.AJ. Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Wheelie bar mount arrived from Shapeways The wheelie bar still hasn’t been shipped though...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derka Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The mount looks good though. I think you most of cleared out DMS of the Jconcepts Startec and Hottie slicks... Fancied trying them and comparing to the Proline Hoosiers! Body choice, wheels, tyres and most accessories we need are either all out of stock or US based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Picked up a better servo and a set of JC shocks mounts, these do away with loads of slop compared to the stock alloy ones, also the ones on the buggy were heavily worn..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 This is the servo https://www.redrc.net/2017/12/power-hd-r12-low-profile-digital-servo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Also picked up a new set of shock bodies, the old ones were a bit dinged up and were annoying me lol, also in a previous pic I had the wrong stand offs on the front tower, the long ones go on the rear....... 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 So the motor and pinion arrived, was pleasantly surprised to see the motor is actually a V2, making it even more of a bargain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 3 bodies to choose from 1966 Chevy Nova https://www.dms-racing.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=37849&virtuemart_category_id=362 1967 Chevy Chevelle https://www.dms-racing.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=34051&virtuemart_category_id=362 Or something a bit more modern a 1991 Ford Fox Mustang https://www.dms-racing.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=32259&virtuemart_category_id=362 Im steering towards the Fox and maybe getting it painted like Ken Blocks new Hoonifox I just don’t know...

supersavage Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I like the Nova. I'm really tempted to try and build one of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Nice one, the easiest way to start is to find a cheap B6.1 roller and go from there... DMS, MS and MB all have parts to do the conversion, wheels and tyres might be an issue, but I’ve seen lots of people run SCT or stadium truck rears and 2wd fronts 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Chevelle or Nova for me. If it was my money I think it would have to be the Chevelle Edited May 15, 2020 by everclear1984 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YetiScore83 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Out of the 3 I would go the fox body, I went with the corvette C7 pro mod body on mine, but wish I went for somthing different. Having been looking at setups for months, I've seen way too many nova's 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YetiScore83 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Good choice... Hardest part now is choosing a colour(s) Alos check out Undercover RC drag wings on Fb, they look fantastic and make a big difference 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
