So, long time no update!! This buggy has been great, bit this year I tried a bit of racing with it, and I think the motor has finally given up!! So hopefully at some point soon I should be taking delivery of a 3.0, a 2.0eu, and another 1.0 this nitro will be upgraded to the 3.0, with a brand new motor which I'm very excited about running! and will hopfully be competing next year the 2.0EU will be converted to brushless, again maybe to compete next year, and then out of the bits left over I plan to make 1 running 1.0 to sell on

Basically all Sold!!! All thats left now is a couple of sets of wheels and tyres, they are listed in another thread!!

As Title, I have for sale the last of my RC drift bits, I'm after £20 posted for the lot! one full set of mst wheels, silver, 3mm offset, fitted with a pair of CSR hard, and FRF hard, ideal for carpet! One pair of GA26 Hard tyres, again ideal for carpet, one full set of chrome wheels, 3mm offset, no tyres, set of 4 o rings, good for fitting tarmac tyres to MST rims, selection of 4 wings, one set of stand offs to swap between them, one comes with standoffs built in! 2017-11-24 16.37.46 by Ben Hawkes, on Flickr 2017-11-24 16.38.14 by Ben Hawkes, on Flickr 2017-11-24 16.38.28 by Ben Hawkes, on Flickr 2017-11-24 16.38.42 by Ben Hawkes, on Flickr 2017-11-24 16.38.52 by Ben Hawkes, on Flickr 2017-11-24 16.39.44 by Ben Hawkes, on Flickr

I made some out of 18mm ply, painted black, holes cut for 3 Allen keys, a screwdriver, fuel bottle, wheel wrench and two glow starts, black straps for handles, and a bit of velcro to hold it down. I have a spare that you can have for postage and a drink? I can send you some photos tomorrow evening (I'm working late today)

at some point ion the future, I should end up with a losi 8ight buggy roller for sale, I will be buying myself a brushless conversion so I could buy two, convert it, and sell the roller to you! When are you hoping to have one by?

If anyone it interested, this is now for sale, complete with everything bar the shell. There is a sale thread in the for sale area! sad to be leaving the Drift scene, but it has sat unused now for a year apart from 3 outings, and would much rather someone got some use out of it!!

So I have had a couple of updates! Since fitting the spool diff in the back, I have had nothing but issues the whole time! I stripped spur gears, diff gears, I the fitted metal diff gears and machines spurs then it snapped drive shafts but it didn't half drive well when it did drive! So I have now changed it to a aluminium ball diff, still with metal gears! The car ran a whole battery with no issues! It drives pretty well, not as good at flat our driving as you end up with a wheel ballooning still, but tight turns are much better, and touch wood, no broken parts! So fingers crossed!

found a good tarmac carpark right opposite my work. fresh tarmac in summer, dead smooth but on a slight hill which makes things a little more interesting! try and get an evening organised over there or a weekend play!

Also in the future I may end up with new dogbones, hubs and drive cups, see how they hold up to the stress of spool diff and more power!!!

Bot a huge amount now! Rear arms, hubs and dogbones, rear shock upright, front arms, shock upright, hubs, steering rack, servo mount! That's about it!

New gears are here and fitted So now the bumpers can go back on and it's pretty mich there! Ita pretty quick, even on low acceleration it is rapid! Can't wait to start ramping the speed up juat need to build the top deck and get a battery strap for my mount

Cheers im trying to make it as good as possible, I quite like the sct look, especially when it's bouncing around across a Beach or something

Put all the numbers into one of those calculators aswell and it came out with a theoretical top speed of 97mph with original gearing! What ive ordered should leave it at about 40 which seems much more manageable!

So done plenty of maths tonight worked out my gear ratios, final drove ratios, and roll out for my wheels! Turns out the current ratio was about 1:6, 6 turns of the wheels to one turn of the pinion! After lots of reading I've ordered the gears to get it down to 1:1.5 or so, so should be much better all round just another few days of waiting for parts before I can finish it

It's really getting there now mst rear gearbox, spool diff, gears and motor mount, modified to take the arms and suspension in one piece And all getting mounted in modified an old Losi 8ight receiver box to house my receiver, should be a bit more water and sand proof Just need to change the gearing a bit as it is clogging and struggling to get moving, but I have a huge range of options now for gearing so hopefully I can get it just right

Cheers I'll hopefully have it done on the next few days

So that's the chassis fully cut out and drilled, and now the protective film is off and put the bends in the chassis And bits getting mounted back on

New chassis is all cut out and stuff is starting to get mounted on, all my parts have arrived apart from bearings which should be here tomorrow then I can get it put together properly! Going to be a bit of a beast I think now being able to handle full power from the motor

Started on the new chassis out of some 4mm plate aluminium

right then, got the new bit of aluminium coming for the chassis and top deck, put the order in with Soul RC in northampton for all the bits they have in stock, and then the rest is coming from Taiwan, hopfully should have the chassis cut and drilled this weekend, and start getting the some of it mounted next week, then pick up from soul and stuff from Taiwan from next week Cant wait to turn the power up on the ESC now it should take it
