Ok. I guess I have the 120. I drove mine for the first time on my spot I have for the Losi micro. for the size this truck goes awesome.

desperately needs more wheel speed and taller tires. I am for sure getting the alloy axels to help with ground clearance. any little bit will help.

So where is all the build pic being posted for the orlandoo? I want to see what ideas people come up with on this little truck.

Did you coat it in plastic or Plastidip? Is that only paint?

This spray paint, first a primer and then the matte black and Tamiya ts 80 flat clear

Very nice job on the whole thing.

This picture makes it look like the coating is thick rubber or something:

Ok so I received the linkages that are supposed to go with metal axle set but they're too short!
So I've got stock links which are too long and new ones which are too short. I just can't seem to work out why the metal axle set changes the geometry so much. If I set the lower links to the approx correct length the upper ones are way off and vice versa if I try the other way round.
I'm not sure how 'out' the axles are supposed to be from the middle of chassis, in other words what angle should the shocks be at...? Vertical or bottom of shock slightly further out than top I guess.
Can someone do me a huge favour and measure their links from inside ball end to inside ball end.
I've built literally hundreds of RC vehicles but this one has got me stumped!

[waterbok]

Some quality issues.

So I kinda like this fiddly little car, and was mainly expecting problems with the kit itself.
Sofar not much to complain there.
On the other hand the electronics.
- ESC from HK, had to correct the soldering as + and signal on the servo plug were connecting
- Servo from BG, loose wire inside the servo housing.
- N20 120 rpm motor from BG, pinion was loose on the motor.

Solved but its all so tiny.

Next is getting it all together inside the car hope all stays intact.

My top are 22mm and bottom are 32mm from end of thread to end of thread.

[Shaggy33]

Thanks joely. So the ball ends are covering all the thread (Ie wound all the way in?)

No, not the top ones. They have a few threads. I have covers on my bottom ones so can't really tell but pretty sure they're the same deal.

There's a couple of new wheel rims available on Banggood - got a set of the second link on their way from China...

Little bit more expensive, but are made out of metal. Nice

anyone tried Tamiya 1/32 bodies on these?

116mm wheelbase
58mm track width

Those tamiya bodies are probably too small, it's an excellent chassis for smaller 1/24 vehicles though.

Harasho!

Very nice!

[Brake Weight]

Looks good. Will the Losi 1/24 wheels mount to the axles?

[Stas]

This standard wheel from Orlando. Losi big

[TownsendTdi]

I wanted to build another one of these with a losi esc/reciever combo but the servo transfer lines that drop the voltage are no longer being carried by banggood, and I can't find any more in stock. I'd rather not try to make my own- I don't know anything about capacitors or where to put them. Anyone know a source or have one laying around you'd like to sell? Thanks
