Added xr mod the steering section

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

any reason these lockouts wouldnt work?
Actually looks like the axles are quite different. For some reason i thought those were an interchangeable part.

Gen2 I'm unsure but I know this will work and a couple bucks cheaper to boot.

Gen 2 axles and gen 1 axles axle housing and shafts are only different

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Yup I just got those in. Still debating what to do. I am gonna do another one so might just beef up one and then swap axles on another.

RC4wd now has aluminum bumper mounts for the Barrage. Also shows Trail Finder 2 bumpers that are compatible.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Nice find and 12.99 for front and rear bumper mounts is a deal.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Is this a RC4WD typo??

thinking it should have been front "OR" rear for 12 bucks.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

What's Included:
1x Front and Rear Bumper Mount for ECX Barrage

And everywhere else on that page it says both.

That's a big typo.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Order now. I’m not at work today to see if it’s in the system like that. Will find out tomorrow.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

I see no typo ... it's $12.99 the bumper mount that can be used indifferently on front and rear, not $12.99 the pair of bumper mounts ;-)

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

AND is not OR. order that shizzle then call them out if its just one mount.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

"1 front and rear mount." Not "One Pair of front and rear mounts."

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

My barrage is long past bumper mounts. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I think its one of those potato/potahto things IMHO.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Just wanted to make a note that pinion gears between Gen 2 Barrages w/ 390 motor are not compatible w/ Gen 1 370 Motor Pinion gears. The 390 motor shaft does not seem to be a common size as my other pinions gears for 540/550 motors are too big for it. Anyone know the exact size? Or I have a Axial 40t 380 from yeti Jr w/ pinion gear I will see if fits.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Thanks for clarifying this, hobbyjumper. I attempted to drill out pinion from a smaller 370 motor shift to fit the 390 shaft, but the bit walked and drilled off center. So much for that.

It amazes me how smooth the crawling is at 0 throttle DR. I tried the pinion too but went right back to stock.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

So, if I understand well... you said you already tried the Latrax 370 28T motor and/or the Axial 380 40T and that you were disappointed by the result ?

Shame, I wanted to try those in my rig... :oops:

(couldn't find your build video)

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Anyone have luck with finding parts anywhere? Specifically looking for lockers and frame rails but it looks like everything is out of stock / discontinued.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Locker have been hard to find for a long time. I seen a frame rail set on eBay but the front was like a scx10. When the stock is not.

Re: Hillbilly's barrage upgrade bible!
 

Redcat spools are on Amazon and from Redcat too but I'm sure it will run out again.

I finally tried 3s lipo today. I am using a Gens Ace 3s 2200 lipo from my Align Trex 450 pro!

Before that I used a Thunder Power 2s 2250 that a friend gave me. Either one works well but I have two of the 3s lipos to use. I'll be bringing both so I can run for 3 hrs or more.

My 2s lipo will be used as a Rx battery for my Align Trex 550e now.
