I would also like to have a 1/5 scale gasser Or the newest offering from CEN racing, the collasus XT/Reeper.
I have plenty of room and storage, and i live in open territory so that wouldnt be an issue either. drive it up into my pickup, drive it back down to run..lol. Cost is my main factor...
switch to the flux or XL extended axle drivetrain. they are both heavier than the X and SS drivetrains.
you will need to switch the axles and outer divverential cups also as the bone is 11mm round rather than 9mm.
center shafts are the same on all models except the xl which uses a longer rear
you lucky devil!...lol
those parts are scarce. better run back and buy up all they have then post them on epig for a tidy profit.
a couple weeks ago i had someone message me and wanted me to break up a listing for a flux xs truck so they could buy the included pads in a sepeerate listing.
didnt...
UK seems to have plenty of those pads
HPI has some serious issues right now.
they don't seem to be making very many models to sell
AND they surely are not making any parts for the models already out there
This Hobby is getting to be like the custom Motorcycle market a few years ago.
vendors dropping like flys and parts for their builds getting scarce.
pictures would be nice.

the older 4.6 had an actual bearing, but i think they did change that setup to one like LRP has with OWB built right into the backplate and the hex shaft slides throough and it grabs it.
take the WD40 to those bearings inside the plate and blow the motor...

Flysky was easy. Just did 3 recievers(FS-GR3E) to a transmitter(FS-GT3B) last week. took all of about 3 minutes to bind all 3 to the one transmitter. insert supplied binding jumper in open reciver channel and power the reciever, hold the button till it blink steady, turn on transmitter reciever...
I have never had issues with the front OR rear integy carriers on my bashers. on the rears i did cut down a savage .25 diff carrier brace into shims to replace the plastic ones that came with the Integy carriers
front...
my plan for now will be to run them at 6.0v but at least have all my rc 7.4v capable.
buy 4-SV1270TG high current servos for all 4 of my vehicles in the steering slot.
move the 2 SC1267 high current that I have into the throttle/brake slot of the 2 nitro trucks i have
