Liking the blue paint. Kinda reminds me of the late 1990s Benetton F1 cars ð

I think Plasma Edge with bigger wheels and tyres, maybe the Landfreeder type body since I like a pickup. Thanks all ð -

Thanks for all the suggestions. I wonder if I can convince my good lady that she needs a Squash Van to go with whatever I can make out of a TT02 with monster wheels ð -

Clodbuster not as bad to carry as the broken HPI Bullet. That thing weighs a ton. Carrying any of them is a bit of a walk of shame though ðĪŠ -

It's a pretty grim beach to be honest. Sand, shingle, mud, maybe a few syringes? I like a bit of speed mostly plus clearance to deal with the rough terrain -

CC02 not for me. I have a Bronco, which I can't be bothered to take out. Seems a bit like a crawler that can't crawl too good. Like the look of the Squash though -

Extra batteries a good idea. Don't usually get as far as flat batteries though ð -

Not much laughing done at the time. I almost put it in the back of the car with the battery still connected too. That was when it started burning. All electronics replaced, everything washed, dried and lubricated. Lesson learned. All good now and probably still my favourite -

My clod is stock built as per the manual. Should probably have put bearings on but just built everything exactly as it said with box art. I know there's room for improvement with the drivetrain -

That's where I thought I might be headed with this -

Looking to get another build going. Just about done with the latest, an M08 Want to get something like maybe a TT02 of some kind. The desired capabilities as follows... 15 to 20 minute walk on mixture of tarmac, gravel and grass to a bit of beach to have a bit of a bash on. Fails so far are a Clodbuster (battery didn't last all the way to the beach - had to be carried) A Blackfoot (made it to the beach, all the way into the sea, caught fire - had to be carried) An HPI Bullet (hit a blade of grass and jammed a dogbone - had to be carried) Winners so far are my wife's Lunchbox and a nasty FTX Bugsta thing, also my wife's I fancy a TT02 mostly because there seems to be plenty of bits and pieces available and a massive choice of bodies. Any advice or suggestions welcome. Thanks
