True that, plus spares support has been excellent for the XLS and Topcat. I'm in the UK so not sure how good elsewhere.
-
Agree with all of the above! The XLS was the MOST challanging build but also the most rewarding. I ended up with a pro transmission and the alloy bulk heads but even in its standard form it runs brilliantly. Still think the "crash back" feature of the front suspension is genius. The Top Cat is much easier to build, however the funky front suspension is actually a bit rubbish even with the upgrade turnbuckles. The turnbuckles allow the damper to also control the down stroke instead of just gravity with the original set up. It does however look cool as... I'm actually thinking of getting the front suspension parts from the Couger to convert the Top Cat.

Yup same here! Big bonkers that the front and rear stabilisers are Β£26! For two bits of wire and plastic supports. Gonna run mine ragged but it'll be a proper whince come part replacement time..
-
Werhoo!!! It's here! Yessss!....
-
Gonna be a glut of pics me thinks!
-
I shall do my best!
-
Just had confirmation mine will be delivered tomorrow! Werhoo, can't wait π.. Feels like being 12 again!
-
We have since 1987, reckon we can get through another month or two! Gotta be strong.. π
-
Yup, had my confirmation as such. Still happy to wait however!
-
Aaaargh!! I've got wait till the 29th April to get mine! That's looks superb. What electrics are everyone doing? Brushless? I was going for a Skyrc TS50 or HW106bl with a 13.5 "Blue Bottle". Or maybe brushed for an old school feel? Quality looks really good have to say.

From the ever excellent @Fusion-Hobbies. Can't wait to have some spare time to start this!
-
Me. I run all of them, might only be in fields or the garden but that's what they're for... Except my Avante. Couldn't cope if I broke it! I had a Mid when it first came out so can't wait to be taken back 25 years or so.

Tried those on my DT-03. They simply don't work, no where near snug enough in the wheels and to narrow on the axle. Wheels wobble excessively laterally, almost comically. I was trying to fit a set of 4wd fronts on from a TT-02B.

Modelsport.co.uk for mine.

Can't wait. Ordered. Now hurry up April!!

LeeΒ΄s build thread. Sussex Police Rover SD1 on a ta03R Chassis
Grotty Otty replied to Lee1075's topic in The Builds
Think this is inspired, great work. Is there a sound box of some sort to have a siren? Might as well go all in! -
Wow! Where from, and would it fit a Super Hotshot?
-
I'd be thrilled if I had a body shell come out like that! Epic, especially the masking to get that result. π
-
Certainly is. Good effort π
-
This, in fine layers. It'll fade away to the point you can't see it. Had this on my Terra Scorcher, soon vanished. Just make sure the can is super warm and fully shaken before you spray.
-
On the CR-01 There is a large grub screw in the plastic casing you remove to access the diffs. Spin the wheels so that they line up with the hole and internal grub screw that locks the diff. You should then be able to pop in a hex or Allen key and undo the diff grub screw. No need to fully disassemble.
-
Longer lower and upper carbon chassis plates, longer upper and lower belt covers and a longer belt if I remember correctly.
-
Was thinking the same. Going to pre order this and hope they do a LWB Custom as well. Had an original that I bought the LWB carbon conversion kit for back in the day. Would definitely like both!
-
Werhoo! Finally! Yay!...

Grotty Otty replied to Mechanic AH's topic in General discussions
Everyone getting their TD4's is not helping my "WANT!". Seriously thinking of changing my Wild One order to one... Oh, and I know the correct answer is to get both. Obviously.. π- 1060 replies
