Hi there everybody, I am a returning tamiya boy from years gone by and i bought a fire dragon 2020 for myself at xmas. I have upgrades a few bits alloy parts and dampers but feel i want more speed now. Things have changed much since i was a kid and am leaning towards going brushless. If anyone can help me i was looking at Hobbywing EZRUN Combo MAX10 3652SL 4000KV Brushless Motor. Is it best to go lipo with this and do i need to change gears at all. And what best conectors to go for. Is a new learning curve and be grateful for any advice Many thanks

Hi I have a few bodies I have replaced for new TBG ones. If they are of any interest let me know please. packing and post is worth about £5 so make me an offer if they are of any use to you. All are original vintage. FireDragon, small tear just above front suspension into the front canopy, also rear cut outs for shock mounts are rough as are the rear body mount posts. Madcap, in black for main body with a silver black metal fleck wing (some of paint on wing is starting to flake off) Boomerang in a sort of orange/light red, rear wing is bent. some of decals starting to peel. Boomerang main body- no wing, or protective film Thundershot - odd colours badly done and no decals. Body is reasonable with only a tiny split starting in back corner, not yet bad enough to really notice. If any of them is of any use to you drop me a PM. Thanks, Andrew

OK, after getting the family all up and running with WT-01's and Madbulls its time to start the hard work, restoring my old Thundershot. This is it as it was lifted out of its box after over 25 years. SAD, covered in stuck on sawdust, with bits missing, 2 flatspotted tires and some of em starting to crack. Edit:- Have now started work on a Terra Scorcher I picked up, looked ok but knew there was something not right with drive train as it was tooo tight and the chassis also had a split at the front gearbox top mounting hole on the Prop shaft side.
