Ragged, jumped and rolled The Beast, added a fresh split to the shell, hoovered up grass, left some 11's came home with a wobbly rear wheel and reminded myself why I love this hobby :)

Raided the Vandal for parts to fix Chevy Carnage. Got very annoyed with some rounded hexes until I figured that the part was broken anyway so I hacked away at it until I could grip the heads with a mole wrench! It took a while but CC rolls again  :thumbsup:

Ally servo saver fitted to Savvy.

Red threadlock applied to Hot Racing hex adaptors.

Hole drilled in motor shaft to allow grub screw to sit deeper into pinion, red threadlock applied to grub screw, here's hoping it'll stay put now.

over the last week iv done a few things, a replacement with the rear alloy hubs, i kept snapping the standard km plastic hubs, snapped a tooth off the 20 tooth drive gear from in the gearbox, and bluw a hole in the gearbox casing,

today out minding my own business my baja jumped about 10 ft in the air off a jump and it went about 25 ft in distance lol! Awesome jump, but it lawn darted and snapped the bottom arm, iv been looking for kraken bottom suspension arms but no where has them, id appreciate a link to some if anyone knows were there is some?

I said I wouldn't jump my baja but wow its awesome, iv built a new track up local again its not massively big but its getting me practice in for when im ready for going racing, im just about putting it were i want, its coming together now, loads of power and smooth driving loving it :) and my baja's taking just about everything iv thrown at it, apart from darting from about 10ft,

scale that up and its like driving your real car off a cliff lol! No wounder they brake lol! ;)

Got it wet.... then remembered it's not waterproof!

I was hoping to see how well the balloon waterproofing on the rx faired but as soon as I got there I had to rip it off due to issues with binding the tx. It got wet and sure enough stopped working. Fortunately I have some cans of compressed air around and once I dried it out it started working again :) Compressed air saves the day!

Bought from FREEPRAWN , bit of work to fit as you have turn the tank round the opposite way and dogbones go through it , so that means all the back end has to come off , but I think it's worth it ?

Fixed the bent link on the honcho and fitted new tough armour sliders. Sliders fell into the basket when ordering the link parts. Well, you have to undo one of the slider bolts to get the link off so seemed fair! :)

Now realised can't fit my slider battery trays :(

About time I got around to making v2 so can't see them below the body anyway. Now got no excuse not to get on with it :)
