Latest Addition For Iconic Racing. Fox On The Run.

Hey, I get to post in another section! 😁👍

Here's my latest acquisition, original chassis with new body, wheels and tyres. 😍

That looks great, I really like my (sons) Novafox, really quick with just a silvercan and they look so cool

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.

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?

What do you use when your Fox rear suspension arms fall apart?

I've found a few good photos, so I'll have a go at making one.

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.

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!

 

Ally pieces are the same same width as the slot. 👍 Tap the hole in the bottom arm and the job's a good'un. Waiting on some 1.5mm stainless rod now.

Sorted the sway bar linkage with a few bits I had in the “cominandy” tin.
