Thanks guys. I did think that the other day but on closer inspection decided it wasn’t. I’ll check again later.

Update to the Enduro. New body, Yeah racing driveshafts - had to shorten the outer sleeve on the front as it was a little long and stopping full compression. Fastrax Brass C hubs and carriers. Annoyingly will have to change front bumper as the wheels hit it on full lock. Added a pic of more of the fleet. Hobao Hyper VS Pro (won courtesy of Hobby comps) Daughters FTX Vantage, converted into Carnage with 17mm wheel adaptors and wheels.

Yeah probably help. do you happen to know what size standard hex is? I’ve seen 8mm available from Samix (if we can get that in UK) but probably not really worth it if standard is 6mm or something. cheers.

Thanks fella. Just because the rear wheels now catch the shell. I could perhaps space the wheels out a bit more, but the 6 bolt hex thingys seem to have a slightly odd size on those steelies.

Cheers guys. Few issues with things touching the body and steering link hitting shock springs. just waiting on some longer steering plates which should stop that and the cab only body should sort out the rear end. Front driveshaft hits the battery tray too so could do with somewhere else to locate it. Hopefully getting a 3D printer off the Mrs for my 50th in a few weeks so should be able to make something (if I can work out how to use it) 😂

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

I’ve got an Element Enduro Builders kit 2 that I’m awaiting a few bits for.. hard plastics, Rock Pirates Interceptor chassis etc and I want to paint up a cab only body. it seems only off the shelf ones are cliffhanger and power wagon. looking for inspiration. thanks.

Cheers fella. Good shout. rig looks awasome. incidentally as part of my build I’m considering moving the battery. Which is a better location for an LCG either on the side skid or the front location as now but lowered a little (if possible) thanks.

Cheers guys.

Hi guys. I’m starting a bit of an LCG build with mu enduro builders kit 2. I have a Rock Pirates Interceptor chassis on its way to me. Have mounted SOA with Artful Dodgers kit and the next thing I wanted to do was fit a cab only body. I was wondering how you guys attach the rear of the body with a cab only rig? front is easy using body pins as normal, however is there a way you guys do the rears? Rock pirates do a hardline rear bed that can be used however this isn’t cheap then add a load of shipping cost (From US) and it soon becomes expensive. also adds more rearward weight that I don’t want. cheers.

Cheers guys. The pro version comes with those as std.

So, took the spur gear off today and spun the motor by hand. A little resistance but easy to turn. good start turned the wheels with no spur so obvs no motor interference- all drivetrain. Again a little bit of resistance but hardly any. still good. pop spur gear back on entire drivetrain feels tight again. it’s not like something is binding it just feels like there are brakes on a little or like you are acting against motor torque or something. Maybe it’s normal, but it feels like it wouldn’t really slowly descend on say a 30degree slope. motor is a Holmes Crawlermaster sport 12t if that helps. incidentally I have noticed the angles of the axles are a bit weird, front tipped down at the front and back ripped down at the rear. Is this normal? I have got the arrows lined up on the hub carriers but it looks a little odd. cheers guys.

Cheers guys.

Thanks fella Do I submerge the entire motor inc brushes in water and run it direct from battery? If so how long do I do it for? Thanks.
