XV Pilot Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 A strange move - that can't have done the car's handling any favours. Maybe the previous owner was trying to use it as a crawler? Looks easy enough to remove though. Perhaps put some thick AW grease in there instead? Mad Bulls do benefit from a slowed diff offroad IMO.

TMaxxDave Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Little tough to remove but managed it in the end. Diff regreased with a heavy duty grease.Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV Pilot Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sounds like a good home for it. It ought to suit the chassis well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It will be living with a HW1060 and running 18/61 or possibly 18/58 or maybe not as i cant remember if the GPM motor mount has an 18t setting on it.Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'd like to pop up a few Tamiya I've had sat around, loved building them! Two Monster Beetles, a firm favourite ever since they were released in the 80's. My Lunchbox, Subaru Brat (still haven't finished off the red shell yet), and a HotShot (not even ran this properly yet). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Cheers matey! I've had the pink Beetle since the 80's, with a new shell which was nicely sprayed by the chap I bought it off. And bought the rerelease last yr, that's brushless with a 2080kv motor, fully ballraced and 2S. Goes well, the gearbox is lasting but that's only through careful driving of it. I'm ordering the MIP Ball Diff for it, at least then it can take more abuse. My original MB has a brushed 13t etronix motor fitted, my daughter loves it. The lunchbox was one I always wanted as a youngster, even leaving all the magazines open on the page back then and my folks still didn't get the hint for my birthday or Xmas haha.. so I finally bought one two years ago and with loving the box art so much I stuck to it. The brat is another favourite from yesteryear, the red shell and white wheels are a great look. I like the fact it came with two shells, one for the shelf and the other for bashing around. This is also fully ballraced, now brushed, I did have a brushless motor fitted but it was just nuts. I opted to fit the longer legged gear setup inside too. The hotshot was something I was after when I first started racing as a teenager, but ended up with a second hand Schumacher ProCat (which I've still got today). Love the look of the HotShot, and I always remember how well my mates went when we were kids. I must venture out with them when I get the time and make a video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 3s Madbull is going ahead, thanks to an ebay win on a vintage Fighter Buggy RX for a whole 16 quid. Have LB wheels in already, 4000kv wpsc8 combo, 19t pinny also in da house.... probably going to run the FB shell for the time being, until it falls apart from the lunacy. Pics will be forthcoming when it arrives next week 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Nice finding bargains isn't it, I won a Kyosho Ultima ST nitro through eBay for a whopping ...... £7! Delivered.. engine been binned and it now has 3980kv brushless motor in place, and ongoing little project that seems to be taking a long time in between everything else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Madbull's hold their money, annoyingly for the chap seeking out a bargain. The fighter buggy clearly isn't that well regarded....which fits my bill perfectly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mike1980 Posted February 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) These are the only two Tamiyas I have left now. The one on the left is my idea of what a child of a Sand Scorcher and a Monster Beetle would look like, while the one on the right is a very very original 1986 vintage Monster Beetle that used to belong to a dear friend of mine. I have even got the little 'pay-weekly' book from the model shop it came from. Lives on my nice warm shelf now with an occasional run in the sunshine Edited February 3, 2017 by mike1980 spelling 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
