MrPeaski Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 99% certain it will happen, just waiting for 'funding' Got everything I need to do a full build bookmarked at Modelsport, just hope that when the time come it'll all be in stock and not gone crazy pricewise. I'd have gone for the RTR, but I've got a half decent radio I want to use Radiolink RC4GS, that came with 2 receivers, one of which is in a FTX mini X2.0. Just need to modify the 4th channel switch from a momentary button to a slider. Channel 3 is a rotary VR and controls the giro sensitivity in one of the supplied receivers. Also I haven't done a full build in years, think the last was a Savage 4.6 about 12 or 13 years ago, so quite looking forward to that. Got a idea for a paint job, something like this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 well you need 3 for the dc1 as it has a 2 gear shift which goes on an rc channel so with 4 cha 1 used for gyro should be fine ps is that how you gonna do it ? pps lol Myself and Everclear used these wheels so may be worth you getting if not these something along same lines as stock wheels are just plastic and need tyres glueing with these you could use original tyres or chop change tyres as you go whueee lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPeaski Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) The radio has 4 channels Channel 3 is normally set up on a rotary control to adjust the sensitivity on the giro. I'm tempted to keep the giro function for when its in high gear to help it stay straight Channel 4 is set on a momentary push button. so when you let go it goes back to its original state. I'd need to hold it down so not ideal for a gear shift. I'm going to de-solder the push button and change it for a slider and then it will work for a gear change switch got some beadlock wheels in mind so won't be gluing tyres Edited February 5, 2021 by MrPeaski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looks like a very nice car, and it looks like it does not need a lot of upgrades, the only thing I ordered are the dual stroke springs.

No brains Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 the kit arrived today, so now I can start building it, ordered a hobbywing quickrun wp-1080, power hd 20 kg servo for it and a cheap 550 27 turns motor al the elektric parts cost me £51 so that is not braking the bank. How are the stock tires and wheels ? I did want to buy new ones right now, maybe later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeaski Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Can't wait to order mine, it'll be another 3-4 weeks yet though 😒.

I added weight to mine, if you're not going to be going mad with it at least you have the option of running them without adding any, then taking them apart again should you feel the need 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
