Hey all!
I absolutely appreciate every timenI can come here and ask or comment because while I still consider myself new, I learned and got so much from this community.
To the point now. Got myself the TLR and my son a really good 2nd hand RTR (£350 almost new, clean and w 2 batteries and charger hahahhahaa).
1.) So, do you cover your 6S cars, do you have to? I have OCD and I hate if poop gets in, but here everything is metal so maybe I don't mind, dunno. Still have that mud and stuff gets into them, do you protect the interior of your 6s cars? I hate the grass and else that goes into the ESC
2.) i run my tlr and my sons tlr on 6S (he gets 50% but im pretty sure the car still does 40 40mph under 5seconds. The motor gets hot, burns a bit when I do my part, but I guess thats still ok, because battery life is still stelar, despite of me almost only full throttlint on 16T 100% 6S 100C. But i still want fan and heatsink recommendation please! You probably know space is tight in the sexy Typhon bodies.
3.) The shocks on TLR are godlike. Never seen anything like it. You drop the car w batteries and all, it plushes down (doesn't bottom out) and plushes back in, no jumpy rebound. Mouthwatering. Same on new RTRs but we know RTR Typhon shocks are bit smaller. My problem is that they still bottom out and feel a bit weaker. The car was used but good conditions so I wonder if the springs got weaker if the car just stood in its wheels for 1y+ ? I refilld the shocks w 550 cSt and it did improve but still not like TLR.
4.) Tyre options for the TLR? I don't race for now I just bash on a short, shortish and dirt mix. The buggy race tires are not good and the katar rtr are good, but the 3S typhon tyres are ballooning. Please advise me on tires.
5.) Btw I found the similar to TLR HoBao buggy for £199 as roller. Takes 2-6S, all metal drivetrain. I cant wait to try it. First probably will run on 4S 100-120C then see some 6S system. Cant wair, its probably a lot of car for the money.
6.) My weird 4S Big Rock. So I broke my Vorteks chassis under full 4S system, full full. So not just 4S electronics, but also everything from the left and right of the diffs 4S. And the car behave weird. Nose is always very down. car just wants to wheelie on even just 3S. (13T pin, since its literally a 4S Kraton but Big Rock chassis, body, bumpers and body post.) Some advised loose or wearing slipper, which I ll check.
I think thats it as a check in from me. Gonna post some pics of my Arrma babies too.
Turbo RC is going well, although lack of proper dedication shows its signs, but the brand is building nicely and if Im engaged w the community, orders are flowing in.
Ps. Keep in mind I live in UK
ps2. the beers I had during writing this post. One I leave for my wife, this beer is life
