tried 40wt shock oil..... basically no difference. Ordered heavier springs... just waiting for them now. Tried to outboard the shocks....rear kept binding up and tires hit the shock when articulated at full lock

Sorry Bob, I thought 40w would do it for you. I still have some roll going on but nothing compared to how it was with the stock water filled shocks. Outboarding seemed to me a lost cause for just the reasons you mentioned.

My lady loves VW's so I'm working on this body for her Barrage. Don't hate on my styrene skills I have a lot of bondo and sanding in front of me . Making slow progress on the window bus Way too quiet around here Retired the bus body to build this I made a set of boat sides to mount it, held together with velcro instead of screws. Kamtec makes the body, lots of cool stuff on their website. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BAY-WINDOW-...rm3SQ7NUZea08w. You'll need to stretch the body close to 2". Loved the look but it was a pain to dial in the suspension and very top heavy. I mounted the body a low as possible to counter that a bit, cut the hell outta the fenders and added 60wt shock oil and bic springs to the shafts. Made a huge difference but I still wasn't happy with it so I threw in the towel. That same setup with the bug body out crawls my scx10. Last edited by THX_138; 07-10-2018 at 12:06 AM. |

So yet another version has popped up forsale. This one is under the RGT/HSP name but it has the features from the new Barrage kit with the 390 motor and shocks outside the chassis rails. BUT it also now has scale axles and CMS. I've just ordered one. $230 Aust $$ to my door rtr. http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/18272751102...07&_mwBanner=1 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

Has anyone had luck using Axial axle housings on their Barrage/RGT? I want to move the shocks completely outside, but found before I even attempted it that the tires would catch in steering and in flex. Only way I figured I could solve that would be to stretch the axles out a bit further, and just get some fender flares to keep the tires from looking so far on the outside of the body. I'm always around, and been looking at what's going on in all the various threads, I dig it!

| Re: 1.9 Barrage RTR 1/10 Crawler Hey nice find! Now to bash ECX I have had some bad experience with ECX vehicles in the beginning. Their "Dynamite" esc's were constantly blowing up, the batteries sucked and the servos died in days. The compounds for the tires were a little "plasticy" and their plastic was a little "rubbery" Also they like to load a hobby shop up with their vehicles (ECX/Vaterra) and supporting parts then promptly slash the kits price, blow them out retail and stop production. I knew quite a few shops that were stuck holding all these spares :( And why the hell does Horizon Hobby who makes/owns spektrum not put the same in all their brands of vehicles? |

The problem with ECX vehicles and Spektrum radios is ECX vehicles seem to be imported directly from Chinese companies that tend to supply several different manufacturers with nearly identical cars. Horizon is a bit too possessive of Spektrum to let a third party install them in vehicles even if it is vehicles they are buying to rebrand as ECX.

Spektrum gear is expensive and the ECX range is their budget line. Mostly rebadged HSP stuff. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

And more pics with measurements. Wheelbase. Hex to hex width. Outside of tyre width. Chassis width and chassis length. Also a comparison between real TSL Super Swampers next to the knock offs. Knock offs are taller. An option of a leaf spring kit and the Tamiya Pajero hard body I will most likely use on it. Oh and the diff spools. They are plastic. I have already ordered the alloy upgrades. HSP part number 680010. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |

Good looking axles on that, much more up to the times then the cloned MRC axles.

Well, finally broke something on the Barrage. Left front wheel slipping and losing drive. Pin is in place. Seems the CV drive is spinning in the differential. Cannot tell why. Disassembled part of the differential housing. Axle turns and other wheels do not turn . Little resistance and definitely not locked! Trying to figure out what parts to order. May have to talk with tech help tomorrow, Servo still OK! Any advise why the axle is turning in the differential? Pete Last edited by Peterv; 09-06-2017 at 10:36 PM. Reason: spelling |
