Coops

👍 Slow and steady progress, coming on nicely.

Was talking to my lads the other night whilst out walking past a lake - what happens when your RC boat runs out of battery?

Me and the lads had a damn good bashing session outside the house! No1 son barrel rolled his down a ditch, his shell is busted, he says he's having my new one No2 son crashed and knocked the dog one out, quickly repaired I just stayed out their way and avoided them lol I've then velcro'd the ESCs back down on mine and No2 sons.

Shame. Hope you can find it.

👍 Good man Chris, you'll love them!

Have you tried JK-RC on eBay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/jkrcuk Has lots of parts from various kits so maybe able to source?

You'll be having the new Lamborghini Sian then 😂 I've got the 911 GT3 and LR Defender in Technic. The Sian is no different to Chiron ,just different body,there's nothing new on it.

Thanks Chris, yes it's a Delta. My fav rally car 👍🏼 I'll take a look at MCI. I'm a bit of a Lego nut 🤪 and the collection across the house is fairly substantial. You'll love the Speed Champions ones. Which have you gone for?

Replaced spur gear and slipper clutch assembly on the lad's SCT. He replaced the front dogbones with CVDs 👍🏼

Built from parts. 218 to be precise! I had some already and ordered the balance from Bricklink. Cost about £15 in total.

Built another car to go alongside my Speed Champions: Here it is in comparison to it's old stable mate and partner:

Arrived today - 2x spur gears and a set of front CVDs. The lad can make a start this afternoon!

^^ Jeez, I remember those battery packs from when I had my first Tamiya - think they were in the Wild One?

👍🏼 I checked the set inventory but couldn't see them, glad you can complete it.

Got all settled down at around 915 to watch and then the damn weather scuppered everything. Hey ho, Saturday it is.

Excellent. Are the seats built out of parts? You can get the man off Bricklink - I've just checked.

Nothing - waiting on some LC parts from MakeItBuildIt

Great idea, and well done @TWINSET

Batmobile coming on nicely. Gotta love the new Speed Champions models, much better scale 8 studs wide rather than the previous 6.

I've made it look worse but this was just a hairline crack.

How does it come out and the hinge pin remain in place?

I had a look but couldn't find a metal one. Got a plastic one on order so we'll see how that goes.

Been investigating the ripping / grinding sound from the lads SCT, was happening under full power and I think it's the spur gear. It looks like a few teeth are missing and others are very worn down. I've got one ordered. He was also having a problem when turning, it would lock up - turns out it has dogbones in the front rather than CVDs! Didn't even know. So got a pair of those on order too. And on the other lads MT, the hinge pin came out the suspension arm twice. Need to investigate that because at first glance it looks like it just came out the front hole only, the back one was still in ?! Must be a split in front part. Just seems to be one thing after another this week with cars!
