theres some serious power hiding away there! your street is so chilled. looks a great place to live. like you said earl, a fan on motor and maybe 2 servos to get that monster turning strong and fast. i really like how videos end to, you think thats it then some brilliant shots of the vehicles pop up at the end.

Glad to see your XLX2 worked!! I put a brand new one in mine 3 weeks ago and it smoked right out of the box. It came with the newest firmware 2.12 already installed. When it went it took my receiver and lipos with it!!! Nothing better than loosing a pair of Powerhobby 9000mah 120c graphine packs in the blink of an eye 👁! Castle has been less than helpful in helping me resolve this issue. Last time I buy there products!!!! Anyway yours looks like an animal. So glad it worked out 💪 👍💯💯💯💯

@lifeofdave12373 жыл бұрын
That things a beast 👊 Is the steering issue down to torque steer maybe ? Or just literally under powered. Odd as goes one way easier than the other. Hence iam thinking torque could be the issue. Either way a twin servo set-up should help force it round lol. Lovely place there mate, very quiet compared to round here, cars parked everywhere in the street and busy most of the time lol. Great setup that earl 👌

Smashing Earl I’d address the centre diff and hope the screws just backed out as the show where you did the centre diff you defo made it hard for the screws to come out the way you torqued on the driver😉 the steering maybe if one servo ain’t so great 2may also not be so great until the actual cause of lack of steering can be found 🧐 I hope this makes sense could be twice as caca as 1 servo😬 but all else is great the way he is Maybe a full fan Just because or drop the pinion a tad and that’s just because when your out on the run you’ll have more space to hold onto the trigger for a little longer but if he’s only for out the front of house 🏠 Then he is 💯Perfect🎯 Earl Thanks for sharing🤩🤩 The thickness in the centre diff definitely allows you to put it down a lot more I think once the steering is fi🥳xed this will be very addictive indeed Earl

The motor combo and center diff changes really livened it up. Interested to see how well it will hook up off road. That steering is concerning, maybe re-adjust the servo saver over a couple of teeth toward the left side and see what happens.

When new I spent weeks trying to adjust the steering issue finding that one direction has full range and the other bottom out on the steering link a really bad design as Losi said to set end points to match and loose steering on the better direction 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

@@earlmoorhead5555 I'm surprised horizon hobby didn't blame you for the bad steering. The spectrum esc, motor, batteries and wires were getting very hot and a few other issues, I contacted horizon and they basically blamed me saying I ran it more than 10 mins without letting it cool down or I was using different batteries other than the spektrum batteries. At the time everything was bone stock.

I do not own a DBXL-E but I do really enjoy reefs servos (I have four of them) and they just came out with 2 fifth scale servo that exo-caged RC installed in his DBXL-E And it looks to be a complete beast. Just an idea for something for you to look into. I know reefs servos are a little pricey but I haven't had any issues with any of mine. I'm sure the fifth scale servo is expensive but if it's anything like their other servos I'm sure it's worth it.
