Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted August 30, 2017 That looks great, I really like my (sons) Novafox, really quick with just a silvercan and they look so cool 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Granddad Stinky 975 Posted August 30, 2017 If anyone would like to pitch in with some essential do's and don't's for this, I'd be grateful. I'll be stripped, inspected and rear-built straight away so I can race it. It looks like someone had adapted the switch hole, but nothing's broken. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted August 30, 2017 The main thing I've found is to keep the controller out of the hands of a 4yo! No idea about mods though, I find they understeer in the backyard but am yet to take it to the track. Thats on the list. Whats the plan for yours? Is Iconic a vintage series?

Granddad Stinky 975 Posted September 8, 2017 What do you use when your Fox rear suspension arms fall apart? ππ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granddad Stinky 975 Posted September 19, 2017 Catch up time. Most off my Fox is in pretty good condition, just a few bits to replace. Unfortunately, I removed the rear arm and the fell to pieces. Here's hoping a bit of GRP will do the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Granddad Stinky 975 Posted September 19, 2017 One of the hub carriers had a stripped thread, I managed to find a replacement pair but that gave me an idea. Sway bar anchor points! Β Ally pieces are the same same width as the slot. π Tap the hole in the bottom arm and the job's a good'un. Waiting on some 1.5mm stainless rod now.

Granddad Stinky 975 Posted September 27, 2017 Sorted the sway bar linkage with a few bits I had in the βcominandyβ tin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
