Bit late but just use 250 should work well

25kg eBay special for me .. been fine for over a year. Will link it later

More shell spam!! It's finished. Not sure why I bothered it will be trashed again in no time.... Still, it looks aight at the moment😛

Here is my mates with belted badlands on.. he needed to fit 15mm axle extensions on to clear the front steering knuckles

When I used the 17t with mine it got Red hot, but I may of had another issues at the time like knackered diff bearings?

Ivan Stewart inspired paint job... Just need to find some decent decals.

If you have a 3 channel receiver you can buy a small switch that plugs inline with the led light bars. You can then switch the lights on/off with the handset.

Yes I put a 17T on back last summer, it's a ballistic missile, but motor gets dangerously hot very quickly. Pretty sure from memory I pulled the stock tyres from the rims pretty quickly as well.. good fun tho.

Been so busy lately not ran my car for over 6 months.... Poor thing is seized solid... Gonna strip and rebuild her over next week.

I run the Arrma Mojave wheels they work pretty well

Ah bummer, well if the drive shafts are same length i guess it could still be done? All be it a bit more expensive. I suppose you could always upgrade to the metal hopups if you wanted to do that.

I cant really say specifics it was only a quick look with the lids off side by side.. but they were very similar. Next time I see the guy who has it ill have a closer look . Its a friend of a friend.

ive had mine side by side with a typhon and they are very close!!

The Rc parts supply chain has clearly not recovered from the VIDZ!!! I think everyone has been smashing there cars twice as much whilst on furlough !😝

if you do get the arrma version post up your results! 👍

Zd rear hubs fit straight on.. turned up in real good time as well!!

Zd racing tear hubs fit a dream!

I reckon the Arrma Typhon ones will fit. I've not tried them tho. Only £10 so might be worth a punt How have they broke?, Just out of interest ?

The 1/8 zd pirates metal rear hubs should also fit the DR8 I 3d printed a cloned version of the zd hub to check it and they are identical. I've ordered a set of the aluminium zd hubs. I'll upload some pics when they arrive... May be a small delay if they are coming via the suez cannel 😉

Hi mate, other the the hinge pin brace it's a well solid car. Definitely order a metal replacement and put it straight on . Mine has taken some pretty hard hits. It just keeps going. I've changed my bearings to rubber seal, however they are all one size throughout the whole car so that's an easy job. I also made a gasket between the diff houses and chassis to prevent water ingress. Arrma vehicles also suffer with that issue. But as far as reliability goes it's been great!! well impressed!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXxaU-ZWaok Reely do a buggy based on the same chassis...looks great fun also!! Here is the part number for the shock tower wing mount. it should fit the DR8 for those of you wanting a decent place to mount a wing. Only problem is the shipping cost. i have had a look but cant find it cheaper anywhere else. https://www.conrad.com/p/reely-312037c-spare-part-rear-wing-mount-1408912

current state of my DR8. The Arrma wheels are a new edition, only one run old. I lost the poor driver trying to clear a road gap. I recognise a few users names from comments on my youtube vidz. Hello! This car has been abused since I rebuilt it. It has soaked up everything. super stoked about that!! It now has some extra free-play in the arms and hubs now so I might refresh it for the spring.

That looks like an aluminium chassis brace, what vehicle is that from? Love the paint job!! It seems the Mojave wheels are a popular upgrade. I did it with mine also. marked improvement over the stock wheels.
