arms for it too

My BR still has the original steering rack although I did replace the brass bushes with sealed bearings. I'm running the DS3235 35kg servo. I'm still running the original rods/links but with alloy pivot balls.

The 6s shocks are a game changer.

I haven't needed the rpm arms. Stock arms are fine.

Upgrades I'd recommend are a stronger servo, 6s shocks, better tyres, motor fan and a better bearing kit. I haven't felt the need to upgrade anything else. I may have fitted the thicker motor plate too.

Didn't buy it today, but it was delivered today... after I left for work, of course.

Thanks! I passed on the rack for now, I did go ahead and get the HR servo saver though. We have bent a few a the links on it and bent the shock shafts. I passed on the arms for now too cause we haven’t broke them yet . Didn’t order servo yet cause I gotta see what I got in the spares

Was walking through Walmart this morning and found this. It’s the Power Craze 2.0 buggy. Came with a USB charger for the buggy and even a small screwdriver. What got me were the working headlights and fog lights. Also has proportional throttle. Not bad for $10

Just note when fitting the 6s shocks, you'll have to space out the shock lower rod ends from the arms so the spring collar doesn't foul on the axle. Think I used 3 - 4 washers. Also fit a longer screw. The longer the better as I have had one rip out of the arm on my 3s Typhon which also has 6s shocks.

Can't remember if I did this to the rear too. Maybe not.

Is there anything on the upper mounts for them, I kinda went through that thread on the arrma forum about the shocks, some needed something for the upper mount?

Yes you'll need these bushings:

Axial AXA1356 Silicone Shock Bushing 7.5x8mm

I think the raptor might be slightly longer chassis. Congrats on the purchase.

The raptor r is for sure, I’m pretty sure the 2wd raptor is the same though.
