Cool build, It's a shame Losi and TLR don't make SCT's anymore at least right now i think Horizon is now focusing more on Arrma's which both the new Senton's and Fury's aren't bad trucks. But i kind of miss the Ten-SCTE sometimes and other older Horizon vehicles like the Vendetta, 22T (Which has yet to get a 5.0 release i had 4.0 for a time) and the 5ive-B. One thing i really would love if Horizon would build one is a TLR tuned Losi 5ive-T 2.0 either as a kit or roller you could build as an Electric or a Gas truck.

Nah man. It'll stay there til you get it done. So hurry up and quit changing chit

Nah. I'm glad you decided to anodize them. They'll look great.

You know how it goes with a new, CURRENT kit with me-let alone; one that’s 20yrs old, and with all the parts gathering, and absolute miracles I made happen.. I just couldn’t do that Mugen/Hobao/whomeverdafukitis blue-gray that was on that mack-daddy mount, and the standoffs are gonna match it.

Wrapped up a small project for the current build…Obviously this was after the de-anodizing I did the other night.. Jammin’ has like 37.4172 hue’s of their “bronze/gold”, and I am super pleased with the shade I mixed up.. Been nervous about this for a minute.. Pretty daamned stoked with the results..

Man! You got lucky bro! Nailed it

Boy's got skillz!

Well, first, I hung up my RCTalk banner. No you can't have one

Then I redesigned the battery strap mount for the Losi XXX-SCT so it will accept 25mm batteries. The OEM strap has a 1.8mm step down under the strap, making the battery space only about 24mm. This should give me enough room for some neoprene under the battery, and still fit a 25mm pack.

Just the test print to check the profile and hole location. Actual part, which is a lot stronger is printing now. But I still may need to beg @Lostinthewoods86 to print me a resin one.

Replaced my servo and added a gyro to my Hyper Go. Also drilled a hole through the bottom plate of the car to have easy access to the servos tension screw? If that is what it's even called lol. First ever repair/mod I've ever done

 

[CertifiedMike]

No idea what the screw does but good job on your mod/repair!!!

If I'm not mistaken it helps with preventing the server from slipping or being knocked back too far? I honestly have no idea what it does. But it was a pain in the ass when I added the servo. So I drilled the damn hole lmao.

Sounds like a servo saver maybe.
It always feels good to handle your own repairs!
