Gaz! Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi, Acquired this in a trade and was a little worse for where so, Stripped, cleaned and re greased, full bearings throughout and better cva shocks fitted. My mrs. Chose the colour too but it is growing on me, shell was in a state so just sprayed it, means I don't mind running it anyway and also it's a base for a monster beetle build in future.... Any good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NITO Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I had the same problem with my Kyosho Turbo Optima at the same age lol! I ended up trading it with a friend for an 8.4v equipped Technigold powered Hotshot II, much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
