Well my bench was clean for all of 20 minutes when the UPS driver knocked on the door yesterday…
I really want to get better driving 2wd and the Frankensteined RB10 I was running was not helping at all. So I got a T6.4 kit. For now I’m going to use some electronics that I have already but, hopefully before outdoor season starts I can get a nice XR10 pro and maybe a 10.5 motor together for it. For now it’s going to get a Mamba X and my Slot machine until horizon sends out the replacements.
So far the kit is going smooth. I stopped before bag 7 tonight. But it’s starting to take shape.
I also got 2 JCon finisher bodies, 3 sets of DE racing black truck wheels, a set of carpet tires and a set of jcon sprinters in green. Also a Savox SB-2292SG servo. Besides the kit that was the big dollar item I got with it. I have a high speed Savox in my B74.1 and it’s really amazing compared to any of the other ones I have. Gonna stick with Savox till I have a reason to move in. They’re pretty nice.
Before even driving it I can tell an aluminum bellcrank and rack set will be one of the first upgrades. Probably a metal castor plate or kick up plate (whatever it’s called ) too. We’ll see how it drives before I pick aluminum steel or brass.
I’d like to find some carbon fiber bits and pieces over time; there’s not much that came stock on this kit. Not like the B74. That thing is loaded with carbon fiber out of the box. For no other reason than aesthetics I’ll admit but damn does it look cool. Might spend some time tomorrow on it but I probably won’t get to mess with it again till Monday at best.
I’d also like to find some extended body mounts that fit it. Just for fun I threw this Jeep Comanche crawler body I got forever ago on it. Amazingly it looks like the wheels will almost perfectly line up with it. There just isn’t clearance for the shock towers. Wouldn’t that be a hoot to bring to the track?!
