Rambo John J 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Hi all, Due to women and work responsibilities I've been away for a while! Its good to be back, I've been pruising forums to see what you've all been upto! Good to see everyone enjoying the hobby! I have finally got round to throwing some paint on my new shell!

A few more mods on the truck, so here's the overall list: Johnny's Twin Det: Super E-Truck Esc. Ford F-350 shell. Adjustable upper arm's. Upgrade steering rod's. Beadlock wheel's. Axial Rock Lizard tyres. Steal Ball Bearings all round. 20 Tooth Pinions. Super Stock TZ Motors. Oil Filled Adjustable Integy Shocks. Alloy Knuckles each corner. Alloy C Hubs. Alloy Hex Fittings. 3700 Mah Battery. Alloy shock towers. High torque servo. Tyre paint. And 3 Kilo's of solder Think thats about it,Anyhow recent pics on my last post!

mymonsterbeetleisbroken 16 Posted June 9, 2009 Thats brilliant I remember the f-350 you've got your paint job idea from, that looked great too, but yours has the performance to match those racing colours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Ax 9313 Posted June 12, 2009 Keep an eye on your alloy knuckles - I used alloy knuckles on my Dagger and they bent within about 5 minutes of use. They're just TL01 parts and most manufacturers didn't bother making them strong enough to withstand the punishment they'll take from big wheels. If you've got some from a proper company who makes proper parts then please post the brand so I know where to go for better ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambo John J 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Think the knuckles were GMP, is that what yours were? Mine are fine at the mo' but ive still got to give her a good thrashing! It might be worth havin a look at junfac.com, there parts are prety sturdy, not sure if they do knuckles for td though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambo John J 0 Posted June 27, 2009 Just fitted a Hetronix Mx12k Servo High torque, metal gear, fast action, also had to fit the opposing servo horn, i new i kept it for some reason!

Pavster 0 Posted July 27, 2009 Alright guys? Hope everyone is well! Long time no speak. Need a question answered. I drove my TD in the snow a while ago then put it near the radiator to dry off. It must be about 4months later and when I came ot play with it again I noticed loads of the screws and the dog bones had rust on them! Has this happened to anyone else before and if so what did you do to combat it and prevent it in the future? Any help please, Pav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavster 0 Posted July 27, 2009 and no silly answers like I didn't drive it in the snow again...cos that aint gonna happen. I have never had so much fun with the TD!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambo John J 0 Posted July 28, 2009 I know, rust staines on the body shell suck! Your gonna have to upgrade my friend! The good news is it aint gonna cost a fortune! What u need: Bag of m3 screws, stainless or galvanised, : alloy dog bones, This can probably be done for around £12 Good luck, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
