hi all , ive been reading this thread for the last week ....epic stuff and super impressed with all the LB's !

ive not been into rc for a few years now ....real cars have taken my time up being a sprayer and skyline addict ...i say addict as it does get a bit crack like lol .

ive been tinkering with a drift TL01 and while looking for parts i noticed that the bargain prices of kits from my childhood "just turned 40" and was allways a fan of the lunchbox ,

found a bargain set up and pow ive got a new kit coming to me for tuesday....i hope !

thats where ive found tis awsome thread , got bb's ,shocks ,and geting all the bits to carry out all the mods ive seen on here !

Still making my mind up on design ...maybe two shells as i realy want to do the cannonball ambulance "have seen the one early in this thread ...will have to see if the guy still has the design for me to copy?"

Two shells are a good idea anyway - one for running and one for display as they do tend to get scratched up quite quickly. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

HiAre you making sure you have a bearing kit ready, before you build it? ^_^

Yeah , made sure they came with the kit !! , just finished it ...took my sweet time about it , only gripe I had was the motor moved on the first test and the cog wasn't engaging....hopefully sorted it now ...Will know tomorrow when I get at it again .

Hadow, it's a pain in the a**e. You have to use imgur to host photos. Upload to imgur, use the "forums and discussion boards" url option, once your photos have uploaded.

 

Then, back on the forum, click "insert other media" (bottom right), and "insert image from url". Paste the imgur url into the box, but delete the ends (think it says "img", or something). Then it works.

 

Hello Sherbut, welcome to the forum.

 

I had a laugh with my Lunch Box today, but ended up breaking it! :xd:
