Dads203 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Rebuilt the ball diff in my Tamiya Rough rider and took delivery of part of the body set to replace a missing spotlight that got lost during a house move. Hopefully get it painted and fitted today. Dan Edited August 14, 2018 by Dads203 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan I had a Sand Scorcher back in the day, but it ended up looking a bit rougher than your Rough Rider (pardon the pun), can you post some pics with the shell off?

Dads203 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 As you mentioned the Sand Scorcher, this one needs a clean as it hasn't been run for about 5 years. Cheers Dan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sand Scorcher body was probably the hardest body I've ever painted up, I had problems with masking tape, paint, everything went south on that build. I ended up stripping the shell 3 times and switched to Halfords car paint. Then followed hours of cutting back and micro meshing the paint work followed by 4 coats of clear lacquer and then polishing again. I must be mad ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanveer Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Took the losi 8ight 4.0e out for its maiden run this morning, my friend came along with his hobao hyper vse. The difference between the castle 2650kv 4s setup in my losi and the 2000kv 4s setup in his hobao was shocking, You would have thought the hyper was running on a 3s battery.

.AJ. Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Fitted a screen protector to My AT10II and cut one down to kinda fit my DX5R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolk83 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Fitted the chinese tyres to the yeti and gave it a quick blip round the garden. Pleasantly surprised only managed one grip roll and loads of controlled slides. Need to get out with it proper to test further. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Time for another Scorcher body to be painted up. This one will be for running so not box art colours. Drivers head glued and filled and a shot of primer to start, the body has had the nose fitted, seams removed. Possibly primer this week.
