Well that was an expensive day on the water, with 2 brand new batteries now cooked, losing the hatch and having to invest a couple of hundred dollars in some hopefully decent replacement batteries and parts… will definitely be securing the new top hach better and possibly purchasing some different props to try out on this UDIRC 022 TYLOSAURUS, but at least all those parts will also work on my second UDIRC 005 ARROW Speedboat as well.
Wasn’t too concerned about the aesthetics of losing the smoke/clear top hatch, but it does provide a second layer of waterproofing and the shape is also designed to assist with the self righting function… and after submarining it TWICE today about 150 metres offshore, I do think that it’s definitely important to have a new one refitted rather than losing the whole Boat!
Looking the goods, tight fit. They won’t be rolling off the rim in a hurry.
Got some longer screws to pull the halves together evenly, then I was in business.
Try them without foams to start with as it’s not a fast basher truck see how they go. They might not stand up but I can whack the foams in if so. After a bit of belly and flex in those tyres.
I was impressed with them in your first pics still in their packaging!
Definitely great quality and good looking gear for the price compared to what we would have had to pay for such Rims/Tyres back in the old days.
Really interesting video that only confirms my prior comments, along with the reasons why I always measure Ohm resistance in all my batteries from brand new, only charge at half C ratings, always storage charge and have my chargers set to 2.1V per cell.
The rims, yes the machining and dimensions are faultless, screws seem to be stainless as don’t stick to a magnet. Don’t need to be cranked to 80ft/lbs anyway The Injora driver made short work of the many.
I’ll have to watch that battery vid. I’ve always stuck to 1P charging and mostly balance. ie if it’s a 3300Mah lipo set the max charge amps to 3.3amps.
Some come 2p rated so can charge that one at 6.6A technically but I don’t bother. Not in that much of a hurry while I get everything else organised. Don’t leave fully charged Lipo’s for more than 24hrs, bring up or down to storage charge of 3.8v per cell.
Not following the charger set of 2.1V per cell perhaps you could elaborate when you get time.
wtf I’m a long way from there.
