  1. It may not be your motor making noises, I had a simlar thing with my Falcon and it turned out to be a striped spur gear. If you want to replace your motor then you base your choice on what you plan to do with the truck. If you want it to drive through thick mud and climb stuff etc then you want a higher turn motor which gives better torque but lower speed. If you want your truck for speed then I think the BZ is the one for dirt although a good 19t would be good too.


  2. RTR's arent all bad, take the Sportwerks Recoil it can do 25mph out of the box and if you dont like somone building it for you then there are kits avalible. The car uses a Fibre glass Chassis and you get the full works on the Suspension and drivetrain side of things the only downside being its only a 1/14th scale and not 1/10th.


  3. Being able to blast through the dirt without flipping or scuffing my paintwork and having an appearence that fits aswell. Atm the Vans mostly dark colours with yellow wheels and no sunroof glass present. I think I might know where Ive got a spare 21t Motor so I might be sorted there too, Just the Handleing problem as my Idiot friend never gave me the kit for converting it to oil shocks. Basically I just need the Brackets as Ive got 4 spare oil shocks albiet yellow ones.


  4. I painted a whole LB body in Humbrol and Revell Enamel which is acctually intended for Airfix type Model kits not RC but It gave me briliant results. Its Painted Scooby van style with Murals of the gates of death and the grim reaper on its sides. Only thing that looks out of place is the bright yellow wheels which I can soon change once I get around to taking 'Dead Metal' out in the dirt again.


  5. The Falcons not dead, its my fastest electric with its 15t motor but its just not the best for winter weather, thats why Ive started looking at my Lunchy again. Ive got a few oil shocks spare but I really want to avoid cutting into the Chassis where possible, if youve got the bits for the suspension conversion going spare I might take them as I never got the ones a mate owed me. Dont really want to do stickers either as the Custom paint took hours to do and it would be a shame to cover it.

    I can trade my spare 15t for a 19t as my esc should be able to take it, the 15t is unused since I got it from Time Tunnel early this year.


  6. Ive got a budget of wait for it...... zilch. Im flat broke. My Lunchy is well a bit on the soggy side to say the least so I wonder if theres anything I can do thats free or uses some of the parts I do have. Its already Mildly customized with its Paint job, light kit and absence of Sunroof, other than that its stock everything for a repo of course. Parts I have are some Falcon spares and a Annsmann Smacker Chassis with a 21t Motor fitted. I also have a spare 15t but I doubt the LB will get on with it considering its got the **** stock suspension and Tamiya's base ESC.

    Left over from a Nitro Ive got for black wheels although the tyres are fairly worn (Burnouts = Fun). I can fabricate some stuff.

    So you guys think you can help?


  7. Ive got a 15t Ansmann clash which was intended for a car I never got in the end and its of course to fast for my LB so I need something like a 19t or 17t. The Motors Unused and in its box, Id like the same of the motor in trade but I dont mind used if its a decent one.

    Thanks.


  8. What is after run oil and how do you use it? Ive had a Nitro a little while now but Ive only ever tightend bolts and greased bearings etc. Ive got a Inferno running a GX21 which seems good for 45-50 mph on grass but Id like to see if itll go faster


  9. Time tunnel will proberly have something, My mate got one of the deal chargers from there with his Gator, I think they are about 15 on their own and batterys can be brought from them for not too much or alterintively on ebay. Ive had a Carson 1900 for a while and its been ok so perhaps one of these might work for you.


  10. I was looking at stickers in this case as it seems a waste to buy a whole pot of orange and not have another use for it right now as the weathers too good atm for building my Munsters static kit.

    Ill settle for a half tin of brush on paint if it works out less than a full one insted of decals
