So to add to this I just found a 13.5t generic blue can and a new Trackstar 10.5T as well. Also found a 3.5T, not sure about that one...

Ok so the build it stock went out the window the second I looked in the cupboard for some bearings and found two motors looking for homes. So for the Comical Grasshopper we have a choice of Silvercan on TBLE-02, Kawada 17.5T on TBLE-02 or Trackstar 4000kV on a Trackstar ESC. Also do I go 18 or 20 on the pinion. Please do not ask the obvious question about what I am going to use it for because if I was capable of answering that I probably would one have one car and a larger bank balance.

I am using Myhermes. They collect from the house for 60p extra. I know they don’t have the best reputation but I have always found them to be ok Andi

I am not 100% but I think the lox voltage protection is built in the the batteries not the tools so you should be ok with that.

A light going over with a hairdryer can help them stick, or restick if they are lifting

I thought I was going overboard at about £300

100% of the money from this sale is going to Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes Service https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264705306830

I have one on order. Bearing have arrived. The only other thing I am looking at it the high torque servo saver and arm. The alloy arm is horrendously expensive for what it is. Any hop-up suggestions from there’s who have built this chassis in another guise?

Yep it has sat around and had many a good idea thrown at it. The lack of availability of a new grill eventually took me down the path of “fixing” the original. Let’s hope Sammo drive the snot off it as well. He will have to find a better way to mount the body though.

If I had half your skill I would have a house full of these things. Luckily for my wife I only have about 2% Great to see another one of your builds

I thought these we’re almost indestructible. Last week people talking about snapping dog bones and now you killing a diff. I am definitely not trying hard enough. You buying new halves or a full gearbox?

SOLD pending payment

Added some TRX rock sliders to my Blackfoot before it goes off to a new home. Strangely they are the perfect length.

The shell for this came very well loved and I ran it as a beach toy for a bit. I sold the chassis on and kept the body as a project. It is held together with a lot of hot glue and the image was supposed to be of a budget mud racer. (Look up mud bogging on YouTube). It is secured with invisible mounts because I always wanted to try them, the shell would fly off if run very hard. The sun does make the paint look better than it is. I have tried to show this on the white door, it was the effect I was going for but the sun hides it a bit. The chassis was built of spare parts. The gearbox was off my Daughter’s lightly run WR-02 and is ballraced. The chassis parts and bumpers are new. Wheels are off a Maverick Scout and it is now running the standard pogo sticks. All money paid for this will go to Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes Service. They do a fantastic job for free and their fundraising opportunities have dried up with the current situation. I will cover the cost of postage within the UK (as long as it is basic service, NI and tip of Scotland might require a couple more quid) £50 sound a fair price to me but feel free to drop me an offer if that seems high.

Hello What hosting site are you using for photos?

Guessing they are the smaller type but I will send a pair of each. Pm me your address

Does it have separate endpoint adjustments? I have found on some of mine you can turn the range down so it is nice and slow but then you get no brakes.

Crikey this thread is a blast from the past. They all share the same basic chassis but the Wild Dagger and Twin Detonator run two gearboxes.

You will then need to build a new car for yourself at full speed 😂

80t was about right for 6-8 and the 50t was ok for 8+. My son is 10 now and is just about getting it with a silvercan in a confined space. I have a 50T spare if you want it. Just cover the postage. Drop me a pm

A silvercan is still to fast for kids in a confined space. They need to be able to just keep it wide open and just steer to start with.

I am not a great driver and the space and time needed to drive is not always available. Plus charging batteries in advance is a pain. Building and modifying is the fun for me

A 50t or 80t motor works best. I have run both for my kids in a few different cars. A brushed motor is cheap and the kids can just keep it wide open all the time and worry about the steering

I would almost pay to build other people’s cars. They can cut and paint their own bl**dy bodies though.

Ahhh US, sorry in the UK. Keep forgetting we have a lot of brothers across the pond.
