Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for them

This is my first time with a Top Force, which bits from the J-Parts are common for breaking?

You need the gear set. Built mine a couple of weekends ago and it had the horrible aluminium bits in.

Now I can get rid of the horrible aluminium bits from the gearbox!

Managed to grab some family time: it's always more fun when everyone has one

Looking forward to seeing yours finished. I think I'll be ordering the plastic gear set. I was considering a hot motor for mine, but after seeing the performance with the kit silver can I think something more mild will be more than enough: maybe around 19/20 ish turns. What motor are you using? I'll need a decent pinion too, I'm just using the kit one at the moment, but I know from bitter experience I'd be better off using one made from cream cheese!

After more than a year of inactivity I decided I really didn't want to miss out on this so made my way down to my LHS and picked one up. Fancied trying something other than green so went with Tamiya PS10 purple (although it's more blue than purple to my eye). I think it works quite well. I could have done a better job with the stickers, but it's a runner so I'm not too concerned

Nope, sorry, doesn't help at all

@matman Track looks fantastic. I really wish I had the space to do something like that.

Really looking forward to the build. Been wanting a Hotshot for ages

Popped in to my LHS for a 'quick look' Looks like my Manta Ray rebuild is going to be put on hold for a while longer................

GRRR! Now you've made me want a Tomahawk! Knew it was a mistake signing up here, I can't afford this hobby

Looks great. Loving the colours you've used. Trying to convince my Wife to let me get one, purple is her favorite colour so I might show her this in the hope it might swing things in my favour

I've been looking at some of your builds/restorations, looking forward to seeing your progress. I'll have to get pictures and update everyone with how mine goes

Thanks, I'll give that a try. My first attempt with cheap washing up liquid didn't go so well. Wife's away this afternoon, not back till tomorrow night, I might get away with using the dishwasher haha.
