  1. The led lights are Fastrax, the Y connector was from Modelsport.
  2. Here's some pics as promised. I just drilled two 3mm holes in the back and popped the lights in, the tape holds them in and stops light shining back under the truck. Front lights fit in the headlights, I just used silicone to hold them in place and again to stop the light shining back under the truck. Not very pretty but does the job. Power is from the battery, I used a Y cable from the steering servo with no bother.

  3. Hi nick the greek. I used a 55mm shock mounted like the picture you used, just drill a small hole for the top mount and use a U bracket to mount it. Makes a big difference to the handling, especially with oil filled shocks all round.
  4. Had my Torro Tiger out in the snow for a while this morning. WP_20150113_008%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr WP_20150113_004%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr WP_20150113_001%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr
  5. Had a laugh with my Pumpkin in the snow. WP_20150113_012%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr WP_20150113_009%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr
  6. Had a right laugh playing with my Pumpkin in the snow. WP_20150113_009%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr WP_20150113_012%5B1%5D by mick e 1188, on Flickr Sorry there's no action shots.
  7. Hi Frank and Shepp75. I'm new to this tanking world too, this is a great forum, very welcoming and informative. Any excuse to post another pic of my Torro Tiger.
  8. After fitting my Absima shocks, I wasn't to happy about it sitting so nose down. So I made up a couple of spacers. So it now sits nice and level. Well happy with the new shocks, much more solid on the ground and doesn't end up on its roof so often. So far it has had. Metal bearings (wheels and gearbox) Fifth shock New shocks Sport tuned motor Front and rear lights 4600 battery Rubber bands on rear wheels. ( Ordered foam inserts ) Personal Reg Love it. #
  9. Nothing too exciting, just a new aerial for one of my controllers as my sister in laws husband knocked himself over with my Lunchbox and broke the aerial. ( the joy's of playing with them after a few beers. )
  10. 10 3x20 mm screws so I can mount my new front shocks to my Pumpkin with spacers so it sits level. ( Don't like it sitting nose down ) I only need 2 screws but thought the others might come in handy.
  11. Fitted my Absima shocks to my Pumpkin, seems much firmer, not had a chance to run it outside yet, the front sits a bit more nose down. Hopefully get it out for a run tomorrow.
  12. Repaired a bit of damage to my Pumpkin and Lunchbox after a late night bash in the garden after a few beers. ( not a good idea but a good laugh ) Fitted a full set of new Absima shocks to my Pumpkin.
  13. Got these through the door this morning, i'll have to get busy fitting them to my Pumpkin.
  14. Nice set of Absima shocks and mounting brackets for my Midnight Pumpkin.
  15. Just had a half hour in the back garden with my Pumpkin. What fun. Actually didn't break anything for once.
  16. Get them fitted and let the fun begin. I cheated with my black edition and just stickered it rather than painting it Kristian. Next you'll be wanting a 5th shock, different shocks, different engine, lights, the list is endless.
  17. Had a good day with my Torro Tiger today. Drove it round the garden for a bit. Filled and ran the smoke. Fitted rear mud flaps/guards. Painted and fitted flare launchers and stuck markings on. I know you lot love pics.
  18. Had a quick run of the Tiger round the house last night before going to friends for dinner, hopefully have more time with it today. Going to try and keep this as is for a while. Spent enough just buying it. Also spend too much money on my Lunchbox and Pumpkin. The weight of it is impressive John.
  19. How happy am I getting this through the door today. Ordered Tuesday, arrived today Saturday, Seems like an amazing quality bit of kit, just waiting for the battery to charge before the fun can begin. Torro full metal Tiger. I am one happy man.
  20. A box. With a box inside. With another box inside. With this inside. Christmas has come early. Full metal Tiger, and boy is it heavy.
  21. Got to be the best two videos I've seen in a long while. Just love Lunchboxes.
