Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
Been meaning to do this for ages , it's a gear cover for the pinion and spur , it won't seal it all completely as it can't be sealed at the bottom of the chassis but it should stop crap raining down on the gears .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
The tires i ordered to run it with finally arrived yesterday so today she ran for the first time since the rebuild , the transmission sounds incredibly smooth ! its still running the silver can complete with the odd plastic pinion that came with it but it still ran with a nice enough pace with the 2S 2200mah lipo i made for it , its a very easy car to drive , nicely balanced , quite pleased for a first run , until i can find some metal diff crown gears i think i'll keep the silver can motor to preserve the plastic crown gears . The last of the decals arrived as well so you can see where I'm heading with the body paint job .

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
They all run even if only lightly , its a big part of it for me to know what each car on my list drove like , I don't think I could resist , that's kind of why I have left some cars out of my collection so far, I really want a Marui Samurai but they are so renowned for being fragile ..... One day maybe .

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
Wile E on your Coyote! Too bad SG didn't do a "Tamiya" and have a proper animal logo for it. You'll also have to find a Spica Road Runner to go with the Coyote.

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
Cool to hear you ran it without breaking anything. Love the Wile E decals..can’t wait to see the body now! I have some metal crown/ring gears for you..they are the chrome plated, pot metal ones. Not the nice machined ones, but better than plastic.

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
I'm away on holiday soon so all spending is off so the body will have to wait for paint , very slow build this one by my standards but its getting there .

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
I've now fitted the metal crown gears that BattleTrack kindly supplied , I've run it a few more times , still sounds silly smooth and is so composed , of all my Vintage cars probably only the PB Mini Mustang drives better but I've not driven them back to back yet so I don't know , with getting the resin 3d printer this month I'm still short on cash for paint but next month I really must daub some colour on the body .

Re: TAG Coyote resurrection
Haha! That's a great paint scheme right there! Love it!
EDIT: The only thing it's missing is something along the lines of "ACME Racing Inc."
