TOPIC:

Had some parts lying around mostly TA01/02 and DF01 parts some hotshot wheels and tires.
Here is the end result.





It has got a 55T motor and 16T pinion, think I will lock the rear diff, will get abused by a seven year old.

There's a lot of building for little-uns going on just recently, anyone would think it's nearly xmas!

Anything like this is always gonna be better than xmassy chinese RTRs - more resilient & upgradable as the youngun gets the hang of it.

interesting idea with the tiewrap shock spacers, I'll have to remember that one!

I still loathe the look of truggies - but that is pretty impressive for a spares pile build


It got me thinking though - could I build a whole car from what's in my spares pile?

I think I could...
- Grasshopper gearbox
- Thunderdragon chassis tub
- TA01 front end
- SRB bumper
- mismatched pogo shocks
- Frog wing
- tuber body from leftover tube & rod
- Manta Ray wheels
- Hotshot tyres
- lots of cable ties

... probably look suspiciously like this:

I was thinking of painting the rims silver/aluminium or should I keep them white?

I'd stick with the white - it echoes the white in the flames & will look good for longer than painted

Yeah I'd stick with unpainted too - paint don't stay stuck to Hotshot wheels (Think they might be polyethylene?

uhoh just couldn't control myself, just got this lot for 80 bucks



let see what I can make out of that when it arrives next week.

if anybody is in need of spares or a complete car, keep an eye out on coming threads

Nice score. Your DF-01s must be going double digit.
Save me some gearboxes for the FRP chassis drifter please...

coming up, Super Manta Ray, Dirt Trasher, Terra Conqueror and something from whats leftover. (got the TBG's and decals in store)



three of them look to be in good shape alomost no scratches, and the XB DF chassis still had the battery hatch (and the rest missing)

shell are and some funny wheels

those wheels would be good on a sprint car
