Fun day guys!

Awesome day! Especially since I didn't break anything for once.
I do have some tuning up to do if I'm going to keep up with your Outcast though.

It’s probably just the tires

My tires definitely aren't for racing. I'll put a different set on.
I'm just going to try to do a factory refresh. The Outcast is so tough that I've crashed it 50 times and it doesn't break much.

Yeah, it's time for me to give my rigs a deep rehab. Atm the kraton is ok the bench taken apart and will check diffs and housings, also plan to redo my diff oil setup.
My mojave needs some real love after the last couple outings but I will rebuild her also.

How is that basherqueen housing doing?

The Basherqueen bulkhead is working great so far. I'm really impressed with their carbon towers and center brace. I have all carbon in my Talion and haven't broken a single Basherqueen part (yet).

Yeah im thinking of ordering 2 bulkheads to start off then get the m2c pin system for both but it's just not cheap lol

 

[MMoelmann]

I ordered the cheap bulkheads from AliExpress (thanks @dure16 ) for my upcoming Fireteam build. $100 per bulkhead from Basherqueen is a lot. I'll let you know if I see a difference in quality once I get the new ones.

I only have a few bashes on them but they have held up great. Even with some big hits.

Hey everyone!

The next meetup will be a week early, on Sunday April 2nd. Same place, same time. This is due to the Easter Holiday on the 9th, which is when we would typically meet (the second Sunday).

Of course, if you want to escape any family obligations, feel free to use the meetup as an excuse to go bash at the meetup spot on the 9th anyways!

 

[ZooKeeper]

I'm ready for Sunday! The weather forecast is looking good currently!

The Infraction is put back together and ready for it's first post-rebuild run.

I do need to make a quick fix to the K8s to tighten up the servo saver still, thanks to @dure16 for pointing out the issue to me last meetup.

 

[bigkid_rc]

I'm getting my gaskets for my diffs and will be rebuilding then without the gasket maker. I should have all 3 ready for sunday

 

[MMoelmann]

I'm bringing out the freshly built Fireteam. Check out the build I posted about it this week.

I also got the replacement motor for my Talion, and also got a new servo for my Typhon.

I'm looking forward to a fireteam race between @MMoelmann & @dure16 !!

That 80wt should help thays what I have in mine

I'm pretty sure my Mojave doesn't have shock oil in the shocks and probably doesn't have anti-roll bars with how much body roll I had

Kidding, but I need to tweak my suspension for sure.

Welcome to the mojave pain lol

I did not think mine did either, but there was some in it. Not sure on weight but much lighter than what I put in. 70F/80R.
