mick e Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Been looking at this since I first saw a picture of one. Went and ordered a full operation kit from Banzai Hobby this morning. Can't wait for it to arrive, I'll be watching the tracked parcel all the way. Will keep you updated and will post pics as soon as it arrives. Might even do a build thread. Have also ordered a full bearing set for it. Just have to decide what colour to paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Build thread! On a side note how do people find Banzai? Do delivery costs and customs kill all/most of the savings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick e Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Undecided on colour yet. Normally paint everything BLACK, but I think this would benefit with something different, open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) If you don't mind me asking, what did all that lot cost, including the MFU? Assuming of course, you bought it all from the same out-of-UK source. Edited March 9, 2015 by Oh How Original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
