mike1980 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Worked my way through this lot, refreshing the diffs and dampers with new fluid. Also knocked up some uber-cheap mud guards out of an old plant pot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Fitted all this to the X I also finished building this. # I'm waiting for a motor then its ready to go... However, its my birthday and they did a collection for me and I got £102. I was genuinely shocked and overwhelmed. I would have been suprised if I got a card and some beers! So I decided to treat myself to a Futaba S9373SV servo which is very cheap on RC Mart at the mo @ $126. The logic is I have top electronics in this chassis (Which is discontinued) I can just pull them out at put them in a Losi 8ight for example.

The plan is for some fast-walking pace trail runs while I walk the dog. Thanks for the tips, i'll bare this in mind when it bends! Maybe it'll save the servo Edited January 15, 2017 by James1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
