Jonathon Gillham 4607 Posted February 22, 2018 My IR temp gun arrived today, which is the new toy I wanted the most from my recent order and last to arrive, but I have nothing to do with it until March 17th which is the next race meet.

Man1c M0nk3y 564 Posted February 22, 2018 Loads of bits and bobs. Nothing exciting mind just bolts, washers/spacers, flange nuts, lock nuts etc For de-slopping the DT03 and for swapping out bits on the Top Force with blingier ones ☺️ Might not use much of it but I’ll have them should the need arise.

I’m pretty sure these are RC Channel shocks. Nice quality, but mine still leaked after a couple of runs and you have to remove the rear torsion bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they leak they still have to be better than the standard sticks! 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

svenb 3778 Posted February 22, 2018 Last bits needed for my next build. E-parts for a TB Evolution thanks to Tony's Tamiya parts 👍. Bought the kit a couple of months ago but it was less complete than listed!. But at least it had its carbon chassis parts and screw bags and wasn't to expensive🙂. Missing a few other bits but I'm swapping for hop ups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rb4276 803 Posted February 23, 2018 Got springs for my re re optima to try to help the traction roll i have causing flips at times on the street. Also got titanium steering rods and waiting on the smaller ones from another shop. . I also went against my better judgement and bought jazzrider aluminum servo mount for it. I figured for $7 it is worth giving them a shot again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks in great shape, I thought mine would be a simple cleanup, but it still is ipundone due to my OCD. How are the fender attachments to the bumper on yours? Sadly one of mine is broke, but that is simple proof it was driven around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason1145 3986 Posted February 23, 2018 A pretty hard to find Corsair M Killer bodyshell in 210m wheelbase... still with the protective film on the outside and a spoiler and spare wheel to mount if I want. It's a very transluscent green so I will back it with a chrome to see if it gives more depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think the M04 will get to try it out as I hear it’s a pig to drive straight on power... and I’ve stored away my other 2 RWD cars with no easy access to them now (DT02’s). Whats the thinking... these gyros are likely to get best results from a RWD right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine raced best with 28r on the front and 22r rear. I tried a gyro but it made no difference 😐 but my gyro was a cheapie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maelstrom 439 Posted February 23, 2018 A nice little haul for a nice small price including a FF01 in very nice shape with a pretty battered Golf body, a futaba attack remote and best of all a Wild Willy 2 Took the Wild Willy apart this evening. I'll go for a new body as this one is pretty damaged, the rest will be in good enough shape for a runner after a good cleanup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
