Did a quick check in the blazing star, And they do have the 'normal' function of forward stick = forward and reverse stick= brake, reverse stick again is reverse. However, the brake function is quite weak. The hobbywing 1060 and 1040 ESCs I also use are much better at braking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggular 4964 Posted February 16, 2019 I found a differential grease that's ultra sticky. AW grease is next to it for size comparison (1 gram vs 20g). It feels 2-3 times stickier than AW. It feels almost firm as vaseline, but whole lot stickier. It smells a bit like a plastic bag, whereas AW doesn't smell anything. AW grease wipes away quickly with alcohol, this takes 2-3 swipes to go away. Since it says "diff oil" I would assume it's plastic safe. I haven't tried it in a diff, but I think this Ultra thing from 3Racing might be usable (in small amounts) in open diffs like the FAV, Fox, Grasshopper, Blackfoot, etc. How do I know this is 2-3 times stickier than AW grease? I did a sticky finger grab test. AW grease dropped the scissors in about 0.3 seconds. 3Racing Ultra Hig Viscosity Gear Diff Oil held them up for about 1 second. And it left a mold of my fingerprint on the scissors. I didn't take a photo of that (just in case people use fingerprints like credit cards in the future--you never know!). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yogi-bear 2321 Posted February 16, 2019 any box that arrives with a blue star on it has to be good and to end the week, I was able to get a frog. but neither will be built for awhile, too many things to do first plus I am collecting more 1/24 ish models. this one, I'd built one as a kid, so would like to have another go one day 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_ve 1043 Posted February 17, 2019 My father brougt the used Clodbuster I bought! I think it is one of the first series. The silvercans have white plasic endcaps. These days they are metal I believe. Looks very complete and in good order. Only the tires have flat spots. Can that be solved somehow? (Inserts offcourse, but the tires are glued on the rims). But I still also have a full new set of tires/rims so no problem. To-do list would be teardown and clean-up, bearings, steel pinions, full electronics and a respray in metallic red. Keep steering standard for now, maybe an extended servo arm to improve steering rate. But this will be on the shelf for some time, no rush as it is nice weather outside today and I really need to do some work on the house again, been putting too much time in the cars so time to shift priorities. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice project, I am waiting for my bullhead to arrive, and that car have to wait some months before I buildt it, I got some other cars to build and no more budget for it. The thing a want to change are the steering, bearings, shocks, some parst to make it stronger and double brushless motors and for the rest stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats, pal. You got the REAL THING there! Excellent specimen, and by the looks I think it is in good condition. Body is very nice, original, and properly done. You won't have problems finding the replacement light bar from the new version. I'm really surprised to see the extra "spacer" the previous owner got in there to use larger battery packs. I don't know how much you paid for it, but I believe it is a great purchase 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3750 Posted February 18, 2019 Waiting on some items to be delivered by DHL Parcel / Ukmail - I dont hold out much hope considering they have been a complete and utter failure 100% of the times I have had the mispleasure of having stuff sent to me and they have been the courier. Sadly you dont often get the choice when items are being shipped from Germany. Fingers crossed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blista 1519 Posted February 18, 2019 Received a Yeah Racing CC01 steering set today. It's only been a year since I started buying CC01 bits. Don't want to hurry things just in case Tamiya come to their senses and announce a CC02. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graemevw 823 Posted February 18, 2019 Found a cheap grasshopper, wanted one soooo bad when i was a kid. Surprisingly never owned one even though i bought a rere hornet when they came out. Couldnt turn it down at the price. Edit... Had the customary 'get it all out, thumb the manual then put it all back' look and now need to decide... Do i build it? Do i stick it under the bed and forget about it? If i build it, do i do what i would have when i was 12 and build it box stock? Or do i put one of many spare 540s, or a torque tuned in it and some cva on the back. Hmmmm, white or yellow? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
