While recovering from an operation, and then moving house, it'll stay as is, but will be going brushless in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Mine was slow enough for a bit of a fart around in the house when it was brushed. & we live in a 2up 2down. Lay out some obstacles , get someone to help. I was jumping mine into the sofa off a cardboard ramp ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno yet will have a look tonight....so far I've had esc replaced, broken n replaced the front suspension holder, broken and replaced one lower suspension arm, broken the front bumper clean off the chassis (will need a new chassis at some point) and now as it's only 2 wheel drive will have to investigate....I've only had it just over a month n it spent 2 weeks in the model shop waiting for the esc...either I'm the world's worst rc driver or outlaws are very fagile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, by the time you have spent load on alloy bits, a better brushless system etc. Your not that far off yeti money. i have to say that the “ftx” brand has brought a lot of new folk into the world of crawling/scaling/rock racing, which isn’t a bad thing at all but..... people need to look past the cheapness and look for overall quality. Harder now of course with rising prices and less free cash (maybe the ftx was aimed at this market?) but cheap and “fragile” (I’ll be polite too) lmao isn’t the route I want to take personally..... my trx4 did a whole weekend at the g6, 400 gates (50 pure mud) and it waltzed it through the lot, costing me approx £2 worth of gt85 and a couple of hours cleaning. i have been their though, bought cheap, and had to replace again and again, it’s all part of the learning process though...... kinda makes me me wish I’d never sold my yeti ?

I've been thinking about getting some chrome car rap as it comes in different colours ? as you might be able to tell I'm already bored with what's on it now ?

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk I'm not sure probably not if you heated it up as your taking it off ? could you not just sand the aluminium panels you have now so the not polished ? that's what I'd do if/when I do some ?
