it's alive!!!!
First off i'd like to say thx to monty for putting a name to this one. if you've read the other bit you'll know but i pick this up from a mate who'd had it but it had never been run(until today...LOL) i did'nt have a clue about it. so i did'nt know if to keep it or use it to fund my other cars. This morning i woke up and sat looking at the lifeless chassis sitting there all naked and in need of help so off i go to my local hobby shop to see luke and see what he has to say about it. After much poking aronud in dark corners of the shop he came up with the shell and only a fiver..so battery box/glow starter and shell in hand off home i go to put it all together and see if it works, the shell is not a great fit but it will do till i fine a proper shell. I had a front long shock stay from an outlow(nip) laying around so i fitted them to the front to give a bit more strength,The body mounts are modded from an Turbo ultima, well got it all together and off outside i go........prime....glow.....pull...nothing.....mmmmm...try again and she fired on the second pull let her tick over through two tanks of fuel and off we go.......and boy is it fun i love it...i'll be posting a short film tomorrow after i take it down the fields....
I'm looking for bits for this things like: rear roll cage,spot lights,light decals that will suit,front bumper/bullbars, you know the sort of thing, bits a truck like this would have fitted, i have a TL01 up for trade or sale have a look in the showroom.....just email let me
