I'm running the Yeah Racing DF-03 universals in the front of my Thundershot and Supershot with no other modifications.

Hi Yogi I can help you with everything to make the transition to lipo. It's easy as falling off a bike and if treated with respect as safe as ni-cads. PM me anytime if you want to chat and I'll give you my number. As for the weekend, Sunday arv works for me. I don't have my F189 ready yet but have a TA-02 rally and TT-01D drifter ready to run on road. Also got a Street Devil that needs a bit of work but no chance for this weekend.

Hi Yogi I don't have any at this exact moment but can get 2200mah 7.4v lipos that are smaller than the old 6v packs so just fill the gap with some foam. PM me if you need more info or we can chat when we finally meet up for a run soon. I'm keen for this weekend sometime. Anyone got a day/time preference?

Ooh nice place for some vintage on road action - good find Paul! Sorry I've been quiet lately guys, work has been killer last few weeks. You'd think they didnt know I have more import things to do like build and run RCs??? Will try and tag along on whatever the next run is.

Was a heap of fun! Thanks for posting up the pics Paul - pretty good shots for a phone camera! Hope to see you on a run soon yogi-bear - what cars have you got? Next run should be round the 8th of October - venue TBC (open to suggestions)

Hi guys! Chasing an adjustable motor mount to finish my blackfoot rebuild. Either the CRA alloy or CRP 2107 fibreglass one. New or in good used condition. PM if you have one you want to sell. Cheers Mark

Batteries charged ready to go in the morning

I think so ... Just realised it's school holidays so will be packed. Were we doing a Gold Coast run? If so might have to travel a bit further south to find a quieter stretch of sand. Anyone else keen for a day in the sun?

Except re-re Holiday buggies coz they hurt our eyes Ready for a big squishy tyre bouncing afternoon!

For sure! Sunday's run is at the park next to Mooroondu Soccer fields, Mooroondu Rd Thorneside. PM me if you want my mobile number to arrange times etc. Cheers Mark

Why don't we do a Gold Coast beach run on the 24th instead and Sunny Coast next time? Also, this Sunday afternoon Sept 11 @ 2pm a couple of us are having a run at Thorneside on Brisbane southside.

It's your lucky Dave. Sent you a PM

Looks like the weather has postponed this for now. Try again in a couple of weeks.

Seeing Scott wont come to us, I'm heading up to Maroochydore on Saturday the 27th for anyone that wants to meet for a BEACH RUN. Meet at Maroochy Surf Club round 11am for early lunch and beach run from 12 for a couple of hours. PM if you need any other details.

You mean you can hear my wife in Mackay from Brisbane? You forgot "Put that stupid toy down, act you age and help me get these kids to bed"

Yeah the plan was to run the re-re and shelf the original shell. It still could happen but I did not have the time to spend to bring it back to life again. Radio box insatlled - I managed to glue up the front part and install an Acoms 29mmhz AM receiver that has the leads coming off to make plugging easy. Also installed the original servo with some "Shoe Goo" as well as a generic 200A ESC (I sell these locally for $25) will run the silver can on 2s lipo easily. Finally a lipo buzzer to stop any chance of dropping cells below 3 volts A test run with the Acoms stick radio was a success!! Next step - mounting the body to complete the job Oh, the lipo was not pictured - I used this one 2200mah 20C Lipo

Hey thanks Old School! Most of my cars are dogs to start with - that's part of the fun. Yes the car was built to be run - will load pics of the electrics a bit later. Not sure of the difference between the original and re-re body - they look the same to me but the original was missing the roof as well as having an F1 spioler hanging off the back. the only obvious thing was the decals. Next is the chassis Front suspension - gave it a polish with WD40 and steel wool. How good do the RC Channel shocks look And mounted - re-used the original ball races on the uprights - not sure this was a good idea as there is some play in them. See how they hold up under a run. Servo saver rebuilt and installed. Next - radio box...

Been a while since I updated this build so thought I'd better finish it off since the buggy is now back with its original owner. Dash detailed Driver painted Body totally finished While I was painting the body I tried to rebuild the shocks with 1 out of 4 shocks holding oil. Luckily I found these and must say I'm very impressed. Upload some more pics and continue soon...

Hi Neal Can't believe you cant find any over there!? I have a couple of new sets of rear rims they are only like $15 here in Oz. Getting them to you will be the painful bit. Never looked into tyres coz the originals are not that great. I now run Losi 2.0 step pins. PM me if you are keen and I'll find out post cost. Mark

No website yet. I've bought my domain but not smart enough to do my own site so waiting for a mate to help me (not holding my breath). I set up shop at every boondall run or shoot me a PM and I'll give you my number to come round to the man cave for a lookee. For post orders, PM your email address and I can sent a price list. So... All the Brissy and Coast boys ready for a run Saturday?

Mark, 35 , Brisbane. Tamiya nut, Boondall regular and local seller of cool stuff like Repo Fox arms, Yeah Racing hop ups, 2.4ghz radios, brushless and lipos.

Unfortunately this isn't a cheap process so i'm in no hurry to try different parts anytime soon - I can put you in touch with the guy that made these for me if you want to.

No problem Vince 2 sets with your name on them on hold.

Hi Vince I still have a few sets of fox arms left. They are $100 a set of 4 (2x top + 2x bottom arms). Seing you are a friend of Mad Racers, I'll express post them to you for free. PM if you would like a set or 2 and I'll pass payment details on to you. Cheers Mark
