It is REALLY bright

Fibre Tape > Gaffa Tape

Very strong, and its light too

I should have done that to my shell before I ran it, got a few clear spot's on the rear already and some nice rubber marks on the front. Better get me some fiber tape quick.

My first little update here, not much money to upgrade alot so did the cheap foam mod to the front driveshaft (Found here). I found some fairly thin stuff that fits nicely and superglued it in, then used a bit of my shell to go over the top to stop the foam ripping.

Fitted my RPM arms about a week ago or so too, but only got them on the front at the moment. I went for blue as everyones else seems to have black
Got a pic of everything below.

UPDATE!  

All my stuff from HK/Msuk/Ebay has arrived this week, just in time for sammy's This weekend!   





2 x 3s 5000mah
1 x 4s 5000mah - This is fassst!!!



Anyway,

Got the MMM slash bracket, looks better than it zip tied to the front shock tower!
Also added a fan to the motor, not 100% nesseciary, but it should help keep the motor temps low



And finally, the layout of the slash now, i drilled a hole in the bottom of the RX case, so i could bolt it to the front of the chassis:



Next thing to do is the battery strap mod! (I shall be doing this tonight, when i have access to nick's Dremel!

[calum101]

Holy Jebus that's damn fast!   And damn bright

[e.thirteen]

Not had much chance to run this recently, but did take it out last weekend and the only things that broke were almost dead anyways. Got a few pics of the damage





Sitting nice and low, It still jumped alright with the front end on the floor too  



Gonna get it clean and fix the shocks up, then do the heatshrink mod on the driveshaft too. My shells still holding up, but I don't give it long now.

[willashcroft]

Will be updating this thread sometime this week.

Will be getting a new bodyshell soon, most probably going to be:



The Desert rat hasnt done too badly, but it's just the body mounts that keep ripping holes out of the bodyshell, i'll review this shell when i have it all painted up and sorted, along with the rest of my slash, which is slowly being rebuilt, and cleaned again
