Revs Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well i did £285 and got a couple of litres of fuel as well. I'll get some shots tomorrow and post them. Tha car drives great (in my noob eyes anyhow) and there is a lot of evidence of someone having a lot of fun with - the 4 posts that hold the shell are very scuffed and one tyre has a split in it but been repaired. I couldnt find any evidence of cracks, fracture etc on the chasis, suspension etc. The shell is truley shagged - been through a war or six but i guess they dont last long right? (yeah wrong ) but hey buy new tyres and posts and shell and she'll look a real minter . So im gonna be on ebay soon looking for these bits. She smoked a lot and the guy said hed rather run it rich as apposed to lean due to the obvious so im keen to start learning how to get her setup well enough to pull a wheely or two - which i couldnt get her to do on the night. There ya go; im now an owner - just goota find some time to play now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revs Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 nice one mate how much you pay in the end Mate i think your glasses need a wipe £285 with a couple litres of fuel - i think its a reasonable price for 3.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Sounds nice mate, and yeah youre right, the shels dont last that long. You can get a fibershell for serious bashing, Rcsammy has one, or you can go with something like a proline crowdpleaser, instead of stock. Also were the wheels stock? If they were, maybe invest in sum bowties, as it should make the truck handle even better. ANd lastly bodyposts are cheap, and the wyill snap quite a bit if you land on your roof. Did he cut them down in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex199020 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 prity much Bashing = bash the hell out of your car basicaly jumping and driving round but pushing your car (not racing {point out the ovious}) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 bashing could be considered that, depends how "hard" you bash. Its generally just a muck about with your truck, doin jumps, backflips all that lark, as opposed to proper racing against other trucks. As for the parts, most modelshops should have them. Try www.modelsport.co.uk or www.jespares.com http://www.jespares.com/catalog/index.php?...%20Truck/Truggy - wheels, 14mm hex is what you need, though someone correct me if im wrong shell - http://www.jespares.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=943 Although as your 3.3 it has an extended chassis, so I'm not sure if it will fit, probaly best to get sum1 to confirm.
