    Scorpion Pinebeach Raceway 380 Motor Build

    in The Builds

    Posted

    The 380’s were quicker than I anticipated watching YT racing clip and it looks like it was a lot of fun 👍

    The Kyosho Beetle is one of my favourite RC’s, I’m looking forward to seeing yours progress.

    What does the HG stand for with your shocks?

    Had a little time in the evening this week to pack away the 1st box and find the tools/parts to complete the RR shell.

    It’ll be glued and bolted, and then set aside whilst I work out whether to run it on an SRB chassis or the DT02, both of which I have hiding in boxes 😆

    Made a start today -

    Trying to "level up", eh? :D

    I think the Buggy Champ body would go nice with a 380 motor and some Healthy Racing chassis (DT-02, GHII, etc).

     

    Funnily enough I did buy a Sports Tuned 380 and a DT02 in more recent times with this in mind.

    Ok @toyolien contents of box as requested.

    Every part has a story, except the spirit level, I’ve no idea why that’s in there 🤦‍♂️.

    The Lancia shell will be for an XV-02 if I can afford one before Time Tunnel put up their price @ £199.00.

    The vintage RR is beautifully painted but came to me broken in 2 places, it’ll either now get used on an SRB runner chassis or a DT02, but it needs to be repaired 1st. 

    I’ll tidy up the contents of this box, repair the RR shell and then we can go again.

    RC is the only area in my life which I’m not at all organised with or on top of 😂

    Rental properties, DIY, car maintenance, 5 kids, tax returns, blah, blah, blah 😭, I can literally just about keep up with. 

    The truth is I’ve never really had the time for RC and now I don’t have liquidity I used to have either 😳

    But it is what it is and it is my own decisions that put me here, some being better than others 😉  

    Anyhow, as we currently have a spare bedroom, I put most of my RC kit in there out of the way and this way it’s then not spread out around the house being untidy weighing down on me.

    So yesterdays epiphany was why not start at the front of my sprawling RC mess and work my way towards the back,  one box at at time, get some stuff finished, run more, buy less, sell some surplus kit off, etc, etc.

    So this morning I emptied one box and it is now in the recycling - way to go 🎉

    I thought I might chart my progress to give me some inspiration and a push on to get some RC 💩 done 👊

    As a sequence, It looks like you took off a perfectly fine BMW door, took a sledge to it and then threw it in the skip. :D

    (which I do hope you didn't!)

    I noticed the photo order had loaded back to front and thought Mini Moke 😂
