braune's Losi-Boxer-Shafty!

[braune]

Yup, Gen I and II both handle 3s. My Gen I has literally hundreds and hundreds of 3s packs over the last 5 years. Still running strong, after trying too many different motors.

Personally, I would look to the Gen I. I don't think the improvements will benefit us crawlers and you can save some dough (stupid, I know, but I just don't like the white). I also feel that the RS is a little smoother than the MMP, and the slow speed is better. Especially with the 21.5 that I got with it, loved the 21.5, I just needed more wheel speed. I have not tried the Novak on the RS.

The reason I mentioned the MMP is for the room to go to 4s with out concern. And I think it is alittle more robust, awesome ESC. I run it in my pro shafty, without question. Love it.

Another thing that I did was put the Crawler Innovation FXR 4s capacitor on the RS, so I can run 4s. Still makes me nervous, but it is awesome. Don't run it often, but I do notice that the slow speed resolution feels better, of course the kick of more juice, the electronics run just as cool, and longer run times.

I'll buy a Gen 1 for sure, seems to be better ;-)
No MMP for me, I don't need the 4S feature Also the MMP is really big compared to the Gen1

"thumbsup" you will love it.

Forgot to mention the size thing, you are so right. I was astonished at the difference.

I did have an MMP that I decased, sooo much smaller. I left the heat sink, but you could take that off also. I just couldn't muster the cajonas to try it.

Please keep us posted, I would love to hear your thoughts on the RS with the Novak.

Of course I keep posting
Today I did the first testrun with it. The vertical wall ability is awesome, sidehilling is impressive :shock:
I'll look forward to the Supercrawl and hoping on a good placement this year... Just need to train a bit with the new setups;-)

 

[braune]

So...I put it on the weight today. Final weight is 1690g (3,73 Ib) RTR, I think it will be perfect for my drivingstyle "thumbsup"

May I need to add some weight in the front:mrgreen: or the rear, but TIME WILL TELL"thumbsup"

Regards
Jeffrey

Newest update:
I'm currently designing on a new front axle plate... 8)The acryl one broke while the last testrun :x

But I'm really decreased with working and driving currently because of an injury on my foot

Best regards
Jeffrey

Hi,

today I did a new front axle plate out of 2mm Aluminium.
I screwed a piece of Acryl to it, on where I am able to mount the ESC.
It only weights 5g more than the full-Acryl plate, but it is way more tough8)



Here fixed on the axle:

Here a pic compready:



I'm really happy with the steering angle, wided axle and the 52/48 geometry8)
With the gearbox mod (just as JENS did) and the stock 20T Pinion I am able to do backflips and the torque is more than enough"thumbsup"

Since today morning it snows all the time so I can't practise a bit with it...

 

[braune]

Today I got some Carbon shafts for the rear.
MADE by Ed.el8)
Each is weighting 3g, a stock steel one weights 14g.
I am a testdriver for those shafts, to see how robust the are.

 

[pajey]

That's very interesting. But I personally don't think they'll hold, except I hope they do cause that could change a lot of things. So it has an aluminium thread on the end? And the rest is carbon? Confuses me a little.

 

[braune]

Today I was out with my Losi again
Worked really good.
Since last, I modded the XRShafts, added a Baja and mounted soft DDs;-)

I am really happy with it "thumbsup"
Just need to add a bit knuckle weight, around 50g I think





@pajey: I haven't built them in yet cause I was on a basketball match yesterday. I hope they work, but I can't say it so far;-)

 

[braune]

Yesterday my brother and me were out again:mrgreen:

Really happy with it;-)
Until my Servohorn broke:x Ordered a new one today.

I also bought some CK KW fixers, hope they arrive the next days to make it a bit heavier (I don't like lightweight verhicles, my Losi weights currently 1700g:roll

I also outboarded my shocks at the frontaxle and rearaxle, total difference.
Rearaxle now:

That steering is tight, nice! Are you using the TAG kit?

Thanks! Yes!

 

[braune]

Today I've installed my KWs with the CK fixers"thumbsup"
Nice fitting, tested a bit and found out, that 60g is more than enough for me;-)

More tests with KW in the rear will come soon;-)

I also got my new Alumium servohorn today"thumbsup"
Really happy with this crawler FOR NOW:roll:8)

 

[braune]

Today another package.:ror:
Some M3 threads by Würth. Much stiffer now."thumbsup"
The threads in the plastic were broken:roll:

 

[braune]

What do you think? Please tell me your opinion...;-)

I love that body alot, but I am a nonconformist. Though I think most Losi drivers are.....
