Fast attack restore, final part! she lives!
Hi dudes, after much toil sweat and tears, ive finally finished my FAV runner. i didnt go all out mad on the paintjob as i new it was only going to be a runner, and given the nature of this car, in a battlezone it wouldnt excactly be shiny with a nice finish in my opinion.. or is that just an excuse lol :)..
the gearbox in these are a real challenge but after talking to a few TC members and a bit of research ive now got the smoothest gearbox and trouble free running :) ....for those of you who know the problems with the FAV and wild one gearbox, simply replace the part W2 (in the FAV manual here on TC) with 1 small 850 bushing, no shims or washers just that. adding to that i added a thick washer inside the damper on the shaft and snipped off around 2 coils from the top of the rear springs to lower the car and soften the suspension slightly, bringing the dogbone more inline with the gearbox as the angle is way to steep causing the popping and notchy feel it had before. sport tuned loaded and gave it a blast in the garden to test and runs great!! still wanting some front spots though!!! please if anyone has any lying around i have paypal waiting, cheers

I love the look of the FAV, I wish I could do a paint job like that and say I was suttle

Looks like you stole some Wild Willy decals there. How much paint came off before the green went on?
