Bit more fettling on the old girl, as stated before, not much, Alex sold me a lovely car here, better condition than the 94 i got ripped off from Scott, its who to trust these days i think lol. Fitted new delrin diff gears, NIP arms, and new bearings and turnbuckles.
Even drilled one of the 94 cut bumpers, 91 style till i get more Kydex to do a 91 run of them, there way larger you see!

Oh and i think this girl will have brushless, and be raced, funny thing is my 2400 and 3000mah saddles, dont fit the chassis cutout width, solo, i reckon instead of any filing, ill just go with Lipo too, loving this car, cant wait to run her!

lee

Looking good Lee. What turnbuckles did you use?

Just some budget Ti 3racing ones mate, do the job fine, just noticed one on backwards, ill fix that to save my OCD kicking in lol. Way chuffed with her though mate, huge thanks, lovely car, cant wait to run it, think ill grab a Cobra shell to match the under tray.
Gonna go Lipo, but I'm struggling with tray ideas, soooo, im going to try square rubber feet, bonded to the lipo casing, these will slot into the cell cut outs, as i can't fit any 2400 or 3000 NIMH anyway, and I'm not filing the lower deck.....it'll be better with Lipo in any case!

When I ran that car I used gold trakpower lipo cells and held them in place by undoing the screws for the battery mounts then when the cells were in place tightening them up, worked well.

I have the turnbuckles on a my JRX pro, I ran 14 volts through them in a water and bicarb mix and they went a lovely brown colour

Ive got some Lipos on the way Alex, so ill see what height they are. Ah, so these turnbuckles are really chrome plated chocolate, hmm, ah well, if i snap one i can peel off the foil and devour lol.

yes..... I do have the same kind of OCD..... making all the turnbuckles at the same directions......in every single car.....

Mini im terrible, i get OCD over wiring being untidy lol, it stems from a modelling background where i strive for perfection lol, its annoying sometimes as it can be expensive too

Got my Cobra body shell today, just cut it and it fits great, sadly had to put a small couple of holes to clear the front screws, as Ken has the bullets molded in, but there not spaced right, and it fouls something rotten on the builkhead screws, all good with a couple of holes though. Hopefully paint it in the day couple of days!

lee

Just got thus far with the electrics install. Decided to man up, and file the chassis to accept my NIMH cells, wasnt a hard job, but i had to make sure i did it neatly, came out fine.
Mounted the Atom, as my Cyclone is back in my '94, and an Alturn hi speed servo, all seems good, just need to mount a motor, paint the shell, check all flaps and undercarriage, and i can give her a run!

lee

Hi lee, what motor are you going to use ??

All i got left buddy lol, a mint Trinity Kinwald 11 Quint lol, itll do for a test till i can get a few more modifiers, still not all that hot putting brushless in her, doesnt seem right lol.

lee

the body is by TBG ??

Nahh, body is by Cobra, the TBG ones are too small for my liking!
