Well..... the big purge is starting. If you guys remember I was laid off last year and while it was fun not having to work every day I'm starting to list some cars off on ebay. Also, since my wife has taken a job too my mother has decided to move in and "help"...... so that means no more office/man cave. Ive spent the last two days figuring out what I'm really ok with selling and started taking pics all while moving things out of my office and into other parts of the house. Here's an example. Before After The Wild WIlly body is my original from my SWB which is next in queue to be worked on.

nitro fuel works great too! I'm taking the paint of a poorly painted DF01-Blazing star Before Right now Just need to soak the last few edges and done! the only weird thing Ive noticed.... Over spray does not want to come off.... the coated paint comes right off though.

1, these are not the same wheels from the LB 2, the truck is pretty *******in heavy and imo those jumps are pretty big for this chunky monkey and depending on cold it could impact the pliability of the plastics used to make the wheels. 3, foams will help it to an extent, but then the poor suspension design for this rig will really start to show. Finally.... the gf01 wheels/ tires are a bit sturdier than the current wheels they would/should hold up better. mic drop......

you mean gone?? They shuttered their doors.

Ah, it is I believe! I need to buy one of those magazines

So, started moving out RC cars and I liked this DT01 better than my shelf queen so it's staying for now. Figured Id use these otherwise useless GF01 wheels on it too. Oh and demolished the DT02 for its cleanup/rebuild. Also non-Tamiya but I cleaned up two TLR SCTs to get them rebuilt into decent neighborhood bashers

Hey guys, as you know on some cars I'm not keen on putting out a price to sell some cars and would rather let the people do the talking so I tend to use ebay (keeps low ballers at bay albeit does cost a fee but I feel it more than offsets the low ball offers ) I had bought one from a member here and the Mas fighter planning on using them as runners for the neighborhood kids and kids at heart to run around but realized they wont cut it due to a nice 1" lip in our driveway entries would send these cars into orbit or flip or break something so I need something bigger. The one I picked up from the member was too nice for me to want to sell so I am keeping it and selling my shelf queen.... Here's a pic of the DT family. That being said, I have two nice looking DT01s up for grabs on the bay right now. One is a never run shelf queen Fighter buggy RX, and the other is a nice condition Mad fighter. Here's your chance to score them cheap... (unless the ebay gods choose otherwise ) https://www.ebay.com/itm/292414816810?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 https://www.ebay.com/itm/292414821999?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 as always, I will ship Overseas on your dime.

Pm incoming

Heck, link where I can order two

Yeah, I know.... but it's hard to let go of them. Ive never run mine but would hate to see it go, had you offered something I couldn't refuse though it would be on its way to you...lol

hmmm, name looks familiar........ RCTech?

man those are awesome!! Even for their intended use!!!!!! Never knew they existed.....

DF03RA- TL01RA- These two would be my suggestions.... That or the XV01 which I hear is pretty awesome (never owned one of these though).

Nope a lot of them are through hobbico as US distributors. Hpi is not a part of them..... at least from what I read

Pretty majorly as they are tower hobbies, wonder if this also had to do with the Traxxas lawsuit over copyright infringement *eye roll*

Weird, never knew that the blitzer beelte and bear hawk have different gearing...... gear boxes are the same so I wonder how that was pulled off.

Hey guys, like the title states Im looking for some DF03RA parts. If you happen to have NIB spare bits is actually what Im after as I can buy a lot on ebay, but would rather work with someone in here if they have the parts and want to get rid of them as my budget is tight right now. I wouldn't mind having some mods, but my main focus is on replacing stock bits. The list is as follows Chassis 9335449 battery door 10440193 Arms 51368 X2 body mounts and bumper thingy 51367 A parts too if possible 10004432 Again if you have mods that you happen to have I wouldnt mind seeing what you have Thanks, MUD

+1 dont go crazy on too many mods till he gets the hang of it, these trucks are super top heavy and will tip over easily. Once he gets through that, you can start adding more power and mods to it.

not necessarily, depends on magnet strength

I don’t have one as I’d rather have the Thorp one seeing my MB is original, but I have read that they are better in some aspects vs Thorp.

Hey guys, need to thin the herd down a bit so starting to sell some stuff. I know that were all pretty much in the same FB groups as well so you might have seen some that I am selling for now. They are on ebay and although I listed a shipping price for the US, I will ship internationally but buyer to pay additional shipping fees. Heres your chance to try and score these for cheap. pics of the cars TL01 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/292403919951?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Super Hornet - https://www.ebay.com/itm/292403931282?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 And possibly going on the chopping block as well (the more I see these pics the less I want to sell it.....) Sonic Fighter If interested in the Sonic Fighter as its not listed on ebay, you can PM me and we can work something out. Keep an eye out as I have a feeling more will be listed on here soon.

Lunch...... i had had to look up what you were saying for guitar pick

Too bad you’re in the uk I’m about to list a new tl01

Honestly imo I would probably get a sport tuned motor for it 1st, much faster and only cost about 20$usd and you don’t need to change anything else. Adding the bearings will also be a big help too
