Tamiya1/10 382 Posted October 29, 2013 I picked up a 2nd hand one recently and am lovin the insane speeds. Not really a crawler by any traditional sense, the two speeds are more like fast and sonic boom! You now have quad hammer. Kidding aside, any changes you've made or considering?

mr crispy 2293 Posted October 29, 2013 Oh yes, you know me I can't leave anything alone I will do a build thread for it but so far I've dissolved the bonnet (not by choice) so that's being replaced in plasticard. I didn't like the driver figure and mine came with a resin copy of the bruiser head anyway, which looks the same as the Sand a Scorcher/Monster Beetle head but is obviously a bigger scale so looked very wrong! I've got a FAV head sprue ordered to replace it with and will add a bit more cockpit detail. What was suppose to be an upgraded gear change servo has already died on me just after I finished setting up the 3rd channel, so it's currently a manual lever to change between fast and ******* me that's fast. What else... Oh yeah I've cut out the rear of the battery tray to fit my larger 5000mah 2s lipo and changed the spare wheel & mount. It also came with Axial Ripsaw tyres and I'll be adding some much needed weight to the wheels. Not had a chance to have a proper drive yet but I assume I'll be putting a slower motor in there at some point. The original is fun and has an in built fan, but it's not what I usually go for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should be able to unleash the beast as all the stuff are weathered proofed. I hear the locking front diff should be a must.... my is still unopened...not even a peek yet:-( I am thinking of getting the lock piece, F/R sway bars and the sheet metal body mentioned by twinset. BTW... it does come with a manual? oh yea the driver head is good too.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
