I am semi tempted to dive on this as I don’t seem to get round to building my bush devil or fixing my stadium thunder which I have goosed the electrics on.....

Hi there - was a bit enthusiastic with the Hornet and snapped the grey servo saver - they seem to be on back order but are on a tree with others - the Hornet is the one with the bend in.
I am either making sense or talking Greek. They are available but seem to be on back order so wondered if anyone had a spare they would be happy to sell?
Cheers

Ran the hornet at the local skate park. I need more practice as this was more spectacular than expected! Still in one piece though. Taking the basher next time!!

Took the basher to the beach as lockdown eased a little north of the border. Ran brilliantly. I need some new tyres though as slicks are poor on sand. I need some advice on sand running I think I should probably replace the esc with a waterproof one but any tips on motor and receiver. I’ll take it again tomorrow then strip and clean. Can also figure out how many parts I am short from making a second one from parts!

Took the Hornet for my evening exercise. Excuse poor pics. Need to rebuild the shocks as full of muck and not working well. A good clean in order.

I discovered that the shell is the same as my Freelander.
I did think that - torn to keep the devil decals or make more “standard”

Courtesy of @Nobbi1977 many thanks. Daughters more excited than me but plotting an orange colour scheme!

I bought another part for my Super Champ.
The stock take of cars and parts and has helped me understand what I have, what I need and what realistically I have time for.
Still more to sell but I have broken the back of it now and I will move the rest along progressively over the next few weeks.
10 cars is definitely my limit, anymore than that is too time consuming and I feel that I have too much cash tied up in them.
Watching with interest what comes up :-)

Guys - can’t thank you enough for detailed responses! I’m not sure it makes it any easier but certainly plenty to consider!! In all honesty I dont really have any requirements more the desire for a build and play!! Love the NSU but feels the chassis may let it down. I am leaning to looking for a TT02D or certainly a TT02 and some hop ups - kicking myself for not picking up the chassis only that was for sale on here a couple of weeks ago. Will do some more reading and looking at offers - which is half the fun anyway!

I am still fairly new to this hobby but shelf is growing fast! I did my first build a couple of weeks ago, Hornet and picked up a Stadium Thunder/Blitzer hybrid reasonably on eBay which is fun and have another new build off roader on the way. I think i have my off road boxes covered although do fancy a Konghead and maybe a lunchbox.
So near home there are a few nicely tarmac’d car parks and I fancy a road car. I like the idea of a Scooby or Lancia Delta - and seen a good deal on the NSU. I know there are sport and drift versions and TT02 seems to be the chassis i will need with lots of choice for shells. Being new will I notice any difference, should i go with something i like the look of, or anything i should look out for? i dont really have any specific requirements just planning the next step!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice - and if there is a thread already apologies but couldn’t see one!

Finished the build last week but finally painted the Hornet shell and stickered up - man i need more practice at that but really pleased with how the colour turned out (black was on back order and I saw a couple blue ones I liked). Time for a drive tomorrow!

My impulsive eBay purchase of last weekend arrived. Stadium thunder although I’m not sure what the difference is with stadium Blitzer. Not really sure what I’ve got and has spares. Plan was to clean and tidy up and use with kids and not worry about bashing it. I’ll make sure it works and then take it apart and clean and grease etc. Still looking at a couple of others too I could be going from zero to full shelf in a couple of weeks at this rate!
Tried this out and works great - tomorrow will be cleaning and tidying!

Did this get sold via PM or still available?

Taken the advice and waiting for proper paint this week. Build finished today and run without paint and love it - as does daughter number 1. If a fit of fat fingering I have bought a lot of ebay with a stadium thunder - ironic as I wanted something to build so will maybe strip and rebuild or buy yet another! It’s started!!
-
Well I finished the Hornet build and did some test runs. Fantastic. Paint should come Tuesday so can finish. Was looking on eBay at the runner hornet a member on here had for sale and the for some reason bought a stadium thunder bundle with no research. As I enjoyed they build part this has surprised me but I can fettle any bits it needs and good for kids to thrash. I do fancy another to build from scratch though. Pants this is going to get expensive quickly!!

I’ll cave and take it! Can you PM bank details. And will get the cash over to you?
