What ya do with it Jack ?

It came out of the river and was not happy it ran rather erratic after its swim, did not notice how deep it was, but it made it back to where i parked rather reluctantly i have dried it out and given it a large dose of GT85 and seems to be okay now, will be a good video when i get time to put it together

started building the dt-03 racing fighter last night and finished it today, stuck in a old and mild 3250 kv motor on 2s and it goes pretty well 🙂

I've been fancying one of these for a while, no idea why. 

 

Looks smart in that red.

cheers bud, you could try one they are pretty cheap and a good build as usual with tamiya, this one was 101 quid with no esc but it did come with the torque tuned brushed motor and oil shocks 🙂

 

edit: forgot to mention it only comes with plastic bushings, i was gonna replace the bearings on my dt-02 sandviper so had a ball race kit kicking around from rc bearings, so add in the cost for bearings as well.

I picked the £80 one up from Amazon, you get the ESC (I'll sell that), toque tuned motor and CVA shocks. Should be here in a week or so. For now I'll just stick a 1060 ESC in it and leave it pretty standard.

Kool, much better deal than mine 🙂

Got the herja ready for a day out as the wife's at the office on a Wednesday. Get car ready. Then 2 minutes before I'm heading out get 2 guys from the gas company telling me there is a problem with the gas riser. And they have to replace it.  Cut to a few hours manic cleaning the kitchen so they can pull it apart to replace said item. What bloody fun lol.  Car went back on its shelf for the week.

Very nice mate :good:

Thanks. As I said in the Sca-1e thread 🤦‍♂️… decided to keep the decals for now at least. Still not sure about them, but I can take em off any time but wouldn’t be so easy to put them back.

Finished the bumper for the Element.
Can’t braze or weld.

£4 worth of aluminium tube and bar… bent, cut, drilled, tapped and screwed together. 
Quite pleased with the result.9DCDC59B-6A00-4D43-B628-7084E2B41F9C.jpeg.d5382e11d10d37c608fdc49fcfce6c1c.jpegC8A88B35-1E99-4DA4-8C2A-46EEF68A9241.jpeg.d7d9f23c0bbbe68a36318d57ed00418f.jpeg3C79E53F-22B1-4A98-8808-F5463E2E70FF.jpeg.31cc9ea66bf69f97798dceeed89c47f2.jpeg
