Ansmann buggy gallery
Havent seen a gallery here so thought I might start one.
Heres mine. Started with a stock Madrat Im sure you are all familar with it but will post a pic anyway, with an ezrun combo + HK controller Now I have a Team C TC02/ X-PRO tekin motor HK esc but looking for a better one (as it doesn't really fit, let me know if you have one available) and have a spektrum DX3E TX/RX 35W oil Kyosho yellow springs 3A/3B piston KO PS-2113 from tyreman thanks What do you think about the mounting of the esc?? Its the only place I can put it as its too big for the right hand side Im waiting for panther slicks for the car so I can drive it like I stole it at our carpet track at the local I had an extra green original body was going to paint it black but that ran out so it became red. going to have black windows later |

Here's mine
nothing special, just the old tank of a Master Smacker i used for the Ardent winter series, not expecting to win much with it but my aim is just to not come last. Fitted with 9t /35a ezrun system (was contemplating a 5.5/60a system), basic Futaba S3004 servo & the competition regulation mini-pin tyres on Fastrax rims (the only ones i could get to fit because of the off-set) with blue inserts, running Spektrum DX3S radio gear. The only other changes i made were i fitted an ARE-1 spur gear (2 teeth less) because i stripped the kit one during the 1st run - (tip: don't follow the manual when meshing, put the top deck on before meshing the spur), plus i fitted a Tamiya pinion because the kit one weighs a fair bit & i've also changed the shock oil to Schumacher 30wt & fitted rubber collars inside the dampers on the shock-shaft to limit the travel to help with landing & to stop squat when i nail the throttle. I also tried springs on the rear from the Tamiya kit shocks of my DF-02 buggy. the kit springs really need to be softer as there is a lot of rebound as you land the car off a big jump, but it's just finding ones that will fit. Plus a few changes to what the manual suggested were fitting the steering with pivot balls from the ARE-1 kit which aren't shouldered otherwise if you use the ones from the kit with the shouldered pivots, the steering linkage fouls & limits the travel. will post a pic of the Mad-rat i've recently got when i get round to building it. I also have an Ansmann ARE-1 touring car but i won't bore you with that. |

My 1st X pro with the mad rat bodies (Not new)
The inside with SP GT 1.1and 10.5 SP I was really with the 1st one so I buy a another but a new one I haven't picture with electronic instalation. But in putt a robitnic ESC 8.5 and motor 10.5 robitronic too. After i see the kit transformation, so i take my 1st X pro for a lifting I change the motor for 10.5 robitronic an a low profil servo. And in last i buy the X2 TE, so i take the electronic of the 2nd X pro (know for space part) 1st for X2TE this week end

Looking good mate. To be honest you don't need a cooling fan on your esc when running 2wd. If you removed the fan would it fit on the RHS? should then give a lower C of G and more even weight distribution.

Thats what I was thinking but it being a hobbyking esc and the fact that I burt a 35A $15 dollar one after 2 runs around the track.
This esc is not much better I think being a 60A $30 one. If I did remove the fan I think the rx and switch connectors might rub but those I can solder in place ( Thats an idea) Ill test it as it is tomorrow at the track and ask a couple others there but would like feedback from others about not needing a fan. Not that I don't trust ya Chris just nice with more input |

What motor were you running on that speedo to blow it? I know very few people who attach a fan to their 2wd speedo as overheating is rarely an issue. If it is then cutting a couple of vent holes in the shell often works - quite common in 4wd cars.

In the photos is what I am pretty much running today. The car was kit standard apart from a slight mod on the back end to get more anti-squat. Electrics wise it has a savox servo, LRP SPX (I usually run a Nosram but I left it in my spare car) LRP X12 6.5(Which is a bit hot for 2wd but it is the only 6.5 I have ) and my trusty two year old team orion 4800s. Only things I have changed since then are I am running 30 degree alloy caster blocks on the front and also a rubebits under servo weight. The X-pro was excellent at the weekend and was the only rear mounted 2wd car in the A final at West bridgford I think.
