SirusDviruS Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Great bargain I'd strip the engines and check there hasn't been a sand invasion though. Even if both engines are scrap it's still a bargain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 This is how one looks after letting a 14 yr old attack it with tools lol Full strip & clean is in progress but I'm letting him do this with my overview. We will replace what ever is needed including pin/e clip on the suspension & also upgrade radio to 2.4 Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthoop Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Great stuff...both the deal and letting JuniorSmurf (?) get stuck in. Have fun...but be wary of annoying MamaSmurf with oil on the carpet/worktop/etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurf Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Update. First one is stripped and needs shocks sealing, all bearings, front diff case, front shock tower, pin/e clips replacing with nut & bolts. Still need to strip the engine & buy 2.4ghz radio gear Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurf Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks I will send him a message when I've worked out exactly what we need I was looking at stuff on eBay last night and he seemed to be the one listing most of what I need (so far) Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Well the lad has got bored I think it's too much without playtime lol although he did strip the second car before he stopped. So on to what's been happening .....Yesterday I cleaned & rebuilt both sets of shocks, I did find that they have different shocks but don't see it being a problem. Today I serviced 3 diffs and replaced 2 pull starts, 1st took 2 hrs & the 2nd took 10 mins it's a simple job once you know what your doing lolRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Today I fitted the front & rear end to the chassis. Everything has been stripped cleaned & re oiled. All being well I will have the rest cleaned & fitted by the end of tomorrow Just hope I can get one of the engines running Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthoop Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hopefully JnrSmurf will get back into it...if not he will find something else to expand his mind...you can only give gentle nudges to a path. Looking mighty clean in that picture...even if the engines are kerplunked I think you got a great deal...but no doubt with a bit of this and that any Hyper engine can run again...parts are cheap...just depends how many parts constitute a new engine.

papasmurf Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think he will come back when he's got to play with it (& breaks it) Its the first real work I've done on any RC but it been fun. Tomorrow's jobs are fit servos then try and get an engine running, I've got 3 to go at & 4 carbs so I'm sure I will be able to get something running.If all goes well tomorrow the only thing I will have to buy is 2.4 radio gear. Not bad for non runner spares buy Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post papasmurf Posted April 22, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2014 SHE RUNS Well I got it running as soon as I had fuel it fired up only problem is the radio interference But on the plus side even with the 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirusDviruS Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good stuff! Now get the other running and sell it so the first one cost you buttons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good stuff! Now get the other running and sell it so the first one cost you buttons The second one is going to be a brushless project but as summer is coming (caravan & kids holidays) I don't think it's going to be a quick build.

papasmurf Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Radio gear turned up today, but due to the rain I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow for a run. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurf Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Nice!!....and u did it urself!!!did u use marder boy in the end for ur parts???? Not had to buy anything other than the radio for this one but when I build the second one I will be using him as I need a shell, 1diff case, 1 compleat diff & casing, front shock tower (may fit tower from ss or st) also both still have pin & e clips so should be swapped to nut/bolts This will have to wait as I got the wing mirror smashed off my 1/1 car midweek so any spare funds have gone to replacing that Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
