Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Awesome air shots! Body looks good with the rear spoiler on, compared to the box art with none. |

Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Thats pretty bad ass, you bringing some toys to NWSC's so I can see them? |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 This is pretty sick. That paint job is just awsome!"thumbsup" |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Looks like you were putting it to task my man, great shots! Ty do you or were you running with the cover over the ESC? If so what were temps like and would a fan be a good idea? Thanks. |

Oh yeah it got jumped probably 50 times and there was not a single issue. I was running the cover on the electronics and it did get a little hot (as far as I could tell through the plastic). I have been thinking of mounting a fan directly to the cover on the outside similar to how I mounted it on my Exo Terra, that system should help with the cooling. I haven't decided if I am going to mount it straight on the box or a build a little "tower" so it is harder for water and mud to get it... |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Great writeup so far Ty...Glad to hear this thing is as good as many thought! A few questions.. 1. How do you like that servo? I was thinking about the Savox SC-1258TG. It's not much faster than the 1251MG, and I don't think torque is that big of a deal. I like the low profile of the 1251 so I might go that direction. 2. Being belt drive, does this car have any way to overdrive the front or rear to suit your driving style? |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
1. I really like the 1251mg. I have had one in the XV-01, XXX-S, TB01, rally legends car and the Mini Trophy truck. I have never had an issue with any of them. For cars this size I think it works perfect. Plus the extra room it leaves in the chassis is never a bad thing. 2. That is a possibility, currently though Im not sure if there are any different gears, maybe after some research some other drive gears would fit. Plus you never know what Tamiya will offer in the future. I would be interested in trying though. Not sure if it is needed, but interested nonetheless. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Nice write-up, Ty, sign me up with the rest for lusting after one of these. Too bad Tower doesn't offer Easy-Pay yet, or maybe that's a good thing... The paint scheme looks killer as always especially paired w that Yoko decal and covered in dirt :mrgreen: Quote:

Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Thanks Ty!!! I have a kit coming from my LHS and can't wait to dive in. I've been watching the Global RallyCross Championship series (http://www.global-rallycross.com) and I think I'm going to start a point series here in Utah. Just a simple tarmac type track with jumps, dirt and water corners and a bracket style racing format. I love these stupid cars LOL!!!! 8) Quote:

Awesome! We also race with a double elimination bracket style using the IPhone/Ipod/Ipad app called Bracket buddy. It works really well and makes things really easy. If you need any help let me know! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with."thumbsup" |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Do those little internal wheel wells actually do anything? |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Wow - I missed the actions shots - simply awesome! You've convinced me to put the wing on mine - it looks 100% better with it. |

I got to play with the suspension this afternoon. Ride height: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._9301small.jpg Full droop: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._9302small.jpg I went to a 3.5" shock in the rear and mounted it where the body mount mounts. The shock sits at 3" eye to eye. Stock shock is next to it. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._9306small.jpg I cut down some Losi Black springs for the front and rear shocks, the springs are 1.2LB. I changed out the front shocks too, the new front shocks are only 2.5" eye to eye, I don't have room to go up on the front shocks so I will see how these do tomorrow and go from there. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 I know you are more dirt oriented, and I saw you said you had it on the tarmac, but have you put slicks on this yet, and if so how does the motor in front like the pavement? |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 How wide is the battery tray in that bad boy? Is it bigger than the DF03? |

There is enough room side to side to stick the wires on the side of the lipo and enough room end to end to put all the wiring (with deans plug) on the end. Plus it is a square shape made for lipo batteries. |
