Zardoz Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Ew don't envy you having to scrape off dog eggs from your car. I've had the BBQ sauce though, kept on running it on a hot sunny day without realising it was baking itself onto the inside of my shell took some scrubbing.

Oh How Original Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I once ran over some bits of apple and banana, not sure how those bits of fruit got on my street or how I didn't see them, but as with you Zardos, it was baking on all day... Sticky doesn't even begin to describe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Gave the firestorm another quick thrash on 3s round a car park. Hit an empty coke can at full speed and flipped quite badly and all i heard was the distictive noise of a dog bone bouncing away and down a drain. ARSE!!!! Might have a look and see if mt2 dog bones fit tomorrow as i've got one in the loft somewhere. Edited October 25, 2013 by Pistonhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Took Mental MERV out for a quick test drive. It's a VXL originally, but unsurprisingly is heavily modified..... It's converted into a MERV Digger. I've fitted a Mamba Max Monster (3M) ESC and finally fitted it with a CC 1410 3800 kV 5 mm shaft motor. Gearing is 55 Spur / 38 Pinion and nothing remotely gets warm - AMAZING!! IT'S BALLISTIC!!! http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25122-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25123-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25173-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25176-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25127-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25126-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/25125-/ Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Got one of my truggies sorted. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the mesh right on the Losi. Turned out I hadn't pushed the pinion on to the motor shaft fully so it wasn't sitting properly against the spur . Popped the motor out and pushed the pinion on fully, turned the spur round and hey presto: Perfect mesh . Carnage remains a mystery though. Last time it had the ESC/motor/pinion combo in it was bats**t crazy. This time it's just downright lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smash Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Sprayed another shell. Pulled the protective cover off before drilling holes though. idiot. Schoolboy error that we've all made at some point last time I did it I got some old kids felt tips and chopped the tipped end off about a inch long, sat them on the body posts and that got the job done..

Richard.S Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Wow rich that looks stunning great job Cheers! Bought some liquid mask so had to give it a go. Bit of a ball ache to use but fairly pleased with the outcome! Not surprisingly, I've screwed up one of the holes but it's not massively noticeable. Will put a pic up once it's finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
