A facebook bargain i couldnt turn down brushless banzai and 2 shells for 70£ yes please! How fast will she go 😛

Car stand (mainly for rebuilding shocks), some front arms for the B6.1, some front tyre foams, some black grease for CVDs and finally the CORRECT drive shaft for the XB4. I’m very glad the drive shaft has arrived as I’ve got a race on Sunday and didn’t really want to run the car with the bent one.

Okay, I may have a chassis. Comes with silver can and HW1060 ESC, TX/RX and a slightly tatty body. Has a few nice hop ups and a box of parts too. I'm not prepared to reveal yet 🙂 It's right on the budget limit though. So, making the rules up as I go along, I'm going to sell the TX/RX (and salvage an RX from another car) and recoup the sale price from the budget. This should give me breathing space for a couple of replacement parts if needed. It's also a high miler so will require a full rebuild (that's what winter evenings are for right?). Biggest problem on the car is the shocks they are definietly suited to TC stuff rather than Rally. I gather there are a few parts in the spares bin that comes with the car but I suspect it's going to get a bit bodgy if I'm to stay in budget 🙂

Did this at the tarmac BMX pump track and had a fantastic time doing it! Hahah. I love this hobby. I think I’ll upgrade the hinge pin brackets to aluminium as I’ve had to replace the plastic ones a couple of times. My aluminium bumper holder lasted for a couple of years, so not too surprised it eventually gave way. I might have to make something more substantial this time around. Titanium would be nice for some sparks, but would end up costing more than the car’s worth 😂

They gotta get rid of them somehow

any of the SkyRC dual chargers?

15T motor will get it above the box standard of 17mph

I bought a 15t brushed motor to try out in this one

This today 👍🏻

Not really updated this much, just had so much going on, anyway here's a quick update. So, after running the car in a Park & Ride for a while and being happy with it, it just kind of sat there whilst I was out bashing. I've since decided to bash it a little as it would get much more use, short version - it's great fun. Been out with it in the woods about five times now as a basher and even took it to Arc Raceway last weekend, where it performed very well as a semi racer. I left the car as it was really, just switched out the Hoon's for the DBoots it came on and just went straight on the dirt and jumps. The motor pulls great and seems to be handling the abuse well, as does the rest of the car really. I did pull out a rear bottom suspension mount with a silly landing and cartwheel, but simple fix. RPM do a front bumper that I squeezed on to offer a bit more front end deflection. The woods where we bash regularly has a lot of roots coming through due to the dry weather and a few times it's just caught the car dead, this adds a good deal more protection to the car and look pretty cool I think. We threw a GPS on it, just to see what it's pulling now and it topped out at 62MPH which is great fun, as the acceleration and punch it has is significant. My mate Ricky also filmed a little piece on it for his RC channel, which was very embarrassing but was great fun and we got some good footage of the car.

You can get a Power HD for a just few quid more than the amazon ones (now they have shot up in price). https://servoshop.co.uk/index.php?pid=HDLF20MG&area=Servo
