Popular Post AJP Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 Had my first little bump today. Car park was as slippery as ice, lost control and it hit a wall lol. Slippery surface along with constantly countersteering was a recipe for disaster. It was like a scene out of Tokyo Drift in the multi story, only I was not the drift king 🤣 Only £11 worth of damage, all on order. On a plus side I got to dismantle the front end and got to know the car little better. Tuning phase on hold until I fix the pull to the right. Tools on order 👍🏻 Pic: middle bits are broken bits. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the electric Carnage thread (back in 2012) luke662 talks about boiling plastic parts to make them more flexible. Would it be worth boiling the new front bumper before attaching? Surely this part would benefit from more flex? Thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 🙂 I’ve heard this helps also, but not tried so can’t confirm. what I have done is use an FTX Zorro instead as it’s pretty much a direct fit. From memory some slightly longer fixings we’re required. I’m sure someone here will know exactly what is needed as this is a well known mod: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/442275?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3rKQBhCNARIsACUEW_adFPc8wIptJm31pG_olfOar3PIuYRZDkGtC09Ql6TGeIovmonXzBsaAgLqEALw_wcB could be something to consider next time 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That looks very well engineered. Are they actually fully sealed against sand/dust? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BigGinge Posted February 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Got the third iteration of the spotlight mount printed and mounted up on my trail van’s roof rack so was finally able to stick that onto the top of my shell. It’s quite a heavy beast and I think it’s looking like I might need to fiddle with my shocks a bit to compensate for the extra static weight. Looks nice though. If the weather isn’t too bad this weekend (admittedly this isn’t looking likely) I might even get a chance to take it out for its maiden run.
