Grumpy pants

This’ll be my next project once the M-06 Beetle is completed. It came with a 1060 ESC, TT motor, CVA’s and the wheels in the picture. Unusually the front engined body and a rear motor chassis isn’t bothering me 😳 Shock and tyre tips for running fast on tarmac please - any essential hop ups will be considered…. 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 👍

It’ll be this @Juhunio - after the M-06 👍

Consider it chosen 👍

Small potato’s 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 😳

Agreed, the yellow CVA’s tie in nicely with the wheels 🎉

That’s good progress, bearings and a sale pending 💥 I’d only supply a battery if I had decent spare to include, but not otherwise.

Another great thread @Nikko85 👏

A paint brush mostly, works well for and sometimes baby wipes.

Got a little distracted by the XV and some gardening this weekend 😂

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 - I’m going to put some foam in the battery tray and call this one done 🎉

I was hoping to buy this kit, this month, but all the £199 deals have gone - you snooze you lose 😭 Oh well I guess with kiddo 5 hoping to start Uni this coming September, it’s probably for the best 😂 Thankfully kiddo 5 is the last one to go, so there is light at the end of the tunnel 🔦

There is sooo much to like about this thread!

This a gorgeous looking F-150 and the cleanest Stadium truck I have seen 👏

Just some small items actioned tonight - I should have a little time over the next 2-3 days to continue tinkering with this fun project -
