It reminds me of Herbie the love bug! :mrgreen: Thanx Thumbers for me not being able to get that outta my mind every time I look at it now :lol: Its a 1/10 scale Schumacher .21 xtr3. Back at the end of the nitro stadium truck era Schumacher started throwing bigblock power in the mix to take sales a...

On a tip from another forum I just opened up the 1500 mAh lipo that came with it and its a LI IRON battery inside or at least its two LI iron round cylindrical cardboard covers cells with no markings other than QX ! As I said this was discovered elsewhere and might be a way around delivery problems...

That's art .

After sorting the motor and getting a bit more articulation I thought I'd set up some obstacles to try some crawling , firstly I realised that I needed to lock up the front diff to get any where , while I was there I ground the ends of the leaf springs for grater flex , so after those mods I was bac...

It seems almost wrong to ask but are you going to paint it ? I'm loving the Steam Punk flavour it has in bare metal .

Its also very cheap and if you don't like the finish it will come off with media blasting or just paint over .

As a mechanic with 29 years under my belt yes synthetic is best , it maintains its lubricating quality's longer and is more thermally stable , if there is one thing that has changed the life of an engine from 80.000 miles to the current expected 150.000 miles then its the oil .
