Bought this from Tamiya_runner recently, and decided to build it with a few hop ups, so mainly thanks to Stellamodels it's got titanium screws, slipper clutch, front one-way, front and rear braces, heatsinks, steering bearings (thanks to Twinset for sending me some - cheers!), high torque servo saver, DF02 universals all round and erm - think that's it.


Electric wise, bought a second hand ESC, Nosram Hawk reverse - it's diddy! 19t Demon power motor, standard futaba rec and thought I'd try a metal geared servo off of ebay this time around. It's great fun squeezing the electrics into the chassis, quite a challenge.


Haven't run it properly yet, will try it how it is then think about trying it with the shocks behind the wheels - read on here many times that it improves handling.


Didn't like the standard decals, went with gun metal paint for the main body, clear windows and some fine white lines and basic decals - MK Racing is a site I bough a couple of parts from, they sent some decals free and I thought the black and white logo went with the colour scheme! Didn't want to see loads of paint chipped off the wing, but didn't want to leave it unpainted so though I would try it with aluminium tape on it :) Although the tape is lifting off a bit around the edges, could do with being painted I suppose, okay for a runner though!


Must remember to cut the body posts Camera refused to take a clear shot of insides :(

Moving the rear shocks makes a big difference, stops the back end bouncing all over the shop at speed.
