I can do with one of those. It was from B&Q but it's a few years old now and could really do with replacing they don't even make it anymore, they do an updated version http://www.diy.com/departments/mac-allister-36v-li-ion-cordless-screwdriver-mssd36-li/592531_BQ.prd It's the same thing just update to a li-ion battery instead of the ni-cd with the bonus if only taking 3 hours to charge instead if the 10 mine takes lol . There just a handy size and more than enough power for me although I keep hinting for one of these for my birthday http://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/bosch-gsr-10-8-2-li-drill-driver-inc-1x-2-0ah-batt-in-carton-0615990fz8?gclid=COTZ64bC4NECFWEq0wod7g4KKw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick it up at most diy stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks fella I use Tamiya masking tape I prefer the vinyl stuf that makes curves and for the big areas just some regular duck masking tape There is a couple of mistakes, but it will do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only fitting out one the other my boy is fitting out but so you can get an idea I'll just do mine, it's not cheap though so be warned ! Kit 389.99 Motor combo 152.99 Servo 61.98 RX. 21.98 Shell. 32.29 wheels. 21.34 Tyres. 46.68 Total. £727.25 !!! So no it's not a cheap bit of kit by far but I could have saved around £260 by using what I had to hand . I could have even spent more if I'd have gone with a Tekin combo ! Thing is though this is a present so most of the cost is offset, well that's what I keep telling myself I have to admit though once you add it all up it's a little mad for a kit this size but in saying that if it where say a Losi kit wouldn't you be around the same price point ? Kits like this just aren't cheap to build but with good reason as you get a truck that shouldn't require X amount spent on tweaking or upgrades, well fingers crossed it won't lol .. Then Lipos and a TX if you don't have them. Brilliant spec mind and shouldn't need any more spending on it. You obviously could find cheaper electronics too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thought seeing as this will spend a lot of time with its wheels in the air best think about adding a wheelie bar.. Looked at the TVR bits but they work out over £50 shipped to the uk and fir a wheelie bar that's a tad to much lol .. So I made my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
