Noj Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Looked at my truly awful masking on the Brat shell and decided a one colour shell IS the way forward as it is merely for bashing, so removed the tape! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had boat loads of parts turn up, and no time/effort to fit them, so spent a few hours on the Jato this morning before work.... Starting to look like a model shop.... Got the front and middle done Most of this is brand new! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Fitted SCX10 dogbones in the Scout rear axle after snapping the original ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It was yesterday but did a few bits, mesh modded the engine, put the dog bone guards on, tweaked the suspension a bit so it's a touch softer and sits a bit lower. Put the PhatDad brace set on and the GBE engine brace too, got the 5sc conversion and Kraken cage on and put the Hostile Crushers on the front and Trenchers on the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Painted it, and installed the rest of the electrics, also gave it it's maiden run, but due to wet conditions it wasn't great and I couldn't put the power down with road tyres (didn't want to get it muddy). At least I've got the first scratches out of the way and can bash it a little harder next time (hopefully with the tyres that are pictured below) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an attempt to try and not strip the diff gears too quickly, I ran one in my Wraith, it held the setting perfect with a Tekin Pro4 and saved many a burnt up motor/esc or mashed drivetrain components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Gave the ascender a new ally servo horn. Also bound all my cars to my new Flysky GT3C TX. No problems with holding a bind on model selection that some others have reported. However I was a little disappointed to discover that end point adjustments and servo rev/nor settings are not bound to the model selected. Does mean I will have to adjust this after every model change. BUT Im still happy with the purchase and will have a few tx/rx combos for sale soon...
