Tug Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Those side guards work very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Jumps nicely too, quite level in flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yea I'm really impressed with the whole package, the Trencher's work really well, the grass was really slippery and they hooked up great, she would wheelie on demand even when blipping the throttle at speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks to be going really well. It looks slightly too springy and slightly underdamped - possibly less preload and thicker oil / fewer holes. Sometimes meddling improves nothing! Running well. Al.

.AJ. Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Had a run in with a Barbecue pit I was unsighted as I was at the bottom of the hill, I walked up to see what the loud noise was and saw this, guess I hit it square on the front bumper, on closer inspection there isn't even a mark on the Truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What an awesome looking truck, I have to be honest, at first I wasn't keen on the paint job, for some reason lately I've gone off bright colours but bashing around it actually looks really nice. Does it handle as well as it looks? Seems pretty forgiving for a 2WD MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Handles lovely mate, even tho it's a MT you have to remember underneath its a race grade SCT with a shorter chassis and fat wheels Also pleased to report the BEC on the SC8WP handles the servo perfectly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Awesome, I somewhat figured being based on the SCT chassis it should handle better than you'd expect, but sometimes videos can be very deceiving. Also cheers for the servo information, even if I don't get one of these, I fancy that servo and combo for the SC10 anyway so cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So, having dropped this purchase into conversation, rolled eyes and a deep sigh from our lass were the result Mr Roberts, apparently you're a bad influence and are now required to convert the garage into man cave asap, thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveyb84 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I really like the look of this. Looks nice and drive able as well. Jumps really level. 2s looks plenty for it as well. I was considering 3s for mine but I might not bother after watching this. Great build, bet you are really happy with it. Paint job looks good too.

.AJ. Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ahh got ya, no reason why a Firestorm couldn't be converted to a MT like this, underneath they are very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Some parts I ordered from Apex the same day as the kit have finally turned up....... Tower braces and a Front plate brace/transponder mount Pointless using the Front plate brace now as I have fitted the RX on top of the stock brace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
