This is an awesome build. I am considering one now that I see it.
Take a look at the neoprene stealth transmission gaskets, now available on eBay in gray, blue, purple. They are the best. Car looks fantastic.
I've seen those gaskets and could see them as being very effective. In my case, I don't want to "hide" my machined aluminum trans spacers.
I'm going to use a Hobby Wing XR10 Justock ESC. Great value for the money at around $54.00. To place it inline with the battery will require some trimming of the bulkhead battery box. Fixing to make that happen this morning.
Did you make the machine battery box? That is a nice piece. I am talking about the one holding the 2s Lipo, not the bulkhead above...
I understand about hiding the motor standoffs. The neoprene gaskets can be trimmed to show the spacers and still hold themselves in place, as you probably remember from the felt gaskets. They fell apart on the outside of the holes first. I just trimmed them away and put the gasket back in place. This would be for a runner of course, if its a shelfer, let that bling shine.

Hi Sandbar, I got the battery hold down (aluminum) pieces from Shining Star. I replaced the delrin stand offs that came with the kit with Purple anodized ones from Tuning Haus. The battery thumb nuts are Exotek.

I got some parts in today from AMAIN, Savox SC-0254MG servo, Avid 4-40 servo mounts, and a cool MST black/silver adjustable (8 position) servo saver.

Nomad,
I just picked up the same MST servo saver. Do you know what size ball cup is used with it?
I have a standard 3mm turnbuckle, and the normal RC10 ball cup is too small. But I’m not sure which one actually fits

Hi Zipity, I've used a Lunsford 3mm x 10mm ballstud with Lunsford rod end. You can also use RPM rod ends.
Curious if anyone's had experience with the kit. I like the front nose plate braces and will be using that innovation on some of my trailing arm buggies. thinking about getting the kit. :wink:
Since I mentioned my Blazing Star in the recent 'Dirt Thrashers' thread, I figured I would post a picture just for fun:

Same bodt set as the Terror Conqueror . You would never thought so hey!!! :)
Hey all,anyone here point me in the direction or share with me the manual,instructions for the tekin M star esc.. Or point me to another tekin that may share the same setup calibration procedure as the m star.. Thanks everyone :mrgreen:

Not sure about the receivers but thanks for the esc pic mate....
I did a quick search, but didn't see any Star Wars related paint schemes. I think the buggy bodies (cab in the rear), kind of resemble an X-wing. Went with a Resistance style scheme. Had a few spots bleed through, but I was rushing and had not paint...

Not that I would know though.... Its been years sinse I saw a star wars movie, not counting the newest,, but I dont much remember it either!
These are listed as for JRX2 . Does anyone know did HPI make wheels for specific applications or are these universal if using the HPI bearing/wheel adapter set(s)? If I track down the adapters, could I slam these on a TRX series buggy?...

Soak them in a strong degreaser, chrome will come off.

After having an excellent time at a big race with my yokomo blackdog project I decided to take this car a couple steps further for this years event.
I actually broke the front drive belt and raced most of the second day in rear wheel drive only...

I can only take credit for driving the car while the shots were taken; didn't make them myself.

Does anybody have any info on the use of star winding methods on brushed motors at all? I had heard rumour that Mick Goddard of MG dabbled with this, but have now come across one of his experimental motors. It was labelled as an '8 Special' but in...

From what i have read online today, star gives lower rpm but higher torque per amp. Certainly fascinating!! Will be good to see some dyno and torque checker figures... it is with my motor builder right now in fact!
