KEV THE REV

I switched from 27AM to 2.4g and bought the Absima set you mention . It is a good basic set up and I like it . I bought a few more Fly-sky FS-GR3E receivers ( they are the same as Absima as I believe Absima is a rebranded Fly-sky ) and paired them to the handset so I can use different cars with the same handset. The receivers are much smaller than the old 27 receivers and can fit into a chassis very easily and don't have all the old ariel wire trailing all over the place

Thanks for the reply . I saw those on Tamico , but I'd rather wait for UK stock and I'm not in a rush

Thanks Si. , All good here , looks like you're having fun over there mate

Hi all . Has anyone got a G parts tree F&R body mounts for the Stadium.Blitzer / Stadium Thunder . Good used parts will also work UK only please Thanks

We're all behind you 👍. Look foreward to seeing the progress

Incredible work , looks excellent

Outstanding work as always 👍

Thanks a lot mate , I might give it a blast when the weather improves and I get some time . I've run it indoors to test but it keeps laying down rubber tracks on the floors and I get a thick ear from the misses 👎

More pics of damper tops bolt through and turnbuckles

😎

Thanks guys , yes all good , haven't been involved a lot of late , not had a lot of free time . Hope you're ok too. I've got more pics to add later

I bought a MK1 Blitzer Beetle with MSC etc , all a bit bashed up but set about the strip and rebuild . I decided to replace the self tappers with black M3 etc to give a more stealth look . I also drilled through the chassis to front assembly holes and used bolts all the way top to bottom to add strength to this weak spot. I also drilled through the front and rear damper top mounts and used bolts right through to again add strength to more known weak spots. I bolted through the rear damper tower and bolted it to the chassis. I've fitted front turnbuckles, more for effect than anything , but they do give adjustment against wear. I also fitted fixed length rear upper links to replace the plastic . I made a ESC / receiver deck from aluminium plate . I fitted aluminium uprights and mounted the steering rod ball ends underneath instead of on top to eliminate the weird stock steering under load . Detailed the tyre lettering . The body is still in repaired state ready for warm weather painting . Bottom pic is of chassis as bought with MSC etc

late to the party , but best wishes and a Happy New Year to all

Good news that you got it working , it's quite often the simplest things .

Nice chassis . I've got a factory Monte Carlo body on a black M01 chassis with chrome mini-lites , love it
