Re: Radio opinions

I got FS gt2e which binds with at least 4 fsa3 receivers. Cheap and works. There's an FS A2 tx but takes a lipo battery which seems to be more expensive than the tx it powers so sticking with the AA battery option.

Ct-60 gear box cover, £30 from a US seller. I don't think so, I found a square black plastic flower pot in the shed that'll make bundles.

Re: Hirobo Zerda: from wreck to runner

New cups are a bit longer than zerda parts but fit ok, maybe about 1mm could be ground off the new cups if necessary and 61mm bones seem the norm on the front.

A tough decision, I love a good bodge of parts by juiced. But dadio's patience in waiting for 3d printers to produce etc deserves recognition.

Re: Hirobo Zerda: from wreck to runner

More often right D. Been fiddling with this restore. Side panels, two options and tried the hirobo Toyota Celica wheels on it. Pondering dadio's much earlier idea of side panels to enclose rv and battery. Not sure I like hirobos panels with Meccano like holes. Any opinions welcome Screenshot_2022092...

Re: Do you display with or without electronics?

Gotta be a functional runner I reckon. Otherwise might as well be airfix or revell kit. Getting it "working" is half the enjoyment. But I'm not a collector just a dabbler and bodger.
