Just change the pipe matey, that's what I'm doing.

[andyknight]

I've spent enough already, nothing else unless something breaks for a while.

[andyknight]

So despite everybody saying change the exhaust I have called a halt to the spending for a while and will make do with the thor.  That means I've cut one of the bars out of the rear part of the cage.

Now I'm happy with it and everything fits.  That part of the cage will take no weight on a roll over etc anyway and the rear brace area is where the back end will touch if it ends up on its back.  Oh and also had time this morning to chop the rear ARB down so it now clears the driveshaft boots.

Don't let anyone put you off the Thor, it's a very underrated pipe, with the bonus of actually sounding good/quiet & with loads of protection.

[andyknight]

If the postman brings my lipo this morning I might stand a chance of actually taking it for a quick run this evening.

It gives me more than enough speed and power at the moment bearing in mind this is my first 1/5th scale and first RC car for 15 years.

You got a pic of the whole thing?

I have a Uber predator pipe for sale.... http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/203530-removed-from-sale/  it says removed from sale, but it is still available..

[andyknight]

Had to google it to work out in my head how it actually fits on the car and what it looks like.  Not sure I like the way it looks to be honest (not in terms of the condition, I mean the style etc).  I'll think about it.

Best I can do at the moment with parts off it etc.

Ok, last pics of the evening.  Just about finished.  I spent most of the night shaving the battery box for the lipo to fit.  Looks like a killer rc extended battery lid might be on the cards as it is a VERY tight fit.

does the cage come with the front bumper parts/5t side guards etc?

[andyknight]

I got the storm cage and panels.  it includes the side pods and front bumper.

The kits are complete with bumper side skirt mounts cage and panels or we do one without panels

Looking good

ok guys, I really need help with wheel selection.  I just don't think the standard wheel suite the new body.  I can't work out whether it's the tyres, the actual wheels or the wheel size.  I like the look of the DBXL wheels but do they use the same hub type (i.e. will they physically fit on the hub) and where can I get some from?

 

Alternatively I am open to suggestion for other ideas!

 

Edit: found the wheel and tyre sets on freeprawn,

Just finished mine.... 3 hours from start to finish. Going to have some then do a video review.

[andyknight]

Took me about the same including trying to read the very faded instructions before binning them and just winging it.

Cheap dirty improvisation for holding lipo volt meter in the car with remote LED.

Those hitec servo boxes have a use after all other than holding odd nuts, bolts and screws!
