sandviper

Thanks guys!

It's started............... Had some good runs today, really getting back into it! Was thinking of getting a couple more batteries, what would you suggest (i.e MAH)? Something for a good power/runtime balance please. I currently have a 1700.

I must admit my heart feels that I should support local businesses, but I understand where people are coming from on price. Modelsport are a great example of a business moving with the times. However I am lucky in that I travel around the country with my job, so if i pass a model shop I often am able to go in, picked up some good bargains this way.

I can't wait! I guess I picked it because of the 'proper' bearings/included ESC, but she does look cool. I used Fastrax Yellow Glow (261), backed with Tamiya PS-1 white.

I learnt that it was a great way to meet people in my wilderness (or teenage lol) years. And that the fun you had stays with you, it's nearly ten years since I last had a RC model, but just looking at my new SandViper takes me right back!

Finally Done! Only run her up and down the drive so far, but what fun! Brings back great memories! Only thing is, building it was fun too............ I can see it won't be long before it has a friend......

Well so much for my last post - I have been able to do some! Rear suspension/gearbox, front sus., and main tub all done. Time to crack open the Acoms box!

Thanks mate. I am going to do mine as close to the box art as I can. Working away for a few days now so won't get back on it till the weekend. Be nice to have a R/C again, its been years!

Cheers guys. Have got the front uprights and rear uprights/motor/gearbox units done so far. Is it me or is there not enough grease supplied with the kit? I have managed to put a little on the bits that need it, but it was touch and go. Any recommendations for aftermarket grease?

Well I'm just about to start the build of this.......... Wish me luck! Been looking round the site for a while now, loads of good info. Happy new year to all.
