Now finished the lunchbox, I have built this 100% stock spec apart from adding Tamiya Lights. I am very happy with the end result. I fitted Tamiya Lights which when fitted form minture headlight units complete with dome reflector and Lens.


*Update*
The axle springs snapped after about the 4th run so I made some more which also broke. I didn't have the stomuch for the 3rd shock & hacksaw mod so I used a glue gun to fill the slot and make it fixed. This mod stops the motor clowting the shock tower all the time too (see last pic).

These are nice little runners.. You should try rock crawling and show us some vids!! In my opinion you should lower the front alittle, not only does it make the thing look nicer but also makes it handle better if you plan on racin' it...

I dont plan racing it as such but all my models are runners. Drove it the first time today, insane fun I have to say. As regard to the front being lower, the suspension is very soft and the front seems to sink when I use reverse. This Seems a bit odd but must be normal?? I do want to do some videos, although I dont want to topple it over and scratch it.

That sounds like a great idea Twinset, Can you get them in the UK? I can only find them on the Tower Hobbies Website.
