Used some cheap vinyl from EBay to make a chassis skin, trying to keep the carbon scratch free,I know it doesn’t matter, but I like to keep things clean😀

Didn't have enough AAA batteries to run the banggood special so I changed out nearly all the electronics to run it on lipos.

Spent the evening dropping a combo in the spare Berserker, Underrated chassis if you ask me, And drives great with the right tyres on.

Also gave myself a little dilemma, I broke out the Nitro Thunder Tiger S3 just to see, Forgot just  how quick they are, And the fun they can be.

 

 

So what's the dilemma, Well, I have a new Go 21 5-port engine, With Hong-Nor exhaust and 2 new Sanwa servo's sitting here doing nothing, So tempted to pick up another Chassis, Even tho I've not used the S3 I've got for over a year.

And I got a refund on the Micky Mouse Brushed speedo.

Been putting my radio gear in the Kronos, also had to oil the diffs, for some stupid reason they come with grease in them out of the box

Yeah heard that a few times. Very odd decision for a 60mph basher.

Let me know if you want me to make you a bumper [emoji1]

I think it's just to make Corally's life easier, Remember it's sold as a RTR, So your average Joe picking one up for the first time won't know the difference between the dif being filled with grease, Oil or water, But what there not gonna get is a puddle of oil in the box witch sends them running to the phone and a warranty claim.

Yeah but grease really isn't sufficient for 6s, which is also what they advertise as supporting for battery power.
I actually think the safer bet in warranty terms is oil when you consider all outcomes

Gave the DBXL a rip, ran superb until two bolts pulled out of one of the battery boxes. No biggie, longer bolts were already ordered, just not arrived yet. 

 

Also had the camera rolling, hopefully some decent footage in the fading light.

Spruced up the 5ive T shocks with a clean, new boots and springs. Not bad for a £4 ebay find.

Every now and then Ebay does have some little gems come up. Worth saving a search for something and trying a cheeky bid when it comes up.  Netted some bargains over the years but the wait can be excruciating. Maybe even save a search just for a part number. I have seen sellers just list under a part number and not a description .

Built up a new slipper, but using a Hot Racing steel spur (60t),  just waiting for the Hot Racing pinions to turn up now.
