You can actually upload pics direct to the site by clicking on the choose files link at the bottom of the page! I've only just discovered that myself! Yes you can. Be your limited to how much you can upload. I think its only around 50MB. And ive used most of that already in other threads. Ive only got 1.88MB left unless i delete some pictures from other threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Greg, thank you for the welcome and the comments on the build so far! Some of the pics looked squashed due to re sizing them for file size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scouser 83 Posted August 12, 2017 Looks fantastic. The painting is where I usually lose patience and rush to get out and run it. Yours goes to show what happens when you take your time. Nice job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At a guess the shell took me between 2-3 hours, slowly building the layers up and drying with a hair dryer. I am really pleased with the outcome still need to tweak and get my decals on though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9113 Posted August 28, 2017 Very smart! Given your body colour choice, I think those look much better than the standard yellow ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tyres also come with foam inserts, item number - 282598387234 Cheers Owain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfdogstinkus 1876 Posted September 18, 2017 Do they fit on the mad bull / wr02 wheels ok?. Thought they had smaller rims? I was going to get stadium blitzer wheels as they are the full 2.2 size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OwainP 38 Posted December 16, 2017 An update finally!! Since the previous photos I have changed the tyres back to standard due to the fronts rubbing/catching the bumper and I have also changed the pojo stick shocks to some alloy fastrax! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baddon 860 Posted December 16, 2017 looks very smart now with the white rims and stickers. What shocks did you put on it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9113 Posted December 17, 2017 Good choice with the tyres - low and wide suits the Mad Bull look, and the gearing is pretty tall already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
