How strange... Should be fixed now, hopefully!

Installed a proper, deep rear bed into the Coyote, added some scale bits and lights. Turned out nice.

Did a few bits today. Installed a deep bed so its more like an actual truck, installed some lights and a few scale bits. Looks great imo.

At lest 20 tanks by now only things that have broken were the Spur gear, the plastic shock caps and now the chassis, I should have got a brace for it but never did lol.

Another nice little run today, really enjoying this thing.

Haha yep was great fun, stuff happens! will replace it and put on the brace at the same time lol. Honestly it's a lot tougher than I thought it would be, these clones have come a long way.

Switchblade is pretty cheap and works perfectly. Use decent 2stroke oil too.

First major breakage, snap goes the chassis!!!! That's what I get for ignoring the advise for getting a chassis brace lol.

Boom, thanks for this info! The ecx temper mini diff fit in nicely with some slight modification all going now!

It's finally working properly! Had quite a few teething issues. Firstly the hyper 7 diff died instantly. The old big joes were VERY unbalanced and shaking it to pieces so I suspect that had a hand to play. I have put a HPI trophy buggy flux diff in there now which should hopefully be stronger and hold up, and it actually fits better anyway. Plus can get hardened gears for that if it ever does die. I have also gone down to a 13t pinion for now as it was getting warm seems good at the moment. Here's a little vid, on temporary old truggy wheels I had laying around lol, until I get paid and buy some new proper MT wheels. Will get a proper vid when I take it somewhere on the weekend. Can't wait to blast it properly on the weekend!

First proper run today down Breakheart Quarry with the Bristol rock crawlers group. Had a great time and the truck performed great. Only problem was the magnets aren't the best when the body gets hit it dislodges pretty easily, will make some side mounts with velcro I think.

Finally another update!! My motor arrived today, a leopard 4282 2000kv: Slightly bigger than an old 1515 I have (dead): So I got to soldering on XT90s and building. All came together nicely! So yeah all done, really happy with it! However it is way over geared with the 17t pinion, not happy at all. So I will be ordering a 14t then I can rip it properly and upload some vids I reinstalled the front drive shaft after the pics don't worry lol, just needed to do some work on the front end.

My brother recently wanted to get back into RC crawling and gave me his old Losi mini rock crawler to look at as it decided to be 3 wheel drive. Had a look and the lockers have stripped in the diff, I know it's a long shot but I cant find any anywhere, anyone happen to have either of these parts: https://www.rcplanet.com/rc-parts/r-c-car-truck-parts/losi-center-diff-locker-plastic-mini-rock-crawler-losb1434/?fbclid=IwAR2PlabpIcNHAEL_oQuU_ybM3GPTISSng7ms7xCcQDor6ROB-Kv4U7ut3qU https://www.astramodel.cz/en/catalog/losi/front-rear-metal-differential-locker-1-mrc-p12770.html?fbclid=IwAR2PlabpIcNHAEL_oQuU_ybM3GPTISSng7ms7xCcQDor6ROB-Kv4U7ut3qU If not I guess I will have to get creative lol.

She's done! the colour turned out really nice imo and looks good against the chrome. Can't wait to get it down some trails! If you're wondering about body posts, I used some magnetic mounts off ebay so none are showing, great idea imo. Just glued the magnets to the body.
