Slyda 183 Posted June 30, 2018 IT'S ALIVE! The Wild One is finally alive. Almost complete, with just the driver figure/interior to paint but finished enough to show now. Built basicly box stock with the addition of a ball bearing set, gold Fox rims and a MCI Racing sticker set. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuijo 880 Posted June 30, 2018 Looks great! You've got Novafox wheels on your Wild One, I've got Wild One wheels on my Novafox. Maybe we should have just swapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that. It's spray painted with Dulux Dura Max paint, not sure how long it will last though. I used an etch primer and white primer of the same brand, thinking the etch was not needed and the cause of some minor chipping. If I need to redo it so be it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slyda 183 Posted July 1, 2018 Took it out for it's first propper run today at an indoor meeting. It ran faultlessly despite having only done three laps of the living room previously. The only problem I encounted was the left front tyre got peeled off the rim a couple of times after having others crash into it. Needs to have a propper wheel alignment as I set it up using only the eyeometer and it was pulling to the left just a tad. The driver was more than a little rusty as I have not been on a controler in over 20 years but I was not as bad as I thought I would be. I was slow but still lots of grins to be had and you don't need to be fast to have a barrel load of fun. Lots to re-learn but it's a good excuse to get out and use it, looking forward to getting it dirty at the next outdoor meeting though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
