Dirt-540

Bargain!!! So tempted but I'll never get around to building it.

No worries chap

Yes am in the UK toyolien, have you got one? Is it still wet?, meaning not dried up.

Anybody got an old jar of WHITE brush on polycarbonate paint Tamiya used to make? Please let me know, cheers

If its just wet from say rain or a few puddles then its just a spray of WD-40 or GT-85 on moving parts but if its got muddy or really dirty then i'll clean it otherwise it goes straight back on the shelf after a brief lookover. If I do deem a clean neccasary; Rinse with hose, then tweezers and brush (whilst still wet)to remove any stubborn bits or debris wrapped around moving parts, then douse all moving parts with WD-40 or my now preferred GT-85. I only strip down if there's a problem, usually its a wheel bearing has started to go or gearbox needs a service which is very rare.

Big thank you Mad Ax, lots of info there that's great. Have made lots of notes My original interests were these RTR models; Hobbytech CRX2 Peugeot 504, FTX Outback Tracker and the Tamiya CC02 Defender kit. All based on asthetics though... I need reliability and available spares too, so I need to rethink all this... but thats half the fun Thanks Mad Ax

As youve a bit of experience in the Scale/Crawler side of things... what would you recommend to a newbie? I love scale lookers rather than super capable off roaders, thougn Id like something that is a bit capable as Id get bored quick if it just soley looked good. Dont want much do I

Thank you all, think I might just buy the body set and marry it to a more popular capable chassis with spares in an abundance.

Anybody know much abut these CRX2 chassis'? I really love the Peugeot 504 bodied kit but want to know that it performs well and spares are easy enough to get hold of and what parts are prone to failure.

As seen in photos (no electrics included), will include everything else; Bodyshell with LED kit including flickering custom scale exhaust plus window wipers. LED kit simply plugs into the binding port on any 2.4 receiver. There is 2 additional holes on bonnet which are taped up and painted white to hide them, they're from where I put it on another different chassis for a while. Wheels and chassis(TT01) which is ball-raced, oil CVAs, turnbuckle and ball joint steering. Will include plastic motor mount (not the alloy one), will include motor pinion and servo-saver plus hubs have brake discs. Looks great tearing up and down the street at dusk. Scuffed up wheels from use, will also include the drift set too, body has very few scuffs and some of the panel lines are coming off though easily replaced. £90 Paypal or pick-up Any questions please ask

Brilliant and thanks Grumpypants

Love the look of that! Please give me first refusals if or when you move it on. Is the chassis a front wheel drive?

You in the UK?
