RC4WD fan Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Well made a start with the new body and wheels made up the wheels with temporary tyres all was going good until I tried to mount the wheels withe the wheel but as tight as it will go the wheels are not sitting tight on the hex if that makes sense ? they wobble and move in and out a couple millimetres so need some small washers 🙄 look good on it though even though I can’t use them yet 🤣 will look better on the new body in gunmetal 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wolfie1 Posted May 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2023 Today i went and explored the “crawl spot” now i thought it was good but after walking around the place its totally awesome, there is probably 12 acres anyways! I did manage to find a bit of metal sticking out of the ground that i ripped a tyre on 🥲 but after a trip to halfords and buying a bike puncture repair kit its as good as new thankfully, so i decided not to take a video as for me all i do os fail epically on here now, but i did take lots of pics 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
