My second stock SCX24 motor burnt out and decided to up grade to Furitek. I had already ditched the factory ESC/Receiver for the Furitek Lizard and the FlySky GT5. So this was just motor. At the same time I was sick of the extra crappy factory friction shocks and installed the Injora "Oil Dampers".
I need some help with the layout of electronics
The motor is the Furitek Micro Komodo. It's a tiny brushed outrunner motor. The only downside is that it mounts backwards and had to do some rearranging. I cut the corner of the forward tray to make room. Then put the ESC on the other side and the Bluetooth module vertically on the forward lip. The BS6 receiver got put on the servo.
I thought I was pretty clever with this setup, but found out when the wires are plugged into the receiver, they hit the body and limit the front axle travel.
If you have thoughts on the layout please let me know.
Not sure I like these shocks
The shocks are good quality and a good price. In the end the do work well. However, they are longer than the original shocks, the are tedious to assemble and there was no oil in them.
The longer shock length raised the height of the model, which is not desired.
There are no instructions in the package and assembly is a bit fiddly. You need to put one O-Ring on the brass fitting. Note there is a larger side that goes first. Then put the brass fitting into the shock and add the second O-ring to the second (smaller) side.
Then putting them on the model you need to sort the longer screws and use them on the top with the larger spacer. Then use the shorter screws with the smaller spacer on the bottom.
Looking at the Amazon listing it does say that you don't want to fill the shocks with oil, just add a little bit. So I may need to readdress this.
But until then the 80's called and they want their 4wd back.
