  1. Hi everyone, been a while since my last post regarding this rebuild. One of the reasons was I was holding out on getting some original Hornet Decals. I eventually got some at a good price and spent some time recently finishing the car off. Thanks for reading!! Now on with the Lunchbox Restore. http://rcrestoration.blogspot.co.uk/
  2. hey guys, as mentioned before in my Hornet Rebuild thread I started and finished my GH2 rebuild. http://rcrestoration.blogspot.co.uk/ Check out the post and pics! Lunchbox next!!
  3. I ended up replacing the head of the MSC and the resistor. Car is working as expected now! Time to get it on ebay. haha
  4. Thanks, but I am running a 540 motor already.
  5. Thanks, Yonez. The wireless and soldering all look good. So perhaps the resistor is faulty or the connections are poor. I have some spares so will give them ago.
  6. Hey guys, hoping you can help. I'm rebuilding a Grasshopper 2 but having issues with throttle. Basically there is no gradual power just full throttle or full reverse!! I have an original mechanical speed controller. Has anyone else had this?
  7. I've just added a quick update to my blog. Shell is now painted and ready. Next step is to pain the driver! http://rcrestoration.blogspot.co.uk/
  8. I know what you mean, working on this hornet has been great. I'll be sad when it's done! HahaAwesome work on your restores too mate!!
  9. Hey Mongoose, thanks! I certainly am taking my time. Want it to look as good as new. lol The vinegar works a treat. Needs to be distiller vinegar. It basically looks clear in the bottle. I used it on all the screws to make sure there was no rust and used a cheap toothbrush to scrub them up. I've just finished painting the driver and body so next update to come soon.
  10. Hey guys, new to the forum but thought I'd post up my progress with my first rebuild. I chose the Hornet as it was my first ever R/C back as a kid. Unfortunately he died when I crashed it into a lamp post! I was lucky enough to find one on eBay so got cracking into restoring it to it's full glory. Details of where I am upto are on my Blog. http://rcrestoration.blogspot.co.uk/ Even though this once isn't completed I have managed to win another auction for my 2nd car as a kid - The Lunchbox! I'll be starting that next along with A Grasshopper which I won alongside the Lunchbox. So plenty to keep me busy!
