Nearly finished

Tyres look good man. I havent done yhe cable tie mod... yet, looking to copy speedy and use some sort of threaded bar

Thanks waterbok, got any pictures?

Taking shape, thinking camel yellow or ps-3 blue. Anyone know of some decent tyres that are maximum 120mm outside diameter? Big horns too big, 1.9's look hilarious, Tamiya vice crawlers the right size but I know are poor performance wise

Just in case anyone is unsure this part number is correct. Carbon steel shaft fixed

That'd be great, thanks man! No rush

hi, thanks for the reply. Shaft, cross joint and grub screw in the image above

I installed the carbon steel prop shafts to my CR-01 thinking it'd be the most reliable option. Well, one of them is fine but the other lasted 45 minutes before it lost one of its cross joints. Does anyone know if cross joint assembly part number 53500 is compatible? I didn't want to fork out another £30 for a full complete shaft when there's nothing wrong with it.

My all aluminium chassis is coming along nicely too. Tamiya aluminium dampers being made: And I made a pretty sweet looking axle guard from aluminium plate. I copied a picture of one I found online and it worked out pretty good:

the standard rock socker chassis is complete. I've put a few upgrades parts on including Tamiya aluminium base plate, aluminium dampers, some alloy parts around the axles and steel driveshafts. Rock socker body to follow

Taking ages but looked sweet!

And so the build begins at last. My son got a rock socker for xmas so building both at the same time.

I know, been keeping an eye on them. 10 ii 😎 Nice find!

Is that the 10 or 10ii? after a 10ii myself

You guessed it, more hop ups from Japan, again - less than half the price compared to U.K. The frustrating thing is I ordered the bearings last like a complete numpty so starting the building of the rig is going to be delayed as I literally can't start without them......

More hop ups slowly arriving. Utter bargain on the aluminium damper set. Paid 40% of the uk price, well worth the wait!

I've ordered a few hop ups, prices in the U.K. are ridiculous so they're taking a while to arrive from "out East" but this is the first of many.....

Great project!

I decided on the more contrasting look.

Ive loaded each wheel with 90g

Cant decide.......

Some hop ups, I'm struggling to find parts silver as standard so having to make do with blue ones.... for now Stripping the blue anodising All parts are now silver some bits responded very well and just needed a rinse off, others were left looking a bit dull. So they've been buffed. Made my hands and fingers ache like crazy.

Wheels being rebuilt too Haven't decided on the colour yet, don't know if I should go gloss black like the wheels or wait and do them the same colour as the shell. I don't like the blue anodised finish so off it comes! The Gmade bighorns will do for now but I've put new memory foam inserts in. Wheels being painted tomorrow....

That's a good idea!

I've got my hands on it now and I'm in the process of a complete rebuild, I've pulled it apart to every last nut and screw. It's seen a fair bit of use but generally in pretty good shape. Some of the bearings are in a bad way so I've ordered a complete new set. More bearings that need replacing. Where the locking pin sits is a bit out of shape so had to file it smooth again so I could get the bearings off. Loads more ore to follow.....
