Purcys Snow panther Mission D Bargain busting skids!

[PurcyP]

thats the one

[Dav]

Cool, good luck getting it sorted

[PurcyP]

cheers dude.

 

i think the bd7 spool will do it, just want to play with the damn thing lol oh well once this metal spool is in that will be it..no more breakages..for that end of the car anyway lol

[Tamiyacowboy]

the old yokomo DRB spools should be a drop in replacement,

the mission D is a cloner of the DRB, so even DRB hopups should fit fairly easy.

 

saying that the DRB is discontinued so grab what you can

[PurcyP]

Yeah the DRB Spool and most parts are from the BD5 and BD5 parts BD7 and BD7 etc etc etc yardy yar yar.

 

So yea the Spool i have coming 99% should fit, ill be mighty shocked if it doesnt lol. 

 

Just need DHL to hurry up n get it out of germany haha 

[PurcyP]

WOO HOO WE ARE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN!

 

 

Spec R BD7 Spool with spring steel outdrives is a go! id highly advise getting one as soon as you buy the car as the plastic one will break. 

 

So basically as suspected since it is a DRB Clone which is yokomo, and the Yokomo DRB Parts are shared with the BD5 which also shares parts with the BD7 its newer brother, if you need spares, well yokomo bd7 is the go ahead in terms of pullies, spools and diffs.

 

I plan to swap out the ball diff at the front for a gear diff again from yokomo. 

 

but yes i am happy! the spool cost

[PurcyP]

So just went out for my first run since getting it repaired 

 

zero breakages! yay! the rear spec R spool is absolutely fine, zero issues there

 

i did do some setting up, the belts were way too tight out the factory so loosened them off a touch.

 

The 22t brushed motor its okay, the tyres could definitely be better, i feel better tyres to get a touch more grip would help the 22t motor out and still slide easy

 

I dont think it will be a good idea putting my 6.5t brushless in there i got laying about, may absolutely destroy the drive train of the car lol 

 

But also i want to look into counter steer, so some different pullies will be in order i think! 

 

Will get a vid of how it is soon with maybe a track laid out 

 

but overall im happy, its survived!
