    WOW!!!!! Now that is what you call a haul of parts. Now that you have given the Ryft to someone who will enjoy it. The Typhon mega looks great with all the new parts and upgrades. I had those shocks and there is nothing that can be done (3 sets)😥😥 was using them on the Kraton and Outcast 4s. Take care and hope to see the newer Typhon in a video.

      I did pretty good on the trade! We goth were able to clear out some stuff not being used and give each other some tinkering projects. The Typhon will be a fun basher and I can work on setting the other to be a little more of a track buggy than basher although it will always be a fun basher too! I have one more idea for the shocks and if that doesn't work I am out of ideas! Thad has already called dibs on them so I will probably be sending them off to him after the last chance idea! LOL!!

    It's great when you make a trade with a responsible person. You received a lot of neat things. The xxx-s is. great parking lot car. I raced one summer and it drove really well. It's been my experience with old Losi belted cars finding belts is sometimes difficult. I see you have a couple of extra belts which ix great. It's nice when you receive suprises in the mail. It's like Christmas.

      Hi there Mike! It was a huge surprise to see everything in that box when it showed up! The Typhon is all sorted I think I will get out with it soon. I look forward to the Losi as I remember it from all the cool on-road cars featured in the magazines growing up but I never saw any in person. living out here in the country it was all off-road and I didn't know anyone running on-road then. So it will be fun digging into that one. I want to get a period looking body and give it a cool 90s paint scheme as well! Lots and lots of tinkering to do!

      Yes, the Arrma ones are so great at going out and blowing off some steam with them! I can run 2s and drive it with some sense or toss in a 3s and aerate the lawn with it! I am looking forward to getting to work on the XXX S, I remember them from the magazine s back in the day but being a country kid there was nowhere for me to run one so it was just a cool on to see in the ads and articles. Now it will be cool to get it back in working order and get out and run one. I need to get some stuff and a body for it. I want to try and do a cool 90s paint scheme on it too, something that would look right at home in a old copy of RC Car Action!

    I didn't know the typhon was in that bad of shape when I sent it to you I'm sorry
    The stock shocks leaked even more than the aluminum ones that's why I replaced them on this RC and the senton and the granite
    The plastic cover for the back of the losi XXXS was in the box It's clear so it might be hard to see
    I love that you showed absolutely everything I sent you I'm sitting there going he's not going to talk about the spinner but you did and you also mentioned the $60 I sent you that was to cover the shipping of you sending me the ryft

    • @AddamsPlayground
      @AddamsPlayground  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No worries at all, the was just enough water sitting in the diff housing (drops not a puddle) to rust them up. I didn't mind tearing into and fixing a few things, I got very lucky to find that guy on eBay selling stuff at good prices, much better than retail! The other bits were more preventative maintenance type of stuff. I had fun digging into it and getting it shined back up some. Now it is ready to tear up my yard when I get time to rip it around. So far I have not had any issues from my stock shocks but these were so cheap I grabbed them to put on there. I am definitely keeping the others and will tinker with them some more to try and keep them from twisting loose. I think some thicker o-rings may be the winning ticket.
      I will triple check everything, it my be stuck in the box and I missed it. If it is just clear lexan I can make a new one if needed. That was a really cool surprise in there and I look forward to getting that one rebuilt. I need to find a body and a cool paint scheme for it like the ones I saw in the magazines back in the day, they always had the coolest paint jobs!
      I do appreciate everything in there and you overdid it but again, I am grateful for it and I am very happy you are happy to have the Ryft! Take care and have a great week, check your email....

Sorry to hear the Big Rock is kind of a thorn to deal with. It does take the fun out of it even before something happens. That is why I parked the Ryft, it couldn't break if I didn't drive it! I would say I'd trade you for the Big Rock but with the shipping to AU it would be as cheap to go buy one! LOL! I swear UPS thinks you all live on Mars! Take care Mark and have a great week mate!

For wet weather running it is important to dry them off or use the bushings in them! The rubber sealed bearing I guy seem to be so much better than stock bearing as well, no issues from them yet but I do try and avoid the wet and the muck as much as possible! Take care James!

I love the Typhon and I have a feeling this holiday season they are going to have some really great sales on them this year. I think things have slowed down some and they are sitting on a lot of stock so I think there are going to be some great sales. Just a hunch but keep an eye open when the black Friday stuff starts happening!

      LOL! Right? I wish I could do the same, I just got in a new Kyosho kit last week and there is another cool new kit showing up this Friday. I am so far behind but it is probably the coolest "problem" I have ever had! LOL! There are probably a few others here that could get moved on but it is not a priority yet, I am not out of room quite yet! LOL! We both got fun stuff to tinker on and moved out things sitting around our hobby rooms taking up space. It was a win-win!

    Wouldn't the thread take you put on threaded water line fittings work on the shocks? Maybe locktite if nothing else?

    • @AddamsPlayground
      @AddamsPlayground  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thread tape could possibly work, not sure if the oil would break it down or not . Thread lock may be a permanent solution, I might not be able to get them apart again. I have a couple other ideas, I think a slightly thicker o-ring would help, the ones on there are very thin profile and I don't think compress much at all. The o-ring compressing would add the little bit of tension on the threads to help hold them in place and create a better seal. When I found the stock ones on sale for $19 for a full set I just grabbed them for an immediate fix and I will tinker around with these later.

    Ok so as an old skool hobby guy who still runs mardave stuff. Dont "crimp" the top of your shocks to stop them coming loose. A lap of ptfe tape, a smear of paint, a wee blob of blutack or even a dab of the wifes nail polish will do if you cant get your hands on any thread locking compound.

    • @AddamsPlayground
      @AddamsPlayground  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I did not have any ptfe tape handy and the treads are soo loose on there it needed something drastic. I thought of thread lock but I was not sure how "forever" that may end up being! I will pick up some ptfe tape next time I am at the hardware store. Thanks for the tips.

    • @AddamsPlayground
      @AddamsPlayground  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah the bodies just want to twist and loosen up when you cycle the suspension. It does not happen quickly but over the course of a full run I can see one more of them loosening up to the point they would leak. These bigger, more powerful ones are not my normal but they are great fun from time to time. I treat the Tamiya and Kyosho kits fairly gently and these big tough ones I take out and beat on without worrying about breaking anything! Take care my friend and have a great weekend!

I typically only go on there when I am bored waiting in a DR's office or something to scroll through and see the silly prices on things and then when I list something for a very reasonable price I get offered pennies on the dollar! I have done decent on eBay when selling parts but full kits it is not as easy and a lot riskier! At this point trades or just giving them away is easier!

    I have a Senton 3s brushless truck and i have gone through 2 sets of front stock Arrma shocks on it. And i haven't even jumped it or really bashed it hard. But the shock shafts kept bending. So i put the Pro-Line front rear one on and have no issue. But the one major issue i did have was my ESC started to go out on me. And that is the stock one that you have in yours as well. I guess it's a common thing. I put a Quicrun 10BL120 in there to replace it. So that leads me to a question to you or anyone who watches this. Do you know of a mount that can be used with that Quicrun? Because 2 sided tape will not hold it to the top of the steering servo cover. Any help on this would be great. And the Typhons are a blast! You should get a Typhon Grom and really have fun.

    • @AddamsPlayground
      @AddamsPlayground  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I guess I have been lucky and have not broken any of mine yet and none have showed signs of leaking. Now my Senton has not run too much as it sits out in the garage and is not one I go out ad grab too often. My granite I beaten the snot out of and have broken drive shafts and stuff but no shock issues (knocks on wood)! I have heard the stock ESCs do have some issues, I cannot remember if it was certain versions or just in general. Do you have the small 10BL120 or the larger G2 version? (it is dumb they have two with the same part number!) For the small one I cannot think of anything other than servo tape to use. For the other one since it has a more rigid fan housing you could drill two small hole in the receiver box on each side of the ESC and run a zip tie around it through the holes in the lid to help hold it in place along with the servo tape. I mean you could try it with the small on but it may interfere with the fan as there is not shroud covering it. I do have a Typhon Grom and it is a fun one. I need to get it back out for a rip!

      @@AddamsPlayground Ya i have the G2 version. There are two holes predrilled into the bottom of it and i am told Hobbywing is the only place to get the mount from. But i look on their site and they dont have anything. And so far my local Hobbytown hasn't really done any help to help me find one. And i dont wanna drill into the servo housing since that is waterproof. There has got to be a mount for the G2 out there that relocates it between the motor and the servo housing as im told thats what most people do. And my Sentons ESC went out in less than 2 years and i only had 4 5 runs with it.

      I have done that in the past but since I had them on hand I would rather replace them to not have to worry about them blowing out while running. If they were hard to find ones then I would clean them up but the piece of mind is worth the 10-15 bucks in bearings!
