This one is actually a Terra Scorcher chassis. Complete with front universals, bearings and F&R sway bars. The only thing I'll be changing is the body posts to suit the Fire Dragon, and of course black wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Boomerang copes surprisingly well with brushless, was kinda hoping the Thunder Shot would be the same..... cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have bearings and maybe upgrade the prop shaft theres not a lot to go wrong. Here's a vid I made on the parts required for the prop shaft.

ChrisT Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 All done and what a beaut. Certainly make a difference when the shell and stickers are genuine. More images in my gallery 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Did some work to my newest project car. A losi dbxl. 30cc engine. Low gear ratio. Blackout monster truck wheels. I'd use mtxl If I could find any for a good price. But they will do for now. Few more bits to order for it. But a good start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoea Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Took out my Agama A215e yesterday and this morning. Got it a bit wet yesterday so it cut out in a puddle - thankfully after a quick spray of contact cleaner and letting it dry it was fine today. Local park was fun - but forward flip meant it landed on the rear wing and broke both plastic clip mounts (and bent the rear driveshaft) - then I lost a wheel nut to a speed run. got over 20 mins running the 1/8 e buggy so it's all good. Battery is almost at storage charge now. Might go out with a DESC210 later - love that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Started the Terra Scorcher rebuild with what bits I have. Lots of parts cleaned... Chassis built up... Front and rear arms assembled... The wheels face was sanded and sprayed with Halfords appliance gloss white... Just waiting on parts.
