Couldn't use the cockpit unless the driver lost his right arm, but I am considering a chassis swap on the Lancia 037 TA-02SW. just need to figure out the extra parts required. Look forward to your purple version, it's a lush colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's now running plus 10mm hex's. Need to order some dgs hubs for it. Unfortunately only place I can find them is from China on ebay. So that sucks. You're making good progress on the R1! A model I have never tried actually. For reference, with regards to actual crawling performance too much articulation will generally cause issues, infact, most of the comp chaps will only run between 45/60 degrees. That said, a flexed up truck does look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Today I "rallied" two of the tt01's in the back lane with my boys. I forgot they're geared for much cooler weather, the servo tape holding the esc down on one them got a bit quishy, and a motor desoldered itself on the other. I'll dial back the throttle end points while I wait for new pinions 😂 Hopefully it hasn't cost me a motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Oh How Original Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Got my new 8 spoke deep dish rims for my Group B Quattro, they are period correct and I am loving them over the old 5 spokes. Also got my new trailer built up. A nice touch, you get plenty of spares, which is nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get more out of it. But it will put crazy stress on the shocks and drive shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post No brains Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Build a little more on the tamiya ta-03rs porsche, almost finish the chassis. Glued The wheels and tires for my rock rey kit and mounted the wheels, the car is now ready for a test drive,. I am going to drive it one pack without the body in some tall grass because I want to know what kind of temps the motor gets, if they are ok them I install the body, you can't get to the motor with the body on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the look of the hot racing chassis and the intergy one. But both are import only. So need to keep looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence uses Driveshafts. This is the shafty chassis I have as an example: https://www.undergroundcrawlers.com/#!/Fastback-II-Black/p/9260709/category=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
