Still love the car, but am a little concerned about the breakage that has been happening. I guess I need to order up some rear hing pin mounts too. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 The paint looks great, can't tell that it was done quickly. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 I'm really digging the scale garage backdrop Ty...very cool touch "thumbsup" |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 good evening everybody... do please pardon my english, still learning on how to use this language.. my country of origin is in Indonesia (located in south east asia for those who might ask where it is) ;-) just a few months ago I sumble on this thread by mr. Turtle and I looked around astounded by the paint works you've done.. while I was lookin' for a DF03ra set-up the kit were not widely available at the time, then I saw the VX-01 kit.. I'm interested in the rally version because of the terrain available here around my neighboorhod (aspalt + gravel + dirt), so I ordered one after a carefull thought I've build the sexy thing in 3 three weeks, coz I can only build it right after works and in the weekend :oops: it's a slow process but I do appreciate the time needed. in short.. after bein' inspired by Turte's paint job, I tried it myself.. and now I now how to applied it [spoiler=don't peek]http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11254432.jpg[/spoiler] [spoiler=another view]http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11254461.jpg http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...0/11254462.jpg [/spoiler] I ordered the standard version, well coz it's the only kit available of course. Slowly I'll manage to upgrade it little by little.. the slip clutch is on it's way right now well I guess that's the introduction for now.. thank you for a great thread by the way... |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Thanks guys! "thumbsup" Had to go through the XV01 today and add a couple more metal parts just to make sure she stays together tomorrow. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3467small.jpg Replaced all toe blocks with metal now. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3472small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3471small.jpg And went ahead and threw the extra grippy Academy rally tires on. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3470small.jpg I didn't have time to make an underbody or an interior and because we had some snow fall the other day I went ahead and added some more rubber to keep the dirt out. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3474small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3475small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3476small.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._3473small.jpg Between the rubber and body now the wheel wells are basically sealed. First race of the Colorado Rally Championship is tomorrow morning at the 40th street track, should be tons of fun. -Ty |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 I just did some digging and found a bunch of metal parts, not sure if you guys have seen these but here they are. I am still on the look out for some metal steering parts if anyone finds some. A yeah Racing kit; http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ya-upgrade.jpg A arms, shock towers and knuckles http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...xv01-002_4.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ck-tower-4.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...xv01-009_4.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...xv01-007-4.jpg http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...nuckle-arm.jpg One-way http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...str116xv01.jpg Locker http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...IMG_090611.jpg Its cool to see a lot of support coming out for this car. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 I just recently ordered the Drive Belt & Slipper Clutch Set from RCmart.. coz many of the parts for XV-01 are not (yet) available here in Indonesia.... huuffft.. the price on rcmart is a bargain but the shipping cost + custom are a bit high for me :cry: I did looked up the yeah racing package and it's a must for hopup oooyea got a few questions, how much affect does the alumunium suspension mount compared to the plastic one? about the differential locker, what does it do compared to the stock plastic gears? any side effect? |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Quote:
There have been several people that have broken the stock plastic toe blocks (generally the equivalent to Tamiya 1XJ). So because of seeing and hearing about these breaking I decided to replace them before there was an issue. I am sure there are other reasons to replace them, but I did it for durability. If you are referring to shock towers and A arms: They will make the shock towers more rigid, which creates more precise handling. Personally though, unless I start breaking them have no plans to buy the metal A arms or shock towers, seems like over kill to me and I don't think it will add all that much in handling. Quote:

Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 thanks for the simple explanation.. "thumbsup" now I understand more.. |
Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 last night I installed the Slipper Clutch Set to my XV-01.. but then I stumble upon another puzzle :roll: after I reassemble the kit I noticed a difference in a high pitch whining noise coming from the slipper clutch & pinion gear housing, and when I tried to move the front two wheels together it doesn't move as freely as before.. :???: then I reset the contact distance between the Spur and Pinion gear, it gives me a reasonable movement again.. at the same time I fiddle with the adjustment of Slipper Screw and the Lock Nut and came up with around 2.5 - 3mm. I used the 22T stock Pinion Gears though.. does it contribute to the problem I had? coz I read at the instruction it suggest be use with a 48 pitch Pinion Gear (24 - 29T) thank you for the reply.. |

You need to buy a 48 pitch pinion. "thumbsup" |

Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 Very cool, love seeing people really getting into rally. Did you guys get any video? I'd love to see some vids of the DRXs on the course. |
