Finished my MST FJ45 today couldnt make up my mind on the colour and very happy with how the mustard yellow turned out

Full strip and rebuild done , electrics fitted and tested just needs a good run out now 👍

Only started this a couple of hours ago was only supposed to do the rear. But i got carried away sooner it gets done to sooner it goes up for sale.

Powered it up. 2 minute test. Spot on. Runs smoothly for such a cheap motor and esc. I'm impressed

Now ditched the kit front bumper as the alloy one I ordered just arrived. starting to look a lot more scale now and very in keeping. not a total like for like fit as the holes in the bumper posts are 2.5mm. just a simple task of drilling whichever set of holes out to 3mm then using an m20x3 inserted from the bottom of the bumper mount and securing with an m3 nyloc on top. happy days What do you think @MrPeaski ? If I'd been a little more careful about slotting out for the front bumper mount on the shell, you'd barely see it. The new bumper clearance is perfect for the shell on the closest hole. Externally now, there's only really the kit tyres and rear bumper that would give any clue as to the kit

SCX6. Just need to sell an arm now to cover the price

Popped a large jeep shell on the truggy for some bash fun tomorrow

Just back from scale nationals, that was fun, have to say you have pulled it of with the ford F-150 shell on the DC1, take a bow job well done

Used the mini summit for the first time, all of the video was one handed driving so please excuse it....

Found a new trailing spot - plenty of trees like this and wet muddy puddles!

It been a tuff but very enjoyable fue weeks getting this amazing beasts off a nitro truck back to its former glory. Completely striped down and rebuildt new hexs new wheels and tires and a lot of new components .what do you guys think 😁👍

Almost 0 rc lately besides a great crawl with the yeti last weekend and cleaning the rigs that are broken. If your motor smokes out the cable holes thats healthy! Tested a motor that was pretty nackered. That'll be the problem, now its a 3 pole motor... Fitted the banggoodebayspecial sway bars from my outlaw to the lads outlaw, didnt use the links included as the stock ones work better than those supplied, should be less floppy on the hill climbs.

Had a Lorra’ fun today!! My mate Al had been on at me about a brilliant spot down Southampton way for ages but I just hadn’t the time..... Until today! About 3/4 mile of rock crawling high traction heaven!! 🥵 XR10 / Bully2 in action, as usual the pics do it no justice and I was having too much fun to remember decent pics!! 😂🙈 Ventru S clinging 👍 Brilliant rock!.. And finally... My mate Al’s Ventru Pro / MOA Again, no justice in the vid! Insanely, I actually managed this move after a few attempts with the sporty ( Ventru S), just had to hang along the rock a little further right before I could pull up... Brilliant day 👍

First outing was a success, nothing broke and it handled things pretty well. A faster motor is needed as it's a little too slow for my liking ,t he springs need to go a little firmer and the front diff needs locking.

I liked how it gave up and laid down lol

Plus a leg and maybe a kidney

when you come to fit the mirrors to the Ford shell, there is a mod on youtube instead of gluing mirrors then having them break of on first tumble, clip of the 2 pins on each mirror and drill small holes, use silver elastic string to tie them, then they fold

Cold will make it perform a little worse. but if it does get wet make sure you dry it all out

Wifes outlaw has new clothes all done, im sure you guys would admit its the nicest looking outlaw around, brushless so it goes well, nice and reliable

Agama A319e roller has turned up 👍

Started making it prettier with new shoes: @turok007 massive thank you from @Bert_w164sMrs and I. Received in under 24 hours.

I’ve de-blinged my LC racing shocks using parts taken from some budget AliExpress copies so that they better match the colours on my shell. Probably makes it go faster too. Donor, original and modified.

Put some new zd racing shocks on, fitted a 17tooth hpi savage clutch bell an had to drill my engine mount off as lock tighted it on 🤦 in my infinite wisdom 🤣🤦 so bought some new mounts so gotta wait until the weekend to give it run and see what sort of speeds the new bell is gona reach 🙂 not sure if it's gona do much but will hopefully know by Sunday lol will post pics later as not at home atm. Edited with pics, drilled the mount off and then put a slit in the nubs an they came out easy 🙂

That video clip is crackers 😳

So..... What do you think? Stock bumper with the bull bars chopped There's no LED in the spot lights yet (3 of the 4 fitted to the light bar failed ☹️), but I'll get them in soon

i have just done mine, had the silver elastic for about 10 months, but glad i did it, more inclined to use the Ford now

I like that, maybe in a chrome finish (caustic soda and a lot of polishing) would add even more to it as it would match the grille. Could you lower the body posts by one hole to reduce the amount of the cut-out showing! Either way a tidy looking front end. Your mention of a stock rear bumper on the front has me reaching for my tools to see what it would look like

At least when you do get some the storage is sorted

Got my super high tech lipo storage solution today.....I don't actually own any Lipos but that's beside the point 🤣

Cheers The approach angle on the front is now unreal. I'll have to measure it, but it looks like it would walk up a wall. This started out as just wanting to build a kit, but its gone somewhere completely different. It'll be an ongoing project for some while at this rate The list of unused DC1 parts I'm amassing, is something else. Quite a few spares here now, for anyone running a standard DC1

Gotcha. Not sure what the refresh rate is on the GoPro 6 but another thing that will make a difference is how many satellites it's managed to connect with. You'll get more accurate data with the maximum number connected AFAIK. Still a good video and I do like watching them with the overlay on.

Yeah indeedy, was hoping there would be some used ones floating about. If I end up going for new then I imagine it’d be those 👍🏻

@stimpy yeah I appreciate the shout but that’s definitely too much truck for them (and basically what I’ve budgeted for the 2x somethings that I want to get for them). I do like me a monster truck but other than a trade with the scorpion xxl I can’t really afford it right now 👍🏻

Bunged the grille on now so getting even sweeter Took the side stripes off though. Just a little too cheesy for me.

Yes metallic Purple, its the only colour she will have, backed with black, this time i have taped the living daylights out of the inside with Gorilla tape

Cheap Chinese cars and even cheaper "metal upgrades" is really a no go zone IMO. At that price point I'd be looking at a tamiya, part support is pretty good, you've got a good range of upgrades out there and they are built well. You should be able to get two cars set up for under £250. Have a look on modelsport and see what takes your fancy.

Good to know there's appetite, if anyone is after 1/8 wheels at postage costs (or collection for free, PM me).

converting the mini b to brushless 🙂 edit: all done i hope 🙂

Obviously an older post but thought I'd add my tuppence worth. I enjoy Kevin's video and, although chaotic, I have learned quite a lot being new to the hobby. That being said sometimes I'm not in the mood for his vids so I watch others and then return to his channel when it takes my fancy. Between Kevin, Tomley, RCKiwis, RcKicks, tamiya legends, beyond RC, Shen RC, grandadisanoldman, RC Saylors, Ampro, Mark Bryan RC, RC Review, RcDriver online, etc. I've learned a lot and they have all contributed to giving my 42 year old butt the confidence to give the hobby a try...Kevin in particular made me see I don't have to be overly precious with my RCs as fixing, tinkering and building is half the fun. Anyways thanks to all who make the hobby accessible for born again kids like myself 😂

Ok, that SCX6 Towing video is very impressive. There. I said something positive about a scaler/crawler. Now I feel dirty

Looked at it in pieces need to clean it and rebuild to sell. or just sell it as is as cannot be bothered

Rails on, front straight axle installed. enjoyable build so far, a welcome distraction from the stress of moving house

JIMNY SAVILLE

Assembled a gearbox

Slapped a brushless setup in right away. Now running on 3300kv 3650, with a 4000mah 80C 2S and 35k diff oil in the rear. 3S run tomorrow 😈 Trade completed with @Yrkoon thanks bud for the Haribo, laser and spares. Thanks @Stormbringerfor Hobao spares, much appreciated. We are super happy, imo a great deal both ways 😁 and our first Kyosho! I owned a brushless FTX Carnage a few months back, and after a week sold it. This, however, is a keeper. I'm surprised at how well built it is, the plastic is really tough yet has flex and it's clear you two gentleman barely used it.

I have abused this Scout, dunked it, rolled it and generally tried it everywhere and tonight had a good hour trailing and mud plugging to myself - my good shoes are covered in clay and mud 😆

More progress on the interior

Seen this on ebay, would make a cool large RC project. Looks 1/6 but not too sure. Would get it myself but already working on a 1/8 project. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154541955224
