.AJ. Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Took delivery of this bad boy today Tis the latest version of the BE1 with a flat chassis, Evo shocks and updated steering, I was surprised to find in the box the original double kick chassis, shocks and 3 sets of springs And straight into the build Nothing to report about the F&R diffs The centre is a bit different A metal spider screws to the case and then the spur mounts to that, the kit came with 45/46/47t spurs, I chose to fit the 46t for now, the oils are 5/8/3 Edited September 30, 2014 by .AJ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yea the towers are a bit of let down, but there are option towers available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That chassis is lovely, this looks like quite a substantial little buggy, it all looks really tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sworkz build strong buggies, I am yet to break anything at all on my S350 Evo. My only advise would be to ditch the nice red nuts, they are made of cheese and will strip themselves in no time at all, I did 2 races before one of my shocks fell off due to these nuts pulling there threads out.

.AJ. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Shocks on These are the upgraded Evo shocks with 4mm shafts and fancy bladders, I haven't put oil in them yet, because I've been given a set up and need to order different pistons and oils first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcoforever Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 that's looking absolutely stunning. what are your thoughts regarding it's quality compared to things like the losi 8ight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I would say it's as good and if not better than a Losi, it's up there with Xray for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've built up the standard shocks, which will be fitted to the buggy for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 loving this build, think the chassis looks absoutely stunning. what are your plans electronics wise for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm a bit undecided on the electrics yet, but more than likely a Tekin Rx8 gen2 and 1900kv combo, I've got a Tekin combo in my SC and got a Hotwire to play with the setting, so makes sense to stick with what I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Finally found something to moan about with the kit! The bloody wheel nut spanner doesn't fit the wheel nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloody wheel nut spanner doesn't fit the wheel nuts that seems like a very odd oversight lol i do like the look of tekin esc's just concerned about the lack of support over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
