ratman Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 finished! just got to do setup and possibly strip the odd bit back down for a little modification here and there. went together nicely. ohh and weights 1300g minus the body even with 45g stuck to the lipo from when it was in the tamiya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 i was reading rctech and a few people have had to do some right jobs to get things to fit.. one guy had a horrible experience needing to dremel this, sand that, the diff leaked like a beast as well kinda put me off some.

ratman Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I wouldnt let it put you off. His was one of the very 1st. My diff is beautiful, feels smooth no leaking atall. The ball ends he is on about binding have been replaced as mine came with a sheet of paper saying please use these instead of the kit ones. The shocks om mine are a little tight so i thnk i will b polishing the shafts a touch and the pistons around the edge. Problem with the shocks is that im comparing them to trf's! Id rather have it a little tight than loose. Will be doing full build review soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooksracing Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hey That looks really great, nice to see a different colour scheme for the metal work other than orange or blue! Design looks good too, I have not heard of the car before, what made you choose it? It looks nicely balanced and as you said above light. Looking forward to some more pics and to see how it goes. Thanks for sharing Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I chose it mainly because i like to be different and give new things a try. The deal that cml did for me also helped sing it aswell.lol. I will remove the weight off the battery and rebalance the car today before i do final setup and see how well it balances up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Wow that's nice! Green is my favourite colour too, I think that looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Lots more pics to come. Now doing the build/review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantra Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Why did I think this car was anodised red o.0 I must be going mad. I'd have that anodising stripped off in a heartbeat, green anodising should be left to Hope and only for their team riders Seriously though I'm looking forward to seeing the build but yeah green anodising isn't my cup of tea.

ratman Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Lol. I really like the green, its different and now you have said about hope i can pretend to be a team rider.haha. there was a car with red anodising that i was considering, the capricorn te01 or whatever its called.

PurcyP Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yea the capricorn labs te01 looks lovely...te02 comes out soon as well. Whos hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
