mtbkym01 4008 Posted July 15, 2012 After a year and a half, just put a speedie and receiver in my Hotshot, along with a set of lightweight wheels and hybrid spikes. It now runs and will continue to sit on the shelf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bromvw 744 Posted July 15, 2012 I had my eye on that, but price went too high! Like your Blackfoot idea it had to be mine lol . Price was high because i refused to be out bid EDIT -Missed out on the Blackfoot i was bidding on but its no big deal . I'll buy a Blackfoot III bodyset when funds allow. I like the stepside more anyway . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted July 16, 2012 Dropped into the Australian distributor of Mugen Seiki on my way home from work to unpack and collect my new race kit (and a new pit mat) & although not the focus of this forum, it is my racing side of the hobby. These are a brand new release and this is literally the first one in Australia. One very happy chappy right here: Have to get this built ASAP for a big race meet I've got coming up, so all other projects are on hold, for now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Percymon 2184 Posted July 18, 2012 Last night i decided it was time to clear the RC work space of some parts that had sat there for far too long. RX into my Rough rider so it can be run again. Swapped out the nasty yellowed plastic Clod wheel rims for some nice shiny chrome ones. Put all the necessary electric ancillaries into the VLB box ready for my son to build. Tidied the wiring in the Avante 2001 build General tidy then so i have a clean desk for the Monster Beetle rebuild and complete the brushless rough rider. Looks too tidy now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmatt13 6 Posted July 18, 2012 - checked out the Schumacher Truck - solved electrical issues - progress with Bush Devil / Bear Hawk - waiting for Super Astute - got a looong ride with the street mod Fireblade For this evening will come, electrics for Bear Hawk and Bush Devil, checkup the Fireblade, maybe go on with Lotus Judd...

Percymon 2184 Posted July 19, 2012 Got the Monster Beetle box of cleaned components out of storage - now on the work desk Then had a mad ten minutes on eBay Losi Excelorin 10.5 brushless motor - for the Durga when its stripped and rebuilt ! Novak GT7 ESC - looked interesting for little money Tamiya Lightly tuned motor At least I'll be able to post in the 'what did the postman bring you..' thread again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IBIFTKH 1369 Posted July 19, 2012 Finished rebuilding my TLT, just a clean up, new bearings, stainless bolts etc. Ordered some bling for it too Hopefully get the electrics in today, then sort a body for it. What breaks on these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grastens 2795 Posted July 20, 2012 Installed the ESC, receiver and the driver of my Avante today: Paranoid Perry is not driving this one, surprisingly. The side 'consoles' were hand-painted with random details to resemble an electronics-packed cockpit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyosho1 86 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Succumbed to my desires. Now where shall I hide them from me wife . http://emobmg.photobucket.com/albums/v221/kyosho1/photo-26.jpg Edited July 21, 2012 by kyosho1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted July 21, 2012 Rebuilt the monster beetle, actually got my interest back in rc building up the chassis; let's hope sorting the body doesn't kill my new found enthusiasm. Installed the lightly tuned motor for now, the extra torque over a silver can should be plenty to push this little devil along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted July 22, 2012 This weekend I've been watching the big boy toys at the War & Peace show at Beltring. Great show this year, the low level flying display by the Spitfire was really something! Loads of armour and stalls, got some good references pics for my 1/6 Jeep project. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e323/crispy7480/WAP/9395f42b.mp4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucasan 28 Posted July 26, 2012 Finally got around to organizing most of my leftover screws and bits from other builds. Also managed to fit my spare motors, rx's and servos in there too. Turned out all right I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atf300 28 Posted July 27, 2012 ran the Blitzer Beetle first time at the track. it really needs weights on the front and a lexan shell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromvw 744 Posted July 27, 2012 Try some wheel weights on the fronts - makes a big differance . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
