437 - A Song For Billy Ray: Custom Decals

Finally the awaited custom decals for the Blitzer for the young Billy Ray have been arrived. The inspiration comes from the legendary Troy Lee graphics, unfortunately result isn't perfect because I've tried to hide some body imperfections giving to the decals a white background... I hope that Billy will be focused on the flames and to the performace and will forgive his old uncle 😎

436 - The Unexpected Upgrade For My BBX: Brushless Power!

Yes, I gave in, I swallowed my pride and I’ve bought a brushless motor and a brushless ESC.

The reason is that my BBX (and the BB-02 in future) using a brushed set-up is ever on the edge between reasonable perfomance and lavic temperatures.

Ad my usual, I’ve surfed the Web for some infos and to find something that could make for me and, in the end, I’ve bought a Ruddog  RP540 13.5T 540 Sensored motor, the  Hobbywing QuicRun 10BL120G2 120A G2 Sensored ESC and the Hobbywing Led Program Card.

Hobbywing boxes looks a bit aseptic, I miss race proven/90s graphics.

Of course I will keep NiMH batteries because my experience with LiPo have been a little catastrofic and I don't trust them.

435 - Wild One Updated: Savox Sc-0252MG Servo

 

As said my Wild One has a new servo. Some adjustment have been necessary to use it with the #51000 servo saver: some tiny spacers unser the servo mounts and 5mm uniballs for a easier installation on the servo saver horn (smallest ones have a much shorter thread).


First set up (dating back to the build of the car) with smaller ball adjusters now swapped with bigger ones.


Steering rods look a bit angled to my preferences but it's the best config with #51000 servo saver, all works smoothly so I guess it's good enough.
