Default Big Bores fitted

Team Associated big bores fitted front and back. Just waiting on wing tubes, then the wing can be mounted. Wheels and tyres ready to fit. Like I said in a previous post, I have fitted B3 CVDs and Axles. Allows for slightly more droop and the B3 range of wheels...

Then its electrics to fit. I will go for a brushless motor and ESC. Looking around 10.5 - 9.5 maybe. I also have REEDY shorties so all good........

Default Wheels & Tyres/ Shortie Fitted...

A couple of pictures showing the new indoor EOS tyre choice for this year.

Think the fronts will work well without any removal of the spikes...

Rears (TR32s) were for me, the ultimate tyre on damp/wet grass back in the day..

REEDY shortie fitted. Ive cut down the cups to allow for the shortie to move forward and backwards.......

Hi Alan,

Not finished yet. I purchased some wing tubes from Germany that the seller never had and tried to take my money....

Lucky I paid via paypal and had to make a claim to get money back, which I got back yesterday.........

I have managed to gain some from a nice oopler who has sent them, so just waiting for them to turn up, then I can finish it........

Weeks it won’t last that long

It does look good with all my parts on don’t suppose you’ve got a spare rear tower have you?
