Are the TL-01 ones the same? I have a few NIP if you need

If it gets a little more than the boxed kit was worth then it will be worth it.

Finished today, eBay tomorrow

Final part today The sticker are metallic and pre cut. I hate doing the decal part of any build, that might be why this is the first box art I have built 😂 First mistake and reminder to RTF. I put them on in the wrong order so one will not fit now Not bad, might hit it with the hairdryer later Body screwed down and waiting for the grass to dry before I give it a gentle test drive.

No happy to share far and wide when I get it listed. Think I will aim to get it on for Sunday night. Always good to finish late on a weekend.

It was not on any list for me but someone posted that they had got a good deal and suddenly there are two in the post!

Finished the Rising Fighter. Just need a test run to do but it is raining. I hate decals but at least they were pre-cut

Tamiya to banana is easy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282995178642 Or a plug adapter https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273163867650

On a side note I found the fan hop up for the TBLE02 helps with the thermal issues

Turnigy normally come with XT60 plugs. I am guessing the charger has deans. Something like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352977077454 might be what you are after? Does the battery fit the ESC?

Day 2 Everything out again A bit of thread lock on the drive splines Digging in the box for some electronics. I guess it will sell for more as a RTR ESC is a eBay special I do not remember ordering. It might have been a “I wonder if these work” moment. Servo is a Hobbyking basic one. Tx and Rex are not new, they came out of a Maverick Scout that did not get a lot of use. RTR Stickers next time

I love that look

Best Buy a new kit then to use the .6 pinion on 😂

Any 12mm hex will fit as long as they clear the arms and hubs. Most should be ok. I would not worry about the pinion change. Acceleration will be less with big wheels which might be better for a child. Run it an see how hot the motor gets.

.8 on the DT -02 and 03. I always used the Tamiya hop up ones because they used to be cheap

I blame you lot for this..

Finished the Rising Fighter charity build. Not everyone’s dream car I know but not a bad build. Lots of different size screws to keep you on your toes. Stickers tomorrow. https://i.imgur.com/Pbm2DUT.jpg

I have big wheels on mine. About half way down the page. Think I used CR01 beadlocks with WT01 tyres.

I will have a pair. Not sure how to post them at the moment though

I see, they are twisting. I guess big wheels and a semi locked diff will do that.

If you are going to run it then bearings are a must. You don’t want to have to strip it all again after a month and then fit them

Not a huge work space and I need to finish at the end of each session and clean up Sort of halfway between a Grashopper and a DT-01 I said I would follow the instructions to the letter but I cannot not use thread lock on metal parts Front arms. I am using the lightest touch of ceramic grease. Front end done I had to grit my teeth and fit the “shocks”. I almost went hunting for a set of CVAs... Gearbox time I have some “spare” bearings in stock. Touch of grease. Only in a couple of spots, it will spread when run OK I put a little putty in the diff... just enough to help drive Another grit my teeth moment. I do not have a steel pinion this size.. All done for session 1

I am a sucker for buy cheap, buy twice. The Wraith needs strength not precision so I might give one of these a try. I will do a vid of what we are driving over and if we do not kill it we will have a winner. If we do kill it then hopefully all this Covid stuff will be over and I will not have time to drive anyway 😂

My RTR one was a pile of junk. Body was not bad

Started my Rising Fighter charity build. Stock build with bearings. Will find some radio gear and then stick it on eBay for Blood Bikes. With the current situation they have no opportunity to fund raise and they do a great job. Build thread pending admin approval.
