Nice, Ye we still have it somewhere. Might be able to make a blueprint for it somehow and send it off. Its a shame to have a good truck laid up because of one part. Thanks

Anyone on here got a 3D printer they can use to knock up parts? My brother has an olf Losi High Roller which has stripped the idler gear and is now useless. Seems a shame to throw it for such a small part. You can 3D print them but I believe it neds to be a good printer that can make reinforced plastic from multiple spools. I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. TIA Mick

I got this thing running today and got her going like a bat out of he'll. So fast in fact, it **** the pinion gear off the clutch and sent it flying to the gods....so ye that's more work to do.

Well, I was looking for front suspension upgrades for the brat and Google and stumbled on this old post! Haha what are the chances. Still looking 13 years later by the way. I just got her running again today with my new 2.4g receiver and some parts I botched together. Anyone know of a decent set of tower for front shocks? I seemed to do a good job of upgrading the rear shocks in my past attempt it seems and she rides really well at the rear.

Will it be contaminants getting in that wears the steel? That would be my guess anyway

Nice I'm glad you enjoy it. Mines in rough shape lol all the wheels are shot on it, I think it's the age as well as being well used. I'm gonna get one of them gt3 controllers and just run that in em all I think. Not too bothered about insane speed as I have the 30cc baja if I wanna go full hog lol.

Oh mine isn't a nitro it's a 30cc 1/5 2 stroke. Will it be powerful enough to apply the brake? It doesn't take that much to be honest to lock the wheels

Nice one. I've ended up with a nitro baja thing off my mate as well so might as well get that rigged up as well lol

Nice one, cheers everyone. Will the receivers foe the gt3 work with a mechanical speed controller as well? Should do I imagine.

Oh cool that looks decent. Is there much difference in the gt3b and c variants?

Wow, not been here for a good while. I recently pulled out my old TL01 castrol toms Supra and my Subaru Brat, both look to need some TLC and possibly new electronics. Is it worth keeping them old school or getting some more modern gear in them to bring them up to speed? Like a better receiver, transmitter, esc and motor (possibly brushless). I don't seem to have gotten any of them running at 1st glance but not dug too much in to it. Looks like a mouse got to the receiver on the brat so that's cream crackered. Also acquired a rising fighter with a brushless esc in but looks to have been ridden hard and put away wet and not working. What's a good place to start checking everything is working? It's been so long since I built them I've forgotten most of it. Cheers Mick

Ye I wasn't going to make it ridiculous with brushless and all that. If I'm honest I can't see the appeal of brushless. Nice 16t brushed motor or something and a few minor tweaks for extra strength if needed.

Haha ye I should hope not. Ye I am really considering this as my next car looks sick.

Thanks for the opinions. It sounds like a really good little machine think I might have to get one. I have noticed the tyre's look like they have very fine treads. Very helpful as always. Thanks -MickRosco

Sounds brilliant. Really tempting to go and get one. Ye body clips and wheels nuts are fine I got loads. I have been looking at youtube video's and it seems so planted over rough ground. Are the stock springs any good or would they need uprating as well? Cheers -MickRosco

Hello, Just wondering what everyone thinks to the Stadium Blitzer. I have been looking at it for a couple of days and I think it looks good but am noticing that parts are quite scarce and upgraded parts are also few and far between. Just wanted to know if anyone has/had one and what they think to the performance and suck of this model. Thanks -MickRosco

Ye I was looking at the TL-01B a few months ago. Looks quite good but the DB looks sick. So does the Kyosho but only problem is it's RTR so. Maybe I might get a second hand non-runner and restore it. Hmmm who knows yet.

That looks right good. I am going to stick the servo in the center as well because it is just such a stupid design being at the side like it is. I like your shock tower, I almost started building one but managed to get a hold of some CRP shock towers (thanks shwng1973 ). Good luck with the nerf bars and post up some pics when it's done. Cheers -mickrosco

Ye that's exactly what I was thinking. I am a plumber so it should be no problem lol. Before you hurry on and look at doing that though I shall send you a PM. Thanks MickRosco

Thanks alot mate.

OK mate thanks for that.

One of these? http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/65363/

Anyone know what these Kyosho DB's are like? They look quite sick actually from what I have been seeing. Bigger machine as well which could be something new.

Nope they're like rocking horse sh*t mate. Might have to try and make some. Aluminium bar from a DIY shop. 6-7mm or so.

I call it the Subaru BRAP LOL. Just need to figure out a way for the front wheels now.
