Busdriver 6207 Posted April 9, 2020 I got back into this hobby with a CC01 Defender. I kept asking questions about various models to move onto. On many of the occasions the answer was the Agroshot/Aqroshot and I ignored them going for Blitzer, MadBull, Wild One etc etc. A liitle while back Jadlam were doing a special offer on the dancing rider which I ordered along with a load of hopups from around the world (some of which I am still waiting for), but just before I pulled the trigger I spotted an Ag/qroshot and added it to the pile. Well the time has come to do it. The only thing I am certain about is that it will be Metallic Orange. First picture a fairly easy body to cut out. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problemchild 2149 Posted April 10, 2020 I keep looking at the aqroshot - i really like the look JJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7777 Posted April 10, 2020 Looking forward to seeing this. I am not a fan of the body but i love love orange so maybe the colour will change my mind. Remember to get some of those sticky full size car wheel balance weights and stash them around the front of the chassis. You can get some in the front cavities if you do it before step 1. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted April 10, 2020 Well this is one version of Orange!!! But like an emerging butterfly Mmmmm Chocolate Orange or perhaps Jaffa cakes!!!!! Apologies for the photography. In real life the orange is alive. Its Tamiya Metallic orrange, backed with Core RC metallic silver then Black. The black detailing is on the outside. Cut the overspray film to reveal the bits that needed colour then Black followed by flat coat. Will probably get the rest of it built by the end of the weekend as I have all the bits. I think the wheels are going to be either black or Gunmetal as I think white might be too stark a contrast. More to follow...... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What amount of weight are we talking about. Will be running 13.5T blue bottle, thats if the sensor lead is long enough, mind you I can borrow the one from the Asterion as that is bound to be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have about 45 grams of weight stashed either side of the chassis just behind the steering arms in a little recess, on top of the tub near the central body mount and a couple on the end of the servo saver. I didn't know about weighting it until after I built it so mine's all on the outside. Something around 45-60 grams will be grand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted April 12, 2020 This has turned into the quickest build I think ive done so here goes!!!!! Its a very straightforeward build with no real complications. The motor and electrics arent in it as I was not in the mood for soldering, also I need a sensor cable as I'm going to fit a 13.5T "bluebottle" and 19T pinion. Doubt if I'll put any more stickers on. Less is more as they say. Just have to work out where to fit the driver, as not a kit item. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted April 18, 2020 Some more Orange arrived yesterday. This is what I've got in my Blitzer and its really good. Have ordered a 19T .8 mod pinion as the one I had was mod .6. Will use kit stock 17t for shake down set up trials. Infact I ordered 2 19T pinions as I beleive DT-02 uses the same not that I've got one. YET 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
