SirusDviruS Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I enjoy building/rebuilding RCs as much as using them. Thought I'd buy a mankey TS4N spares repairs from eBay to play with. I already have tons of TS4N spares, so it shouldn't cost me much to get her back to great condition. Parcel opened: First obvious thing that needs attention! : Mmmmm, nitro slush! : Engine out, full extent of knackered exhaust and manifold. What clutchbell bearing? All better Pleasent suprise! Mint inside! : Engine was fully rebuilt using Graphogen. Expensive but awesome stuff: (TBC, having problems with stupid photobucket) Edited March 8, 2014 by SirusDviruS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirusDviruS Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) What's left to tinker with: What's done: (new 'zorst, engine & clutch rebuilt, everything cleaned) No more sludge! : Diffs rebuilt using fastrax diff oil: Rear gearbox on and mesh set: Just the front left: Edited March 8, 2014 by SirusDviruS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
