Re: Project Blue Eagle LS

Just thought, what you maybe would find helpful, pics of body mounted for positioning, and I scanned the cutting template actual size, might be of use? tim http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/purpletimbo/2013-06-06byEye-Fi/blueeagletemplate_zpsae2b92bc.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/pur...

Re: Project Blue Eagle LS

Just to reopen an old thread, was sorting boxes and found mine, you can compare the original body, I am missing one white rear shaft, that elusive gear cover and a battery hold down, just as I bought it and forgot about it!

Re: Another chinese rebrand

I posted once I had received it, a hobby shop here shut down and cleared 4 or 5 of them, I have offered it against the Twin force genuine of mine, and it seems to be a perfect copy, no give in the axle plastics, radio is fine, if anything a better rx box, arms seem to flex the same.

Re: Nikko Truck

Nikko branded GP-15 closest to look at is the Tamiya FS-15 I have seen so far, wish they were all as reliable, I left it in storage 2 years new fuel charged battery, didn't even need tuning.
