[QRC]

Just ordered one from PBM racing, told myself it was a bargain, had been planning to get a X Maxx, so big saving made !.

Yeah will do, but having 2 kids one being 2yo I only get time to build when he's sleeping so it might take a while. 

I want to make sure that it's done right.

Cool, yeah no rush , I know whats it's like having a 2 yr old I'm in the same situation

[QRC]

Just had a look through the build manual, seems very comphrensive and dare I say it on par, if not, above Tamiya.

Greetings from Denmark and happy new year to you all.

I have been racing the RB E One R in the season of 2015, it runs great on my local track.

I paid Euro 249,- for it and I thought that was a bargain, £ 100,- is a fantastic offer at pbmracing.co.uk

Hint; the metal 50T hop-up spur gear is on sale here: http://answer-rc.com/uk/en/3111-rb-e-one-r-optional-18th-spur-gear-50t-lightweight-.html <- they also have great clearance deals on RB wheels for it ;-)

Spares can also be found here (Denmark): http://www.rcmodels.dk/catalog-2937.php and here (Germany): http://www.rmv-deutschland.de/elektro-modelle/rb-e-one-r-1-8-scale-4wd-racing-buggy/rb-e-one-r-ersatzteile.html

Cheers and happy racing in 2016 to you all

Thanks for the spur gear and wheel/tyre info, just ordered from Answer rc.

[Matt888]

Is that price for the wheels per pair? Or is it for individual wheels, I'm guessing that it's not a complete set.

I have started building mine,  I've got the front end built I've been taking pics so I'll get some posted asap, the one thing that I have noticed is that the part numbers in the manual don't match the numbers on the parts and their are two options on a couple of parts so it's a bit of a guessing game as to whether you get the right part.

The price for the wheels is for a pair (2 pcs).

Some build photos, I must say this has been a pleasure to build once I got past the problem of the different part numbers on the parts to the ones in the manual.

Opening the box.

[Matt888]

Then onto the build, first the diffs.

Front end built.

Rear end built.

 

 

[Matt888]

Front end fitted to the chassis.

Centre diff fitted to the chassis.

Rear diff fitted to the chassis.

Servo mount and RX box fitted.

Battery trays and side guards fitted.

Shocks built.

Then fitted.

RX box cover and Battery securing bars fitted.

Rear Wing built.

Rear wing fitted.

Servo and HPI wheels fitted.

 

 

 

[Matt888]

Which wheels look better.

White dish wheels.

Or HPI Trophy Buggy flux Wheels.

Now the car is built the quality is very impressive, can not wait to get it painted up and take it out for a bash.

 

[Rover Man]

White dish suit it better imo

[.AJ.]

Defo the white dish wheels, it's an awesome looking buggy

[Rover Man]

Ive just been looking, pity the Nitro one isnt a shade cheaper 

[.AJ.]

I'm out for now I've got the Slash to keep me busy for a while and can't be spending anymore Vekta money lol

[sunny]

Great build thread, at £100 I am sorely tempted but any more rc's would lead to divorce proceedings I reckon......

[QRC]

Looking great, mine should arrive this week, excellent bargain, looking to race @ the Herts track.

Do what i did tell the wife your selling one of your RC's to pay for this one as it's too good an offer to miss.

When my best mate came over to collect his (that's why I had two) he said how much are you selling the basher for? My wife laughed and said he's not going to sell his basher he's talking s**t. I probably will sell it though.

[sunny]

lol

 

[QRC]

It's arrived,

more goodies from Answer rc should arrive tomorrow.

[Dropback]

Just finished building mine and now looking for a motor, ESC and servo to finish off, any recommendations on what to buy?
