Grumpy pants

@skom25 you maybe be able to help me with my motor choice as you have good experience with the XV01 chassis. I have a choice of motors of which I’ll use - Silver can Torque tuned Sport tuned Tuned Machine Modified NiMH batteries on a lawned garden. I’m not sure what the 3rd motor down is!

To me the XV looked to been well built 10 years ago, run once on the beach through sand and salt. I suspect the electrics failed and it was put away wet and sandy and then left for another day. When it came to me, all the electrics were dead and beyond that the damage is the metal parts, as expected all the plastics, shell, wheels and tyres are all in great order, just dirty and sandy. Hope that helps a bit.

After 1st round in the sonic cleaner - even I’m surprised at the colour of the water/solution now -

Morning K, Good stuff, love the action shots of your SB. My wife has plans on me moving that mulch today 😂 Can you remember what you did when you built your shocks?

Great shout the upgraded pistons, this time around I’ll use the kit stuff as I have it ready to go. The mods and upgrades will follow later 😉

@KEV THE REV what did you do with the shocks on your recent BB rebuild?

Thank you Dirt Tuned it will be, I’ll use the 15T pinion.

So much temptation 😂

Another nice RC for sale - hope it finds a new home soon in TC 👍

Glad you got this sorted Kev, I did check my tub of RC plastics for you, but there was nothing in there that would have helped.

How cool is that!

Put the plastics in warm water and washing up liquid to soften the grit before they go in the sonic cleaner tomorrow -

I’ll have a play around with it tomorrow and let you know how I get on 👍

I’ve got this week off and we’ve been away for a couple of days and this evening I’ve actually done some wrenching - wahoo 😂 Small amount on the XV01 and on the unsold Blitzer Beetle 💥

Motors I’ve got in stock - Silver can Torque tuned Sports tuned Dirt tuned Random unknown out of a TA03 I’ll run NiMH’s and have from memory 13T & 15T pinions. Mostly running in our back garden, which is about 60’ well kept lawn.
