Thanks, can I park in the carpark right next to it (NE)? It show an automatic barrier at the entrance of the carpark on Google earth

Where is the best place to park? I'm looking at Google earth right now at the spot shown in the video

I have cut off the front grill as when hitting stuff (especially sign posts!) the bumper flexes so much that it shattered the frond end of the shell Cut out the triangles just behind the roof to aid cooling Replaced the steering servo horn for a stronger one and mounted the ballend on the inside of the horn to eliminate some of the flex from the mechanism (could do with a faster servo) Removed the rear brace and made a new rod which mounts onto the center diff mount and then made a 'top deck' which mounts on top of the center diff rod end to the front gearbox. Cut two plates measuring about 110 x 50 covered them with 2mm foam and put them on the body posts and the body on top. This stops the shell from flexing and bouncing all over the place and ruining the looks when in action Filled the center diff with grease Stripped down the axles and applied bearing retainer to the bearings (still some to do) This helps remove vibration thus increases top speed Also used the same bearing retainer on the suspension arm pivot screws to eliminate the play in the joints. Works really well, I cover the whole pin and put a bit in each hole. Once reassembled I work the arm back and fourth every now and then for 20 mins. Used an aerosol lid to make a cover for the air filter. Tried with different lids as many are brittle. Drilled 6 6mm holes in the top of the lid at 11, 12, and 1 o'Clock and at 5, 6, and 7 o'Clock positions. Then drill a 12mm hole in the middle put the air filter inside it and through the middle hole, then push the rubber pipe on which holds it in place. To stop the air filter falling off when in use I made a wire brace to support it. If any of this interests you I maybe convinced to take a few pictures and write better instructions

It looks like I can come... Hurrah, and with one Jamie everyone else called Steve I might get your names right My caravan storage site is on the way so will drop it off then head on over I will be bringing the Ansmann SC and the kids, boy 8 and girl 5. Is there a McDonald's near by for lunch or do I bring sandwiches? PS It's remembrance Sunday, Is there a special service going on? If your there before early you might want to stop any noise at 11:00

Have you done any mods to it?

The TXT-1 is too slow to get any air, but the nitro Short course... I'm scared of breaking it!

I only intended it as an example. I make most of my own parts or buy parts from other kits to improve the quality

IMO carparks are covered with tyre dust from the tight maneuvering. It's most likely that that's sticking to the oil traces from the exhaust making it look sooty

If it work here is a very old clip of my TXT-1. It regularly changes... Now has 1 large can motor, revo prop. shafts and many more tweaks This was my first second attempt at shooting and editing a video. The sound track was removed for copyright infringement, so had it change it for open source. My first was a video of my son in a modified ride on car with two of the motors used above. Please check it out by looking at other videos from the same user (It's now an unused account)

What if I keep quiet, and sneak out of the house Sunday morning? That's the coward's way out!

Kevin... That sounds like a reverse psychology thing?

if it doesn't have droop screws or extra shock position mounts, you could run it with only one shock on each corner? Or use strong string/cord/chain to limit it? Even better strip the shocks down and put short lengths of tubing on the piston rods inside the shock, this will limit the downward stroke. ... Or buy shorter shocks?

double post!

Wife's trying to stop me from joining you, but will try to come along to say hi and show my amazing driving skills cough... cough... You'll know it's me as I look exactly like my profile picture

+1

Will ask SWMBO for permission

How many people turn out and what age group? I don't want to be the oldest one there, although it's getting harder to find someone older than me!

Thanks for the quick reply. Just been looking through the link... quite a drive for flat grass, but would like to meet up with new faces to get some tips. I've only had a Nitro for 2 months and not used it much.

Hi All, Above says it all... Is the any Bashers that meet up? Finding it a bit boring on my own. Although I have 4 friends at work that have Savage's and other similar trucks, but have only been able to get together once! I have a 1/8 nitro short course

On eBay full car RTR

I have one... can't believe how good it is for the money.

I'm afraid to say 'smoking kills'

Hi New Member here! Searching for "ansmann bent chassis" and it lead me to here. I simply had to join and post (even if the post is a little old) I have a short course truck "Ruler" which is the same rolling chassis and I've bent mine. I straightened it over the edge of the workbench and have made an almost top deck for it which nicely ties the front, center diff and rear together. Now... I'm off to look around this site for new and interesting information. TTFN...
