Figured I would post this up as it seems to be a favourite place for these models.
Got this from my LHS Bay Hobby Supplies here in NZ. It was a nitro and a lot of fun until the carb started playing up and didnt want to hold a tune. But since I got it I have had most of the bits already with the intention to convert it to electric.
Only had three small problems with it, radio is junk and has been swapped for a cheap hobbyking setup, I ripped a tyre early on as I didnt check the beads to see if they had been glued properly from the factory. And stripped an alloy crown and pinion gear in the rear.
Apart from the body being made from chinese takeaway containers and needing ample amounts of shoo goo and drywall tape. I love this thing! Its so much fun to drive especially on loose dirt but also just as much fun on the asphalt sliding around!
Mods are: castle 3800kv 1410 motor, hobbywing WPSC8 esc, 17t pinion, and the diff upgrades as seen in TURTLE/HOONIGANS thread (having a mad force ve I know how important the 'double up' of the diff gears is).
Here is a video of it when it was nitro, (minus the diff upgrades) will post a video up of it in brushless form soon when I get to take one, so keep an eye on this thread.
Cheers
