R46 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 bit more progess but snapped 2 ball studs in alloy tower 😕 Now that had put a spanner in workz, had a brain storm on what could use pulled out trusty ts4n spares box an had a browse an found 4 ball studs an adjustable turnbuckles however i reverted back to stock tower an hubs due to thread type on thunder tiger studs are coarse an Xrider is fine thread. out with brush an laid first coat onto rocker( next time going to spray it way quicker lol) Located spare castle esc best time to see if could be used/mounted without to much drama as hobbywing esc fits nice an neat.. Atad oversized for space allocated for esc the roll cage unable to be remounted to chassis if used 😪 got a tekin esc somewhere gonna give that a trail fit.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
