    Got some more yesterday and today.

    Tt02d box was well worn but contents are fine! 

    Mad bull not for me but my nephew ( I have two already) He loves my loner mad bull and his b day is coming up and he's been doing well at school so I'd thought I'd treat him!

    If our local postie brought me that lovely lot (yeah I wish!) It would be indeed in the condition of that lot! BUT our hobby/RC shops would probably use a courier so they would probably (if not certain) be thrown over my back gate or down my side alley either way they won't look as neat as them!

    Lol I had a problem with DHL doing this a while back with my axial spawn kit! Unfortunately I have no side gate just a garage so the person threw it on the roof of the garage! Lucky my neighbour spotted it and told me because I didn't!

    After running silver cans with 2 & 3s in the bullhead, and being quite impressed with the extra oomph, i plumped for a 1060 esc to run in the other vintage stuff.

    This was waiting when I got home from work,and many thanks to the person who wrote 2.44 in the value box, it'll save me a tonne of grief 😀

    I wasn't expecting them to be that small, that's an AAA battery for reference!

    Excellent esc choice! There definitely one of the best brushed esc on the market! I use them in all my brushed cars! Love em lol!

    I've had a cheap servo slip n the gears and not the splines. Ahhh good ol' Stoke on Trent, not north, Midlands ;-)

    For me it's always the splines and only after a large crash! Does my nut In sometimes!  Stoke on Trent!?!?  It's like another country to me! Anything past Stroud is north to me! Lol although I feel I'm in a strange land when I'm on the Mendips!

    Do you mean the servo saver slipping on the splines? I did check this with two TipEx marks, it's not that.

    Mute be those gears then!  These cheap servos can be false economy sometimes but there ok for shelfers!

    I guess your feeling won't prove you wrong.

    I took a look at the DT-02 gearbox. The Lunchbox wheelie bar will not fit, as the mounting screw sits to close to the gearbox, and there's only one screw hole on the left gearbox half, but not on the right half.

    From looking at the Blitzer Beetle's manual, it seems it could be used if the motor and gearbox half will be in line at the screw shown in the picture. For using the wheelie bar, the mount width mustn't be wider than 18 mm, and the bottom plate of the bar is made to fit close to the Lunchbox/Grasshopper gearbox. BUT I can't test this, as I don't own that particular chassis.

    This shows how the wheelie bar is attached at the Lunchbox (the bar is 1 metal part, even if it may look like 2 parts on this picture).

    You can fit the LB/MP wheelie bar to the DT02 gearbox!

    all you need to to is drill out the Screw holes on the gearbox and wheelie bar slightly and remove the "lip" on the bar.

    or you can make a little notch in the gearbox so there is no need to remove the lip.

    I have tried it both ways on a spare box and bar!

    some of the boys down here are finding M05 suits their driving, up to a whole lap faster than before

    supposedly traction-rolls less than M03 once you've got the grip sorted out

    I can concur with WillyChang on this as i am now running a good 1 - 2 seconds faster (outdoor) at my local with my M05 than i was with my M03L! (not a lot but it makes a big difference)

    But others racers are noticeably slower with the M05. Its horses for courses really!

    Its easy to rally a tt01 and it costs next to nothing to do!

    First you need to chop out some of the bumper to allow the arms to travel downward father.

    Then you need to make some steering arms because the originals wont travel down far enough.

    Then you need to chop this bit off the front arms (its the bottom bit)

    Grab yourself some standard TL-01 dogbones and drive shafts (don't forget to change the gears in the diff to standard TL-01 ones)

    I then fitted a set of C.V.A shocks (I put the stem of a balloon over the springs to keep the debris out)

    These mods give you some good ground clearance!
