Ok some more update - installed Nanda SBB shocks 40/60 wt f/r :

















Next in line is to tidy up the electronics. She will get a Castle Creation Mamba Monster Max V2. Then I will setup the car on the 1/8 scale setup thingys & hopefully she will run this weekend.

Regards,
Joe Ling

hey joe looking great... is that the 3mm spring steel rod that you bent to specs or a modded sway bar from another vehicle? Good luck if you get her running this weekend.

I fly, I drive, but most of all I crash.

TBH, those are steel rod from a bicycle spoke. This is the nearest thing that i can find that resembles spring steel. Hope it works. Yep I need some luck as I will be running a brand new unmodded MMM.

Those are Nanda super big bores I bought from my lhs for about USD30 per pair c/w springs. I think they are known as radical rc or something in the states.

Yeah it does a bit. I think the auw is 5+kg but still, the 7XL with a BK9920 I had in there earlier on could make it fly. I have since detuned to a 8XL + MMM. Still no chance to try it out yet because of racing activities. Just raced my BL X1 buggy against nitro over the weekend. Very fun & the nitro boys looked mildly disturbed

Rgards,
Joe Ling

Hi guys,

Step on it already . You'll like it . Use a Losi 8T body, fits real nice.

No vids though, the last time this truck ran was 6 months ago in the mud. Since then, did a lot of cleaning + some upgrading & now still waiting for the body but I've been distracted with preparation for a big local race coming up first 2 days of next month.

Regards,
Joe Ling

I have all the alu peices from a savage anoed black (including FLM. pics soon) and im selling my on road stuff. So I will buy buying, or trading for a roller to get my F/R end

I cant wait!

How do you like the LPR's on there? I love them, I cant decide between those, and the XL savage tires. The LPR handle alot better, and are lighter. but i am not building this thing to handle like a dream
