Hey guys

Well still a few things to do till im happy, im changing the wing mounts and fitting new shock towers, and ive got some new dampers and various bits on the way, i wasnt keen on the Atomics fitted.
She's had a full rebuild, and ive gone with my trusted Hara speedo too, though things are tight in this lil' guy lol.
Will soon have a fresh custom bodyshell too.

Plan to be racing very soon...and i really cant wait!

What chassis is that?

[ralphee]

Its an XRAY M18T Jimmy, with a BG4 buggy conversion, bought her off a member here and im tinkering with some stuff to dial it to my liking lol.

They have currently discontinued the conv kit, but hope to bring it back soon!

Looking real nice Ralphee..i had one my self, in that time no Q it is the best handling "1:18" car i ever been driving... i used to use Losi shocks..

real nice!!!

[ralphee]

Thanks Thomas, i have some Losi shocks, but the ball ends wont fit from what i have here, the Losi shafts are much thinner, so i just thought id try a set from 3 racing as they have threaded bodies, im hoping they actually work, just waiting on some gear now, and ive sent a shell to Jon Miller for some cool paint (yup, he rocks)!

I did have a run with her before the strip down and new electrics, very impressed, smooth power delivery, very stable handling, and it jumps very well indeed.
I will get this one finished off, get to racing, then start my quest for a true micro 2WD buggy!

Holy moly, thats a very swish chassis there Thomas! I like the wider track, may have to try that out as i know a very good machinist!

Id bet thats as stable as hell too, so id like to try it out!
