started to rebuild the shocks for the rustler.

 

 

[Alex97]

Finally printed the last few bits for my x12...

 

 

When I say finally I mean finally after many different versions this one is 95% perfect, I've got a whole box of failed/ bad parts that either didn't fit or failed mid print. 

[Acidsnow]

Front end with Kraton bits and backflip lps, only had a wee bit tinkerin time so the back can wait until tomorrow. 

[Acidsnow]

Full kraton Arms now. One thing annoying me with the body fit is the gap above the bumper. Sat on the shock tops as is, mojave towers and shocks, got kraton towers here but if anything it'll sit higher on them. So anyone clued up on arrma 6s? Typhon towers maybe? And what shocks would ye run?

I haven’t followed the whole story, what was it originally?  Looks like a Kraton chassis, Or is it SWB (Outcast/typhoon)?

The front hinge pin cover looks more like a Mojave or EXB.

 

Talion towers might sit lower.... alternatively maybe I could make a bumper 😉

 

i think I have the dims of various shocks in my super duper excel https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hsQBVZHxqyHskx2CS3niMWIqGJePsbG1hEpCDrVZXFM/edit#gid=1986482379

Cheers Paul, super handy spreadsheet ye've got going there! Started as a mojave roller for spares, ended up, as you do, as another project. Modded the kraton chassis to clear the Mojave arms at the back then promptly decided on kraton Arms as well, still on the mojave diffs towers and shocks. The bumper lines are spot on for the body it's just sat a bit high, totally forgot about the talion tho, off to research a bit more!

Diffs are the same as the truggies anyway 👍

 

Alza racing also do some Typhon “mid” towers which are superb, much lower. I have some spare stock typhon ones I can part ways with if that’s the direction you go in, they’re “as new”. Fitted, never ran.

I did some recycling today.

I still maintain this is the cheapest way to get the brightest lights if you want them internal, or they could be used in a lightbar or similar, for pennies.

Repurposed an old strip for backlighting your TV, few wires and some measuring, got myself some serious rock lights on the FTX Outback Mini.

I knew it wouldn't be long before you started modding it 😂 Good job! I moved the front lights from the bumper to where proper headlights would be on my V1, super simple to do and very effective

Yep, enjoying tinkering again, it's been a very long time, I suppose I bought this for two reasons, one because a friends got one, albeit the Landy version and two, to see if I really want to build another 10th scale.

In short, I think I do.

[everclear1984]

Took the kids out with their new (to us) Stampede. I picked this up as part of job and couldn't bring myself to let it go, until today it looked practically new, other than a bodged battery strap and a few rusty screws

 

 

 

[Ag100]

Fitted the new Dumbo Rc TX and RX along with a cheapo 20amp Brushed ESC into the MN99, all fits neatly, just need to fit the rest of the lighting, but will have to wait till next weekend now, works really well, it’s a great Tx.

[Stormbringer]

Looks really smart with the leds in it

Thanks, it does have some as standard, but they come on with the throttle applied, these are the new ones which can now be switched on with a button on the TX. The new rx came with Indicators, brake lights and reversing lights, need to fit these at some point.

That will really look good when you get them installed 🍻

[Oh How Original]

Already made some use of my lighting.

Trimmed and painted the Raptor shell. I must say, I think it looks rather good

Not sure what scale your going for.

They look good, but this will be about the same wheelbase as a 1/8 buggy/SC truck 👍 

[Rooster501]

Learned how not to bash my rear kyosho scorpion xxl ve wheel in. Anyone no what I can use other than the stocks? Reasonable price?
