      Hi sorry for the late reply....it went to Australia months ago.

      Sorry.

  2. I have previously ran a spare but it's not great for the COG. As for the course I've lots of pics but struggling to get large files uploaded. Might try Tapatalk again but it keeps messing up of recent.
  3. Finishing touches to the grey one including mirrors and a couple of coats of flat on the canvas roof canopy. Overdrive and alloy steering links will finish it for now.
  4. Looks great 12h87 these are good value too aren't they? I am tempted but it will be battered in no time 🤣
  5. Well I've not run the white one for what feels like a couple of very cold months now so it's spent some time on the bench getting a new front overdrive kit,some brass knuckles and a lovely alloy steering linkage from Treal. I've removed some of the weights from the front axle to offset the new knuckles and it feels nice.,......it cleared the one line I have never managed previously during my 40 minute shakedown with the new gear on. I've not run with the new linkage yet.....it's fitted and feels great,it's good enough that I had to turn my steering down some way before I was happy ....without end points this mod will test your drive cups and dogbones.The kit soft plastic allows the dog bone and cup to oscillate at the extremes of the steering travel....not so with these. Got a nice scale bundle from EBay too sold the big bits(performance downgrades IMO) but kept the rubberised mirrors....I've cut and placed the reflective decals,measured,marked,measured again at least 5 times more before finally making the holes. This is one of the first scale upgrades I fancied,I mostly go for performance with the scale side taking a bit of a back seat but I love these funky little mirrors. Yoshi
  6. I've had a lot of fun with this especially in this snow but it's now up for grabs. Recently serviced it's had all new dust boots for axle's and suspension arms and carb,full engine reseal with carb orings for good measure.All shocks were rebuilt and all the geometry has been set properly. Air filter is freshly cleaned and oiled. I have only just swapped front tyres to rear to keep wear equal for the first time so you can see how little use it's had. Motor tick over is rock solid and starting is easy once primed.The engine has good compression and holds a tune very well. This Revo has reverse and a two speed box but the factory Optishift(nothing but bother from day one hence very little use overall) has been removed and reverse is controlled via a 4th channel on the DX4C radio. You could save some money by using your own radio but to have reverse working as well you will need a minimum 3ch system a Y lead can be supplied for the twin steering servo if you are using a 2 or 3 channel system. If using a 2ch set up reverse will need to be locked out or I can do this for you before dispatch. It's complete but for a charger and some fuel,there's no bodges and no parts need replaced anytime soon. The body shows signs of use and the chrome on the wheels is peeling but other than that it's ready to go. Postage and PP or collection in person north east. Complete with radio all set up delivered I pay fees 270 No radio but complete 220 delivered. If collecting in person save £15. Yoshi.
  7. I think its literally hundreds of hours work to get a mould all set up from scratch.... this guy has and I'm loving his products 🤓
  8. Kit masks are poor so don't bother,just use them as templates for some masking tape....only another 3hrs polishing the creep off... Masked inside and out,clear rear lamps and headlights/front indicators,Matt finish soft top Looking at the 67 ford brochure......there's were some cool colour combos...liked the understated orange and some of the metallics too but I settled on gold in the end and although I've a bit of clean up to do the window rubbers are done and I'm just about to do the grill detail.....I've left it till last....not sure what to with it tbh. Yoshio it in. Yoshi
  9. It's not far off at all,much lighter than stock too it's more like an ultralight race body, it's sure to bring the COG down. Still to trim the front panel as I've left as much on as possible for first fit.
  10. Wow now that is nice...extra scale mini body in the parcel too 😎 Really looking forward to this paint job. Yoshi
  11. No sooner do you paint one and you find another 'must have'.....inspired by my new grey CRC ...... just found this site over on FB there's a few good looking shells there.....67 Bronco on its way 🤓 Icebergrc.com
  12. Bet you can't wait 😉 I love my two,such a great little platform. Yoshi
  13. Used scx bundle,all used but for three of the tyres and the scale euro plates and lcg relocation plate. 35 the lot delivered I pay fees too Ono will split. May trade other bodies or body for Revo nitro. Yoshi
