Limitless What did you do to your Limitless today?

[GMballistic]

Anybody planning on getting the fiber kit from Raz?

Looks great doesn't it.
I prefer making my own parts though.

You will want to order the Arrma 29t optional spur gear also for that low KV motor.
Looks like a good setup, have fun and be safe!

Not a big thing but I recently won an Arrma Skinz chassis protector on another forum for my Limitless so as it arrived today I got it fitted asap.

I love the design and the fit is pretty good.

I did add an extra hole which seemed to be missing, ...worth noting what looks like bubbles on it are not they're just the positions where I have non-standard screws added that I used for holding on my aluminium side extensions/battery plates.

I could of cut holes for them but decided to leave them as is for now. The picture below makes them look more obvious then they actually are in person.

Nothing cause I don't have one

 

[Edough13]

Installed my new B-Link for on the go programming

 

[Porschetech🇬🇪]

Nothing special today. Just blew the dust off the box

Is that code for something?

Yeah they’re lonely

Finished prepping it for the next run. Swapped in a blue DS3225, Radiolink dual antenna RX, fully recalibrated ESC and checked TX settings. Swapped in GP5 diffs. 1/16th and 1/8th polycarbonate sheets arrived today, so I can convery spoked wheels into dishes, custom aero, etc.

Tinkering on some 3d-printed parts in the wing area, the red mounts are already a little older, side is what I'm currently working on. White colour will be changed, this was just a quick test print...

 

[Infraction666]

Finally getting this done, just some qs8 connector on the new battery
I'll just pust this wing on my Limitless GT, and all the other carbon parts

 

[claytonbakerjr]

Got my batteries today

I have the kit on my Limitless. It's very nice.
Added some Carbon Fiber side skirts from Luxury Radio Control.

So I guess I was not paying attention and really didn't notice this thread in the forum so here is a top pick of mine,
Drive train is a MMX8S combo/1717-1650kv. Stock gearing for now. Pretty much stock other than some 3D printed items. I too wanted to grab the Scorched F/R shafts but as soon as I clicked the link for the reminder in my email (less than 30 minutes) all shafts were gone so I bit the bullet and decided to grab his Pinocchio setup after a few email exchanges. With the exception of the Scorched parts (Awaiting delivery) she is pretty much ready to start playing around. I have 2 sets of batteries, one for warm up and testing and a new set of SMC's as seen above.
I would imagine more upgrades along the journey but will take it easy at first since this is my 1st Speed Runner and there is a lot to learn.
Many members have helped along the way in my build thread, so Hats off to them

I still wonder why you split up the side skirts in two parts? Pure esthetics?
For ground effect/low pressure under the car it would be better if they go over the full length.

Well the truth is my printer beds were not large enough to produce the skirt in one section.
It feel short by 10mm no mater how I oriented the part. So I just winged it until I get in a
position to purchase a solid set. I totally agree with you on the effect standpoint.
I did see a 2 piece setup but I was not fond of how it attached together. Too bulky looking at the joint.
I have been seriously considering an upgrade to the bed on one of my printers but just have not
pulled the trigger yet. One of my 3 printers is an Ender3, there is this "Ender Extender" kit that will
increase the bed size as well as Z height. Most of the guys near me have similar sized beds so they would
end in the same boat. There are people out there that do print these in one piece but this
might sound petty and I am sorry, They charge a bit more than what it really is worth. If they offered
a solid part for a fair price I would have jump right on it but it seems to me they are selling
it as a 200% profit margin.
Don't get me wrong I have been printing for over 6 years and I know what's involved but
there is a fine line with supporting the hobby and making a profit, especially on 3d prints.
Last time I looked (if there are others please let me know) one fella wanted like 80 bucks....
For that I can just about buy Carbon Fiber

G10 is also a really cost effective option that is on par with Carbon fiber plate/sheet.
Just need a jigsaw and start cutting!

True, that is a good idea, and I also have sheet of CF from work that if I take the
time could produce a nice set myself. I like cutting CF outside and with the weather
up until recently that was difficult to do. I will look at my stock when I get home tonight.
I usually hit up my QC Labs guy he normally hands me sheets 12x12 but in most cases
only one side has a nice finish.
Something else that came to mind that I have used many times in the past are the ABS sheets.
I guess I have many options available to me, I just need to get off my duff LOL

Well I had a bad day yesterday with my Limitless. The 1717 motor started to sound weird when accelerating, after removing it from the drive train noticed it was shaking too, tested with another MMX8S with same results then I noticed that removing the sensor wire the shaking disappeared, tried two other sensor wires, same result. Something related to the sensors is broken, right now is flying to Castle for a warranty repair. I was tempted to put another 1717 I have but when looking for the Castle motor I saw a HW 4274SD 2250kv I had in a box completely forgotten and said, what the heck, I will install this thing and see what happens! Well, now is installed with a 27/34 gearing ready for being tested (or fried) this weekend.
