The rain held off long enough for me and the boy to give the TT02Ds their maiden run Great fun these cars and even the boy got the hang of drifting after a few minutes, big smiles all round

Little bit done. Rear diff and motor mounted, and a nice cup of green Sexy motor

Thanks very much. I'm desperately trying to get this finished for the UK G6 at the end of may and rapidly running out of time... Anyway, I made a simple spare wheel mount. Not the best, but it will do just fine. I do have a tire strap to fit on which will make it look a little better. Etch primered this pile of metalwork ready for the top coat. And, finally made up a simple winch bumper. Test fitting the Warn winch. And here's how it looks on the truck. I wanted to improve the approach angle as much as possible, so I recessed the winch into the grille as much as I could. Next up should finally be the painting. I've already made a start on the interior, wheel wells and the flatbed. Pics to follow... Thanks for looking.

Spotted by our very own tug , and confirmed earlier today via email by Ellen xu (FiD sales manager), thanks Ellen!!! FiD racing is due to release this crazy 12s rated truck at the end of may this year!!! Here's some specs and some pics, drool bibs at the ready please..... Spec - •ztw 300a esc •ztw 680kv 8-12s motor (34k max rpm, 74120) Up close look at the rig Test video View full news article

exactly, that's why I have ordered them, all results will be posted good or bad, certainly on 12s, tp motor

Front gear box and shocks. The TA02 is really old school. Really enjoying building it

...but food first. Last nights left overs

That's Bag A done. Rear end pretty much assembled. Optional part 50529 was purchased to replace the alloy idel and drive gear, these can be seen on the left, which will be replaced with the parts on the right. To my surprise the kit was included with steel dogbones and not the usual plastic end bones as per previous Manta Ray releases. Guess I won't be needing these now

Cracked on with the Yeti and added a few SDD parts to the rear end

I hate ball diffs

Hi Guys, For anyone thats interested here is my latest Bash video, got some insane air over some massive jumps!

Hi All, My son wants to start racing and I am looking at trying to get him a short course truck. I have been looking at the following but really struggling with what to go with. Helion ECX Team Associated Losi Now the later 2 are expensive, and i can't find any kicking around second hand, I have been looking to get a Slash for myself but literally nobody runs one at the club and everything i mention the slash people look at me with strange expressions, as if im just a total idiot. Anyway, what do people think I should go with, he is going to break it, no doubt about it and to be fair he will probably give up after 6 weeks swell so id like to be able to move it on if need be. Your advice would be great. Thanks guys Rob

So just last week was the latest China hobby expo, a midsize expo wth around 60,000 visitors. All the usual major players are there! Personally I prefer the Japanese Shizuoka hobby expo, but still worth a watch if you're bored /on a brew brea

Last few bits arrived for the MTe refurb, busy weekend but got a bit more done. Last niggly bit is the 6 million M3x12mm button heads that hold the plastics to the chassis - radio tray etc.

It’s impossible not to like it. You appear to be telling yourself you don’t want to like it! I love it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that's what I don't understand, hobbywing said no 12s in distant future, is that no esc or no esc till ztw proven?

Well, either way, I'm looking forward to seeing some proper running vids of this in the next month. Maybe FID will do a decent promo.

maybe they will in time once product is proven - don't want to risk the hobbywing name on a new product

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but if you look at the rebranded Max8 (I think) in an Arrma car and there are differences, only two beeps on start up and very little programming options. I just wondered if these had bits deleted as well.

that's interesting, so how come hobbywing wont be selling ZTW 12s esc branded as hobbywing?

I will let you know works very well on 10s in the vid of losi 5, runs cool, he drives it hard too, on saying that, I knackered 2 max 5's so might not be the best bloke to advise

you can contact this bloke https://fatkidrc.com/products/pre-order-ztw-12s-300-amp-esc-with-program-card

Looks like a good spot to run them, too!

Drifting is not really my thing. I tend to be at the off-road end of the spectrum. Thanks in any case.

As always excellent work its a real shame that the chassis is still not brick pack friendly. are you planing on a alloy steering kit? Biggest issue I had running that chassis

Dampers built and fitted, Electronics installed. Bag C, nearly finished Chopped off the switch and Tamiya plug on the 1060, replaced with a Tamiya type switch and XT-60 plug.

_. Make sure you are running proper (not worn out) tires. The rubber on all 4 corners is the most important factor of your setup. _. Next thing to check is Droop. If you have a lot of front droop, all your weight is being shifted to the rear when you are on the throttle, unloading weight from the front tires, so your steering is mostly gone. Remember, front and rear droop settings is a great way to balance on and off power traction. _. Ride height. Raise the rear of your car. Make sure the car front is 2 - 3 mm lower than the rear. _. Springs and oil can also affect front and rear weight transfer on and off the throttle. If you put on super soft springs and light oil, you will get a ton of weight transfer front and back, amplifying on-power understeer and off power oversteer. Try thicker oil and/or stiffer springs at the rear = more on power steering. _. Stand the Rear Shocks up straighter. Hope this helped you and gave you some new ideas.

I want to reach into this picture and re align the askew warn decal

Cool, I’ll add all that to my ever growing list. I’ll order up some 4mm Revo rod ends instead of getting the Samix metal pivot balls

Front end complete. Bag B. Dampers next

Thanks. It's the fiesta unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to salvage the pictures However I sold all of my 5ive T stuff to @Carpmart so he might be able to get some pictures of it for you if he still has it.

I’m not looking to spend mega money on any one part except for a set of nice wheels, so £20 here, £30 there, I’m looking to do a comprehensive build though, but by buying parts wisely... I will say i do fancy a set of Vanquish Currie Antirock sway bars on the rear though, I think they look the absolute dogs wotsits lol

Crack on indeed

setting up on my little lathe all the bodies turned up nice put the flat on the top and made the hole for the rod ends.

My old thread though the pictures don't show which is annoying however there might be some useful information in it plus I think there's a couple of videos of it

Just finished a sort out. got a mountain of stuff to list too. please be gentle though chaps

£5 a go

Good tyres the trenchers

Nah not foolish at all bud, first thing i looked into when i first got my udr was if the shocks were made by fox.Turned out they're not fox

Not today but last Sunday 22/4, Little trip out to Bradgate park (Leicestershire) oh and this was there so had to snap a couple of pics.... did a informal 20 gate course, 19 of the 20 cleared and 17 of those where with a open front diff. had a great day and not one issue (apart from losing a sand ladder, found it though) big big thumbs up to Traxxas for the trx4, it’s epic!

Had some spare time today so added some hop ups. Also decided to go Brushless as Ive bought a TA02 so I can put the Quicrun/Sport Tuned in that
