    Fuel cars is not something I have messed with since the late 60s. 🦖 I really enjoy doing business with Amain, watching your reviews and build videos. And this is one of the best sofar. Don't stop! Wanna see the run video on this. Attention to detail on where to put the weight and were to keep it lite is truly a thing of beauty. And the use of ceramic bearings in the diffs and a slightly less precision type in other parts of the chassis may seem obvious, but it's not occurred to me before so I am learning stuff from your videos.

    Very cool! I cringe at the thought of intentionally adding unsprung weight; studied some racecar engineering in college and general rule of thumb is one ounce reduction unsprung weight is equivalent to five ounces of sprung weight. I’d be interested to see a test of those wheel nuts in the wheels vs on the chassis.

( I already removed both plastics at the ends of the battery box but it needs like 1mm more space to fit)

    I'm considering this kit and have a question regarding the problem you came across with the radio tray posts. Could you not mount the servo first and then plug the servo lead in afterwards to avoid dremeling the plastic radio posts. Or, what about possibly mounting the servo using only the radio post on the opposite side of the servo lead - then, manouver the second radio post from the bottom and then fasten it to the radio plate? I'm just going by what I see, so I may not see the full picture. Any insight would be great... thanks!

  • @AMain_Hobbies

    @AMain_Hobbies

    Жыл бұрын

    No, you can't add the wire after, I tried; the opening in the post isn't big enough. Installing the second radio post after installing the servo is a good idea, but didn't try that; you'd need to remove center diff I believe. Regardless how you get the servo installed, once the post is butted up against the wire as it bends down, there's a lot of pressure put on that wire. Removing the boot on the detachable servo wire greatly helps the wire bend with less bulk, but I discovered that trick after the fact, so it's not mentioned in the video. You could probably get away with no dremeling and just install the servo, but that post will put a lot of pressure on the wire as it bends down. Dremeling material off the post just helps elevate some of that pressure, but you could probably get away with not doing it. If the detachable lead has an issue its cheap to replace; although a failure during a race would suck. -Brett

    Either would be great to basher, but which has more parts available at your local hobby shop? Have you checked out the Typhon? www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-typhon-6s-blx-brushless-rtr-1-8-4wd-buggy-red-black-v5-ara8606v5/p1274549 For only bashing, this could be a great, half-the-price, alternative. The tolerances and tightness of the machine won't be the same as the race cars, but if you're just bashing, it may be better to withstand the abuse. If you're set on building a race kit for a basher, I would highly recommend the Tekno cars for how heavy and bullet-proof they are. I know of a few Tekno eTruggies turned into bashers and they're absolute beasts. The only downside to these race kits vs a rtr basher, is the tekno etruggy suspension will have limited travel and sit lower than an Arrma Kraton 6S BLX for instance (an equivalent rtr truggy basher). The race cars want to hug the ground, but bashers traverse better with more ride height. Just depends on how chunky your terrain is I guess. Hope this helps or gives you some ideas. Let me know what you think! -Brett

    The real question is will $1000 worth of mods make it faster AND more durable. Titanium screws are softer than steel and break or strip far more easily. Titanium Turn Buckles are weaker than the same sized steel for only a 30% weight disadvantage Clamp Blocks for the exhaust clamp. In running RC for nearly 30 years I have never stripped one of these plus additional weight. The answer is If you have to spend that sort of money on a high end kit to make it competitive all you really have is a kit that is overpriced, inadequate and probably fragile. The wrong kit? For racing I would happily take a bullet proof car to one 1/4 second a lap faster that failed occasionally.
