Cheap Losi SBR

[Lilredmachine]

I'll get pics in the morning of how this presently sits but essentially it's a complete and working Losi SBR truck sans bodyshell. 

 

Overall condition is poor, some **** has tried to spray paint bits of it black by standing 4 foot away and blowing the dust in the general direction of the damn thing. The drivetrain was originally seized when I got it, fortunately I narrowed this down to the rear composite telescoping driveshaft being locked in place instead of sliding which was an easy fix (though it did take 3 hours to get into free off). I do have a brand new driveshaft which can go with the truck should the problem occur again. The drivetrain has proved to be healthy apart from that.

 

 The steering servo has been replaced with a beefy large scale servo that didn't fit properly, and was therefore held down with one screw. I have modified the servo itself to get the rest of the 3 screws in and now it steers great instead of pivoting the servo about. 

 

It had a broken and cable tied together a-arm at the front so it has a new set of arms on there now. The shocks are all present and mercifully straight. The only suspension damage remaining is a bend on one of the enormous rear link bars. I can only imagine this was accomplished by some sort of meteor strike as they are bleeding thick. The rear axle still sits straight as I was able to unthread the link a couple of turns to counteract the shortening effect of the bend.

 

As stated, it runs and works. This means that there is a useable rebadged Max 6 (a Fuze branded one) ESC and big can 1/5th/1/6th 1200KV motor in there. The fan on the ESC was frenched when I got it, I have replaced it with a new item so it both sucks and blows. 

 

This would suit as a rolling, driveable large scale project truck for someone, I don't have the time with concentrating on racing these days. Not to mention a budget for a new bodyshell for one of these things. They are roughly  the same price as a three bedroom house in Liverpool, and I don't want to finish it that bad. 😂

 

If you are going to buy it I'd highly recommend a decent strip down, clean and reconstruction with a bolt kit to hand as whatever tit owned it before has butchered a lot of the hardware trying to undo it with what I'm guessing was a packet of particularly blunt churros. I haven't found one I was unable to undo yet, but a few have certainly been troublesome. From what I can see it shouldn't need many if any parts apart from it's missing the dust guards at the front of the chassis which can be picked up from E-bay for not a lot. That and a rear link bar, again available surprisingly reasonably cheap on E-bay. Drives fine as is though. 

 

Pricing is difficult, so I'm going to leave this open to offers, however due to the electronics in there it needs to be a decent amount (IE more than some pocket lint and fluff). If someone wants just the roller for parts for their SBR I'm willing to talk about that as a cheaper option.

Think this will get closed as you need to state a price due to site rules 👍 

[Gaz!]

Price and pictures please fella. 

 

Might be worthwhile sticking a bit of paper with your username and date on it too.

 

ill give it until this evening then the thread will be closed if not corrected.

Noted, won't happen again. I'm away from a pen or any paper at the mo as at my lockup but here are pictures of said SBR.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pictures of Yikong desert truck (same size as a UDR) and 1/10th Ramraider MT added for scale. 

 

Price... Er, 270 quid shipped (as long as it's UK) and PayPal fees included. Like I said (and as you can no doubt see from the photos) this is a project truck with potential. But that's all it is. 😂
