Thisโll be my next project once the M-06 Beetle is completed. It came with a 1060 ESC, TT motor, CVAโs and the wheels in the picture. Unusually the front engined body and a rear motor chassis isnโt bothering me ๐ณ Shock and tyre tips for running fast on tarmac please - any essential hop ups will be consideredโฆ. I have a good selection of M chassis wheels and tyres now and a selection of brushed motors, silver can, TT and Sport Tuned to use before buying anything else ๐

Itโll be this @Juhunio - after the M-06 ๐

Consider it chosen ๐

Small potatoโs last night, fitted the servo and R/X, tested the motor and ordered a small box of parts from Time Tunnel. Wheels/tyres next and then shocks while I wait for my order to arrive. Not sure on whether to pick up my Grasshopper next or the M-08?

Do you glue your tyres on? The manual says yes ๐ณ

Agreed, the yellow CVAโs tie in nicely with the wheels ๐ -

Grumpy pants replied to CoolHands's topic in General discussions
Thatโs good progress, bearings and a sale pending ๐ฅ Iโd only supply a battery if I had decent spare to include, but not otherwise. -

Another great thread @Nikko85 ๐ -
How do you clean your RC cars/buggys?
Grumpy pants replied to RC_Hobbyist's topic in General discussions
A paint brush mostly, works well for and sometimes baby wipes. -
Got a little distracted by the XV and some gardening this weekend ๐

XV-01T Rebuild - Slow with Qโs! ๐
Grumpy pants replied to Grumpy pants's topic in Build Tips and Techniques
Body posts trimmed, ESC swapped for one with a deans plug and crossmembers fitted. Officially LiPo only now for this car, my 1st committed move over from NiMH. For me the Tamiya TT motor and 2s feels like the right set up. I had the ESC, 2 LiPo 2S batteries and a suitable charger already, so no additional spending needed which is great - Iโm going to put some foam in the battery tray and call this one done ๐ -
I was hoping to buy this kit, this month, but all the ยฃ199 deals have gone - you snooze you lose ๐ญ Oh well I guess with kiddo 5 hoping to start Uni this coming September, itโs probably for the best ๐ Thankfully kiddo 5 is the last one to go, so there is light at the end of the tunnel ๐ฆ
