Actually got round to sorting out another build ( Finished )
I have finally got round to digging out some parts so i can start to build something, hopefully get started later
Just gotta dig a shell out of the attic but that can wait for a while.

Nice collection of parts.... somehow the potential of a collection of parts is sometimes more mouthwatering & exciting, than the end result?!

Re: Actually got round to sorting out another build :)
Yeah i totally hear what your saying Dan , been getting the last few bits together for a while after buying a huge job lot of parts from lowry.
Ive got another RC10 that i have a few more bits to get before i start building and also a savage to sort out for when the weather gets nicer.
With the evenings getting lighter now, i may keep the RC10 till the autumn and just concentrate on running outdoors when i get chance.
I have however got quite a stash of XX and XXT parts now so i may have enough to build some other incarnation????

Exciting!!! Judging by the tyres this is gonna be a runner!? Good haul of parts, agreed Dan, having all those new parts displayed together feels special, almost more so than being on the carCaine wrote:Yes sir, a G+

Re: Actually got round to sorting out another build :)
Have you gone for the same tyres as I have on my G+? - I must admit the Vee4s are not great on grass - but it is a really nicely balanced truck on tarmacCaine wrote:Yes sir it will be a runner, as i said above i try to keep a few steps in front so i still have bits in boxes to salivate overjamin wrote:Exciting!!!

Re: Actually got round to sorting out another build :)
Yes Dan they are the same tyres as yours actually, they were an eBay purchase and only cost £10 plus p&p for the 2 pairs so a bargain! Fronts are yellows but the rears are blue, I have never run vee4 as I normally use yellow mini spikes on my T4. Thanks for the heads up I'm sure they will just be used for having a mess round on the Tarmac etc as they will be to hard for running indoors at club. But as I said paying a tenner for two pairs, you can't go wrong really
Re: Actually got round to sorting out another build :)
Actually got time to finish the truck, well finished apart from the shell! I have a duratrax truck shell that will go straight on there which i will use as a beater until i get the guts to paint this one as a XXT box art. My painting efforts normally go wrong, so i might just get someone else to do it for me!
Will get some electrics in it, then i just have to wait for our wonderful british weather to brighten up before i run it
Anyway here's some pics

Not to fussed about it being smack on box art sticker wise really, i have a couple of sets of the G+ ones and some of the vinyl XXT pink stickers so should be able to get somewhere near, love the XXT box art but not so keen on the G+

Looks like a great truck, nice job.
Is that just an optical delusion or is that motor plate really bent?

What I meant was 'IF I had the time' which I am afraid I don't right now - 2 week old baby keeping me up day and night!Caine wrote: If you had the time to do it Ben that would be awesome!
