What did you work on today?

[KratonNoob]

Wigs makes for a softer landing...
So you might be able to put some old wigs to good use.





Looks Okay.
But I see a possible problem ,in the near future..


>>> Since that wing mount is in two parts and it's just mated together with a pair of tiny M3 screws and that little offset rod, it's going to get stripped/wrecked as soon as you land on it wonky/twisted...
Unfortunately..

I'd bet Money on it.





I would design it differently for sure.

I agree, those little screws aren't the strongest thing that comes to mind... Any ideas for a replacement/ solution?
Also, any word on Rpm creating Anything wing related for the new exb v2?

I too ordered that wing mount; only issue I ran into was being unable to get 1 of the 4 screws through the rear brace. Thankfully the ones with a nut on the backside secured properly. Wing mount feels durable; we'll find out soon enough.View attachment 363676View attachment 363677

You should start a thread for these specific parts; I'm sure people are buying them up like crazy and we have no real world feedback/ durability results at this time. I'd contribute for sure to the thread.

That's Not a good start...
-Did it just now happen.. During install?


Doesn't look like the part was printed with the right temperature..

Was it printed with PLA+ or PETG? Or other?

Pulled some super oldschool MT tire shuffle action over the course of the evening.. Love doing stuff like this, and with kickass results..

I did an update on my “twins” build thread explaining the how’s and why’s, but figured I’d contribute to this thread as well..

About to glue ‘em up, and can NOT wait to run ‘em!!!

I put the Max 6 V2 on my Typhon hybrid 6s. I had to learn new things about the V2 Max 6. Like now you use the HW App to program it through BT and that the ESC fan only spins when necessary. Very cool stuff. I like it a lot more than the V1 Max 6 because of those two functions. Calibrating the ESC to the RX and TX is also different. I'm going to be using a single QS8 since it doesn't unplug as easily as smaller plugs when doing big jumps.

Getting the Asuga ready for action. Kinda proud of the antenna tube solution.

That's interesting..
I didn't realize they had modular downforce vanes on their upper suspension arms..

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool when I saw them. There's a lot of details in this rig that are really cool.

Thanks, I didn't want a hole in my body, and my receiver has a stupid long antenna wire.

I'm ready to see what this thing does on 8S! Could be a nice, larger option to the Typhon,

Should be interesting, probably be carrying it back with 4 destroyed tires and 3 blown diffs lol.

Good luck, and may the Gods of RC smile on you and your rig!

Well, never did my winter maintenance.....new job and laziness. Finished up my 1st one today. Senton 6s.... ret-2-go! Changed out all 3 diff oils, new bearings, and checked it over....tightened him up. 9 more maintenance jobs to go, 2 bodies to paint and a Ryft kit to build.

working on a receiver mount all most done just have to mill down some spots

Looks like you need some antenna-supports/re-enforcement brackets to go along with your RX mount..

Really and why would you put supports for the antenna’s
