Pumpkin

[schonbacher]

just ordered myself a metalic pumpkin got it from modesport as they seem pretty good goin on past exsperience , made up the order with a servo and new pullstart for one of my other cars and got free delivery by going a few pence over the £100 so really the servo is free cant wait to get it now , gonna order some bearings before i build. just happens to be bank holiday weekend tho so might not arrive till next week

Wise choice, the pumkin is a fun truck, take a look at doing the 3rd shock mod, makes all the difference. also you could look at replacing those pogo stick shocks with some nice oil cva ones at later date.

like mark said look at the 5th shock mod. i have a lunchbox and a metalic pumpkin. i have found that hpi rush evo shocks fit on them if you put half inch internal limiters in them. hope it arives soon for you

[schonbacher]

yeah my mate has a lunchbox he has done a mod but not using a shock , i will have a look at it and decide if i do it his way or with a shock

arrived today

bearing are here aswell so can make a start in the next day or 2 i love getting a new tamiya kit its almost a shame to start building it seeing it in its box!

When you opened the box,

Did you inhale the contents and feel the tyres?

Best one i had was the re re brat! the LHS bloke had a choking fit when he opened the the box!

not me tho! i loved every minute!

Worse one i have ever smelled was my mates thunder tiger Phoenix ST. It smelled like someone had taken a dump in the box!

It was horrid!

in the box lol, they wouldnt do up tight for some reason i just aint got around to lookin at em or finding some decent screws

[bigoggy]

you dont want them tight. when you roll it, you want them to be able to move instead of breaking off.
