So...been agonising over what Mk. Escort shell to get for my TT02.  First I wanted a Mk. 1 from LandL.  Then I fell in love with a cheapy Mk. 3 on eBay.  then back to LandL when the Mk 3 sold on eBay to start dribbling over the Mk. 5 Cossie.  However I was lightly browsing LandL tonight and decided to order their saloon category by price and ended up with this..

These are 50ish quid fully assembled and I don't mind putting in a couple of hours work for 25 quid 😄

I loved my one.  I put the high speed gearing in it and just run it 2s everywhere.

 

Funny story.  I sold it on eBay then about a month after the sale.  The guy got in touch.  "Hey, I've since bought another of these.  What did you do to the one you sold me??  It's much better." So I pointed him to the right parts and he was very pleased. 😄

Thanks for the heads up as thats the route I was gonna try as I remember 3s been madness plus I ain't got a 3s that fits atm so cheaper to get the gearing

Life has really being all over the place for the past few months. Im in the process of shutting down my business and going back into employment (I got made an offer I couldnt really turn down). Ive also been spending a lot more time with my daughter, she is 8 months old now and developing a right character. I can also do more as she is starting to eat normal foods as opposed to being breast fed etc. On top of this, Ive decided to get back into training/gym. I knocked it all on the head in January and honestly it was scary how fast my weight went up, my fitness went down and genuinely life just felt more difficult. Theres only one person who can do anything about that, so Ive got back into all that and lost 25lb in 6 weeks and generally am much healthier. 
 

All of that left no time for RC, Im rarely even on forums lately. Then last night I got a whatsapp off my local shop saying my BT-01 Porsche was in. Truth be told I dont want it especially right now, but he specifically ordered it for me so I picked it up today

Still not touched my XM-01 Pro and Ill be honest Im probably just going to sell them both.

Son wanted something faster than TRX-4m - got his wish granted today 🙂 

Tho included NiMH battery lasts 5-10 minutes only.... Thinking of buying traxxas 2s lipo 2820X - but maybe there is something same dimentions (battery must if in the tray) and cheaper than 50euros? Any suggestions?

If you find the rear shocks start to leak and get sick of trying fix them a cheap fix is buy the GPM shocks they make for this model , I have them on my little revo and they work lovely 🫡
