You should be dead chuffed with the way it's come out , very well done ! Can't wait for Hoth

Just found some BL 2440 motors on eBay that are a direct swap for the 380 motor and they weigh in at between 50 and 68g , less than half the weight of the 540 at 154g potentially losing 100g and that's a worthwhile number .

I got away with the jump because the wife decided to put in a flower bed , she never finishes a job so she left the turf and soil there in a heap , I just gently massaged it into a jump , confidentially behind the scenes I'm winning

Another video with the WLtoys A959 motor , think this is the sweet spot .

I've watched a load of similar videos and they all use vacuum pumps , I keep thinking I really need one .

I think you and Dadio are almost ready to form a gang of ringers to enter into a Grasshopper racing league. Yours will be the wolf in sheep's clothing and his will be a bionic Grasshopper. It's a goooood idea. Maybe its time to create an RC10Talk Champions Cup with a Grasshopper Class (I can donate...

That goes really nicely

Mark , I have a resin printer , if it would help I could print a split tire that could be used to make a mould , my printer is too small to make the mould but a regular tire should fit , just a thought , you may have someone more local .

I'll have a go , it's going to be quite radical , just thought about the RC10DS , don't they have much shorter shocks ? They are much, much shorter. They use the .56 body, which is the same as the short arm front shocks. But they use an even shorter .35 shaft. I have test fitted 1.02 truck front sh...
