Boggy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I thought I should start documenting my model its a stock kit with the addition of a 55t motor and metal bearings.Painted Tamiya PS-4 Blue. first thing was add led's to the lamps. next remove the bull bar and "brick" and replace with a scratch built item (I'm not overly happy with it but its ok for now. I did not like the side mounted shocks at the rear so mid mounted those. finally for this bit I have mounted the light switch and rx switch on the rear bed things for the future include tow bar,trailer for the mini cooper. truck cab.interior and driver.rear lights and any thing else i can think of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GilbertRC1 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Like the colour, if your looking for some upgrades I can recommend some aluminium rear links, GPM steering kit and definitely some new tyres. Ben. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggy Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks for the comments Ben. I have some crawler tyres on order and am just building up an interior with driver.(also fitted rear lights....well a pair of leds really! ) The steering and rear links will also be getting looked at. ( I have boxes and boxes of airplane / helicopter spares so I'm looking to make my own set up) or more likely fail miserably and order the parts!

oodboo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Looking good. You can get tyres dirt cheap from hobbyking if you don't mind waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggy Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have utilized a few helicopter bits to improve the rear shock travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
