Higher number, higher speed (according to other posters) couldnt verify it personally yet.
As all my orders are still in transit.

Yeah that's right. I got the 300 and the 150, the 150 gives awesome crawl speeds and the 300 is a little quicker but nowhere near as much torque.

Just be aware that the upgraded gears, driveshafts and axles leave a weak point in the in UJ's...

Banggood are send out a replacement at least.

fitting the upgrade metal axle set

Went for the axle upgrade when ordering the car kit. Went to start building today but didn't get very far as I got stuck in first step! Skipped the axle assembly stages and the metal ones come pre-assembled only to find that I can't get the servo mount assembly to fit onto the axle!
The holes for the screws on the stock plastic mount don't line up with the ones of axle diff cover!
Any help appreciated!!

I'm sure a picture would help. But.. There is no plastic servo mount on the metal axles.

Sorry not at home at the moment. Ah I get it, so where does the servo mount now? Wish there was instructions for the upgrade parts!

 

[joely]

This should help ya out

Think I saw an instruction picture for mounting a servo on the alloy axles on Banggood or in a post in this thread from the manufacturer

 

[Shaggy33]

Thanks guys, that's fantastic. Really appreciate the help!

I posted mine on Tamiyabase.com
But that's still in progress, waiting for some Banggood deliveries.

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.

I build wrangler rubicon on the parts Orlando and CNc axles.
but I can not paste the photos here

Did anyone the stock length for the long links (from axle to bottom of chassis). They are the number 11 links in manual and 33mm long when assembled (not including ballends).
I have just tried to fit them and they are way to long!!! Not much thread left to shorten them!

Upd

Anyone else not getting the links/pics in last post?

Yeah. Putin is blocking them.

Cheers - they're Losi Micro DT's, you need two sets as you can only modify the rears(?) for the sharts to fit.

Unfortunately it's back off the road as one of the UJ's has sheared off during the second battery through it - back to Banggood to see if they'll have a replacement...

Hi! What modification is needed to fit those Losi wheels?

Try to open a new tab or window.
I'm sorry but I can not add attachments.

You need to use two packets of Micro-DT wheels and I think I've modified the rear wheels all round the truck.

The first thing you do is snip off the lug on the face of the wheel so that the axle would be able to take the wheel nut, then on the inside use a scalpel to create the slot for the axle - once I worked out the process it only took 5 minutes to finish each corner.

I tried that and it works! Im glad you said that. That is some nice brass work! I love the front bumper!
