Tug Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Don't know who the lady was, but that's a gorgeous voice. Top marks for not filming in portrait! I do like these, nice job on the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the width of the chassis, which is fine if your mounting the battery length ways, but not if its mounted like mine on the DF300. I considered changing the battery placement but its hard on the single motor version, the SR has a seperate 2 motor trasmission and no skid steering so theres more room for the battery length ways. I prefere the wide look of the DF300 2 piece shell, so I ordered a repro one from team blue groove in USA (or might be canada actually). Decals for the DF300 are just not available, so I spent some time scanning in my old body shell and cleaning up the scans adding some little bits and changing some stuff. Did some little warning stickers too, fake head lights and some of the chequer plates for the back, but not all, I felt the original had too many. Im getting these printed digitally on some waterproof vinyl, then i'll scalpel them out. It's costing me the same to do a run of 5 as it would for 1, so anyone who fancies a set for their DF300 let me know. Obviously this pic is shrunk down, the original is A3 size! http://www.ukmonsters.co.uk/blizzard/Blizzard%20decals.jpg Hi, I am restoring a DF-300 and I am very interested in your restoration job! Especially the body and the decals.... about the decals, can you please explain me how to reproduce a copy of yours? They look fantastic!!! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking if moving to the same direction because the Kyosho replacement is quite expensive and I broke a brake pad too... I am attaching the status of the metal part of the brake pads, do you think it should be replaced? or it can work with the Tekno brake disks?

Candyman Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 worth a try before you buy another one. It will probably be ok, the brakes dont have to work hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
