£10 bought me a spares or repair car, but apart from the chassis tub being painted in purple, and the shell a nasty pink, all the the mechanical bits seem to be perfect [
]its now a runner, i needed to fit radio gear as the ancient acoms servo didnt seem to plug into any of my recievers.
the pink bodyshell isnt exactly great, so ive committed a big sin and stuck a scooby doo impretza shell on it [:I] which i have to admit was inspired by mud4funs one in his showroom [:P]
this is the first ever tamiya buggy ive driven, and i have to say i really like the way it goes! [8D] the sound of the 4 wheel drive reaching its top speed is brilliant, and its even got anti roll bars so its impossible to flip over, even with a heavy lexan body fitted.
the suspenion on this thing is also pretty neat. the travel is massive! the mono shock upfront is a bit odd, but seems to do the job. ive noticed there are a zillion different combinations for the shocks, so i mite have a play and see how different setups affect the handling.
before i make this one of my daily runners, are there any problems i should know about with the thundershots[?] the drive looks very strong, as does the rest of the buggy, but i dont want to push it to hard without knowing its limits [:P]
