Mine arrived today from modelsport 👍

Fitted an alloy pin holder and 15mm axle extenders so far and on with modding the tyres for a bit more off road grip .

The just bash it one's I had on my typhon never came off.You just had to make sure the grub screw holding the pin in was clean of oil and loctited in.On the dr8 I will probably just run 4s with it geared up a few teeth.

The Fastrax  extenders have been great I’ve ran them on loads of RC’s over the years 👍

Are you still running the dr8?Any issues out of the box?

Yeah mine gets plenty of abuse and no issues so far, it’s been a bit of a tank and held up to everything I’ve put it threw.

Out of the box it needs one of these https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-dr8-rear-aluminium-lower-cnc-suspension-mount-blue--1332939

Nice 👍 When does your DR8 arrive?

I have already got it but not unbowed it yet as I am thinking about leaving it in the box until Christmas as I won't be able to afford to buy myself something then.

Hi, where did you get the DR8 Chassis Skinz from? Looks nice 🙂

It's from arrmaskinz.Its not for the dr8.Its for the arrma kraton 6s but doesn't have the holes cut out so I will cut the holes myself.
