  1. Hi, In the past I ran for 2 consecutive years my Super Champ Re-re in a 540 friendly vintage class (was good fun). 2 times in a row, the front wheel-axles (which are press-fit) came off. If you use Re-re wheel-axles, I'd suggest to reinforce the press-fit assembly with an extra M3 screw, like on the picture below I made this mod with a lathe (was quite easy with such a tool), but with some skills, good drill & tap, it should be doable without too much trouble.
  2. Looks very nice! Reminds me of my Blackfoot, nicknamed "SubaFord BratFoot" , but your attention to details is on another level!
  3. Not exactly an answer to your question, but I recently built a Super Sabre Re-re, then saw that the gears were molded on "sprues". First assembled everything with no particular attention and realized I had a "hard spot" when turning the gearbox. Had to dismantle and de-burr correctly the bevel gears, for them to work perfectly fine. Just to say that if the gears are on a sprue too, you may have to fine-tune them
  4. Just realized I forgot to add a picture of the whole thing Also wondering if I should change those suspension links. Or paint 'em?
  5. Hi! An additional picture, just to show how the rear "no name" wheels above could fit a GrassHopper, a Frog, any SRBs... *** EDIT: no name rims gone. Picture still here, because it's cool to have pictures in a thread, no? ***
  6. Splendid in that green I've got a front bumper for you... I'll stick it in the tires parcel
  7. Hey! I have a DT-02 at home, so I could measure it maybe? How much precision would you like? Not sure I'm able to get something like 27.3 for example...
  8. Hi! Okay, cool! And yes, Frog wheels, or maybe Hornet. Just to be sure: tires are NOT in good condition! They're dry. Not to the point where you could tear them apart by hand, but it's not going to get any better... Where do you live, please? So I can check the price of postage Read you.
  9. Marui front tires for a Golden Eagle, someone? With black plain plastic bushings (!?). 15€ for the pair. Light use I'd say, some scratches on the rims, but rubber with no cracks, light wear.
  10. Hello, I'm an absolute fanboy of the SRBs (especially the Fighting Buggy), but for me the ORV handles better (out of the box). Mainly because it's lightweight. And thanks to the turning radius, which is also really better (out of the box). Another topic if you speak about realism
  11. Low prices: - RC4WD "Yota 2" axles. Unused, only assembled/disassembled a few times for tinkering that never ended with something. 20€ for both? Shipping at cost. - Used RC4WD Gear reduction unit 4 turns to 1 unit for 540 type motor. Including a pinion, compatible with Bruiser's gearbox spur. 3€ ? Shipping at cost. - Wild One Original rear rims, very good shape I'd say, only the white is a bit ivory/yellow... Plastic seems strong, not wanting to crack. 5€ for the pair? Thanks for reading!
  12. Hello! Help needed! Some old (junk) RC things for the cost of shipping: *** EDIT: some things gone - pictures removed *** - Old Tamiya wheels. Tires cracked, rims ok but with strange colors. Maybe interesting for the original hardware? (Gone) - 3 M-chassis wheels (?) Extremely bad shape for rims & tires, cracked, uneven wear. Thought maybe someone with a scale garage would like to decorate with some naturally weathered items? - No name vintage rims (Gone): Right front one on the picture is dead I think. The external recess for the external bushing/bearing is destroyed. Rear ones with tires have the SRB/ORV mounting 5 things system, but I'm not sure Tamiya did use something this diameter/tire-type on any SRB/ORV buggy. Tire lettering looks like it's been done from the factory. But bad shape overall, cracked/unusable tires. *** EDIT: some things gone - pictures removed ***
  13. Thanks for them, Nick! Your Lil' Elsie is so cute, with her two-tone eyes!
  14. Certainly my Super Blackfoot back in the days. Not Mileage. Light-Yearage would be appropriate. Body finished as a true wreck, but the chassis proved itself unbreakable!
  15. Kept on tinkering with tires and the old Lewis Galoob toy
