Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 How ironic that I should go back on Amain and Amazon since it has been a few days. Looks like the rear axle is on Amain and the lower links are on Amazon. I was able to bend the original axle back and glued the link, but figured that was a temporary fix at best. |

Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Got the battery trays from Shape_Shifter and they were easy to install.

Where did you get your little velcro strap? It's the perfect size. |

If I were looking for a different size strap, however, I’d start in the cable section of my local guitar shop. |

Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Yikes!! That's a bummer, they do work well even though they are huge and don't look scale, but IDK about that price. Hopefully the new plastic shocks won't be more prone to leaking. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 I have to say the more I drive this rig the more I like it. Especially with the Cr-18 tires and 70 turn motor and this body should bring the center of mass down and looks great to boot. I'll be picking one of these up for sure. I will miss those shocks though, but hopefully they kept the same design. |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Hi all, I've been following this thread as I'm interested in a small scale crawler. I've looked at the RC4WD, the SCX24 and now the Tetra. I'm leaning toward the Tetra, but wanted to know if anyone has had any luck reducing the speed with a different motor (since changing the pinion or trans gearing doesn't seem to be an option). If so, can you point me to a motor? I have a few mini-z's, but not sure if these motors will fit or if they will achieve a slower speed. Thank you! |

Everything is an option with some basic modelling skills. Simply slotting the motor holes can make a smaller pinion work. |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 What kind of tires and wheels did you put on. Im looking for something bigger to match the larger body. The original tires look puny on it. Thx |

IMO, like most ring and pinion crawlers the transmission needs lots more gear reduction. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Hey guys, i'm looking for advice to help with more torque. Has anyone found any plug and play solutions for this. A higher torque motor, pinion, etc. I love the way this thing looks and rides on trails. It just doesn't crawl like my scx24, aside from being too top heavy, it's jumpy on throttle. any part numbers or sites would really be helpful. im new to this hobby and not there yet to fabricate parts. looking for off the shelf bolt/replace. Thx for your help in advance. |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 It will almost never crawl like the SCX24. The worm gears in the SCX24 allow for better gearing and drag brake. Unless you could get a fully programmable ESC, which I am not sure they make for this scale, you will never get the same drag brake the worm gears give. Even if you could get as much drag brake thru the ESC, you would likely bur un these small motors. The worm gears do it with no demand on the motor. The Panda is however, a great little rig and has many pros over the SCX24. Oil filled shocks, greater wheel speed, stronger servo, better scale. Just enjoy it for what it is. |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Hello everyone! I'm new to the RC world and very happy to have discovered this hobby during these times. I have a Kyosho Mini-Z 4x4, an Axial SCX24 and the Panda Tetra K1. They each have their strengths and weaknesses... The Panda seems to have a lot of potential but I find it quite frustrating that the modulation is as poor as it is. Based on research, this was an improved version over their first attempt which had even worse modulation. Has anyone successfully resolved or at the very least significantly improved the modulation on the Panda? I don't expect it to be as smooth as the Kyosho, but come on, it's a bit silly to call this a crawler in it's out of the box state. Don't get me wrong, I do love it for what it is, but I would love to improve the user experience and crawling ability. In my opinion, it's biggest weakness is the lack of modulation ability. Again, any solutions would be very much appreciated. |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Any upgrades exist for the Panda trucks Tetra X1? I was driving it a lot stock and it was ok, really low torque but it seemed to do ok. Then I installed stickier RC4WD tires and immediately stripped out the pinion gear. Seems like this truck must remain stock and once you introduce even a slightly higher amount of load it strips out. Also worried about the axles breaking or transmission or something else if I do find metal gear upgrades. Is this truck a dead-end? My local hobby shop specifically recommended it because of all the "upgrade options" but that seems to be untrue. |

What hobby shop sold it to you? Colpars? |
Re: Panda Hobby Tera X1 Amain carries some stock parts as well as Amazon, they May have the upgrades but I usually only see them on the panda hobby website which ships some parts from over seas Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk |
