First race I wondered why I had lost throttle response towards the end, turns out that my axles were half inch thick and solid grass... :bored:

The Traxxas ran better than the Losi towards the end too! A whole two laps faster than the Losi on its last outing! It never ceases to amaze me how a plastic hunk of junk I bought back in 1997 can do so well when it rains... then again I've lost count of what I've changed and/or adapted from other models.

Anyway, great racing :) Martin is running way from us noobs :( I struggle to just come second to him now.

You are still missing the most crucial adaptation though:

Turning it into a Rustler!!!!

Simple but pricey conversion, the chassis is largely the same, but it needs the following:

Arms
Wheels
Front axles
Camber links
Driveshafts
Castor blocks
Body mounts
Shock shafts (they are a diff length)
A cool truck body, ideally a Chevy :D

Expensive in the end really. It will happen eventually, maybe for the Christmas sleigh. :D

running away from the noobs :o im a total noob myself, think it maybee something to do with the last 15 years playing video games improving my hand eye coordination, and a good dose of luck :lol:

cunawarit 19-08-2013 10:02 PM

I put it down to me not playing video games for the last 10 years ;)
