This sounds very annoying. I'd just go for a motor/esc combo, like the Fusion SE. The added waterproof rating is a bonus too.

I had a reciver issue with no drive and a light flashing, turned out it was wet inside the housing. So dried it out, wrapped it in a balloon, resealed the box and a blob of grease on the incoming wires.
Now it's ready for underwater driving 😂

I'll take this if you can post?

Small updates to mine.

New bodyshell as the pajero had split in half. This one doesn't fit the Trx4 chassis that well, but it's alright.

Stuck a metal Yeah Racing spur gear in it with the slipper clutch eliminator.

And changed out the tyres for some J Concept Ruptures. Really soft and tacky.

I wondered about those, my mate keeps telling me they're on sale.

Random one, but if anyone has or has anything similar to a Steamroller, Brother All Day etc. In 59-62 cm size.

I'm looking at building a monster tracklocross frame, but thought if there was any broken bikes out there I could chop the rear end out of it would save me some time in the build.

Let me know guys.

Patch.

I will have to check that. From memory I think only the front is.

More photos.

Had this thing a few years now. Originally purchased it for a birthday fancy dress bike ride. But it's been sat in a dry shed since then.

I know it's a Dawes, no idea on what model or age. Pretty sure the paint is non original.

It measures up, Seat Tube C-T 58 and Top Tube C-C 58 for the Captain. Seat Tube C-T 55 and Top Tube C-C 60 for the stoker.

Me and my mate who rode it were 6'6" and 5"9' to give you some idea.

It's got a triple on the front, 6 on the cassette. Canti brakes plus the drum brake on the back. They all could do with a service.

Some of the bar tape is missing, but it's as old as the hills anyway.

Just need it gone as moving house and no space to store it. Plus I never ride the thing.

Collection from either DY7 or WR6 area. Can possibly deliver around the Worcestershire area but only midweek.

Looking for £150 ono

Patch.

My light bar is mounted inside the shell, shining through the front window, and then one behind the bumper.
Mine is 100% for night time driving though.

This was the bar, super bright.

Honestly the Traxxas is indestructible. I've had it rolling end over end down embankments and nothing yet has snapped. I'm not one of these try and catch it when it rolls over type of people.

I'm not sure, 2nd gear on it still has a fair bit of go in it. But then it's all geared down so hard to say.

Low end and reverse is ultra smooth though, it's definitely worth the upgrade. If I built another I'd go for the 2200kv though, bit more money but even slower and smoother on the throttle.

This is everything I can remember.

Traxxas Trx4 Kit Version (Comes with 2 speed gearbox and remote locking differentials and you get the fun of building it from scratch)

Carisma SCA-1E XL Pajero Body Shell (very cut down to clear the wheels and approach angles)

Fastrax Aluminium Motor Mount

Traxxas 9t Pinion gear (to drop the speed down)

Traxxas Diff Spools (to permanently lock both diffs)

Hobbywing Quinrun Fusion 1800kv Motor (Turns so bloody slowly it's ridiculous, also has the esc built in, waterproof with a 7.4v BEC output.)

Custom led light bars (super bright, run off the receiver and modified to work with the remote switch that used to lock the diffs)

SRT W45 Waterproof steering servo (standard traxxas servo is about 9kg of torque, this is 45kg and can run at 8.4v)

Jumper cable to run servo direct from the battery.

Yeah Racing Low Centre Gravity Battery Plate.

Injora Deep Dish steel bead lock rims (these also have 60g of weights glued in the front wheels)

Injora Underdrive gears 10/35t (dropping the speed down even more, I may overdrive the front to help with climbing soon)

Injora Dual Stage Foams

And then Brassssss lots of brass.

Injora Front bumper with servo mount (moves weight forward and down lower)

Injora suspension chassis links.

Injora Outer and Inner portal housings.

Injora C knuckles.

Injora 12mm Hex extenders (wider track)

With all the brass, roughly it's added around 1kg over the front axle which really helps it climb steep ground without looping out.

Cheers. I really want to change the body for a pickup, cause the pajero is a bit too tall really.

I'll try and write the list of mods it's had from when I first had it, without adding it up 😂

I was always into nitro cars and trucks. But weirdly this slow rc stuff is hilariously fun. I never thought I'd spend 6 hours driving up a river bank, but here we are.

Don't get me started... It's a slippery slope.
My advice is get a 2nd hand one, cause you will replace everything on it anyway for better parts or brass, lots of brass 😵‍💫

Custom made ones I brazed up myself. I have a small hatred for adjustable racks 😂

The front one used to just hold the wald basket, so it was a quick last minute adjustment to adapt it for panniers. Turned out a bit boxy looking, but it's doing the job.

Here's my little 'lightweight' setup from last weekends trip around the Cambrian mountains. First time running the four panniers, only problem with more space is you pack more stuff.

Can't seem to find anything decent on eBay that's not extortionately priced.
So, I'm after a pair of hydraulic di2 shifters, ultegra/grx/dura ace/new 105 (not the old ugly and massive non groupset ones)
As long as they work, I'm not too fused on appearance.

If anyone out there can help it would be much appreciated.
Located in the midlands but happy to pay all p+p costs.

Would also consider sram hydraulic etap shifters, but I'll need to source a rear mech to go with them.

Cheers
