Dunerunner v3 questions?

Heat is not a problem with metal gears. The old machines came with plastic gears which could melt if you ran it hard.

They melted if you ran it at all

Lol! Sorry that's just funny!

It happens to the MCD plastic gear plate too. Aluminum gear plate is the way to go.

Mine lasted exactly 4 minutes.

Luckily I had been reading this forum and ordered the alloy plate with pin type gears when I ordered the DR.

Does the stock servo on the DR have a servo saver?

 

[RampageHopUps]

The servo saver is included in part 50012, not on the servo itself.

 

[Ice_2k]

And it's delivered in the stock setup? Or is it a hop-up?

 

[RampageHopUps]

That is the stocker.

 

[Ice_2k]

Great. When I decide to drop the stock steering servo and go for a hitec or savox, should I also consider changing the stock saver?

 

[RampageHopUps]

I wouldn;t think so. Maybe someone else knows of a better servo saver?

 

[Ice_2k]

Great, I'll stick with the stock saver if there are no known issues with it.

Quick question about the air filter: I saw people talking about an inclined velocity stack to use the Baja air filter without hitting the throttle/brake servo linkage on the XT (I think). Is this also a problem on the DR? My parts are already on their way and I only ordered the air filter, nothing else, I thought it was a direct fit.

 

[RampageHopUps]

The Shreadstack is a good addition, but not really needed. Just put the fitting on the underside of the horn, instead of on top.

 

[Ice_2k]

Thanks, Rob!

I received a separate failsafe module with the DR, how do I use it? I watched the redcat videos and they describe setting the failsafe directly on the receiver (there's a small button next to the power led). What do I do with this extra module? View attachment 7656

Throw that out. It's for Nitro cars.

+1 throw in the trash.

 

[blak__jak]

you don't really have to throw it away. it might come in handy for something. just don't use it for your d/r. maybe an xmas tree ornament.

Dunerunner v3 questions? thanks guys. One more thing: how do I remove the air filter cover? I watched youtube videos and they didn't seem to look like mine does. I can remove the actual filters but the metal mesh can't fit through the cover. View attachment 7657

[RampageHopUps]

That is a new and highly needed upgrade. You should be able to pull the foam through the middle hole. I'm not sure how they seal that front ring to the main body, but I'm sure its glue or maybe even sonic welded, (I doubt it though). It might just be a tight fit.

 

[Ice_2k]

Am I missing something or does removing the rollcage really requires removing the servo linkages which requires releasing the throttle servo from its slot in order to be able to get the linkage out of the brake lever?
