Carl160180 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes its still worthwhile! (Depends what you want speed wise and also what you already have though) A decent brushed motor will cost anything between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl160180 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is there anything I need to watch out for when building my kit as i'll be building it tonight after work. Read about the camber being crap on the front. Anyway to get rid of that or will that be eliminated when I fit the alloy shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is there anything I need to watch out for when building my kit as i'll be building it tonight after work. Read about the camber being crap on the front. Anyway to get rid of that or will that be eliminated when I fit the alloy shocks? When I built mine I used a bit of spare rubber tube on top of the shocks to lower the front a little. Started with 8mm but cut this down to about 4mm after a bit. You can see what I done in my build thread: http://www.msuk-foru...d/#entry1604172 Now I've got 75mm shocks up front and the height is about the same.

NITO Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Congrats on purchase and welcome to the club!! I used a cable tie around the lower front arms and chassis to keep the maximum height in check so no silly camber angles; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well its all built and test driven round the front room lol. Bit of a bonus too as the speed controller that was listed with it was a teu101 but came with a 104 :-D For the price I was unsure if there was even gonna be an esc as at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy8846 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 For bashing? Paint it white, will still look ok even when scratched up, colour code the wheels as well maybe? Or black wheels always looks cool For shelf original yellow is the way to go imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah bashing mate. Mate of mine does cheap airbrushing and im thinking about a flip colour?? Can just get it resprayed when its bashed a bit too much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy8846 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 What servo came with your LB's?? I got a combo from goldstarstockists and it came with a carson servo which is awful!! Going to get a good budget (read cheap!) servo early next week. This one seems good VFM ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The new shell has arrived: Going to have a bit of a MTB theme I think, just got to see what stickers I can find lying round before chosing colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Mine didnt come with a servo so I robbed the power hd 1050mg servo out of my savage 17kg metal gear servo is a little overkill for a lunchy I think but it's what I had available LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
