Anyone got any pics or tips for bodymount setup when converting a buggy.
Think a front foam bumper setup be good too.

body mounts are rather.. hmmm how can I put it, over engineered LOL, only offcuts of ally I could find in the scrap bin LOL
will lighten and then anodise them later had a play round carpark and love the way these handle, awesome fun hanging it out sideways and sliding it around, never driven 4wd cars before, good laugh,

Its ready for the weekend. Feel free to have a go.
Its a lovely car. Ebay bargain. Its the better version with lots of alloy parts. Came with xerun brushless setup and ezrun setup. Loads of tyres spares oils etc. Been well looked after. 135 quid. Shell 25 quid Battery 25 quid. So for 185 quid im ready to rock n roll and crash lol Ive gone pretty simple setup. -1 camber all round Suspension setup feels nice lol. Only managed to play round car park. Not sure how much timing to run on the motor. Have to see how it compares to the others on the straight.

Looks mega that Tony!
Slightly chunky on the body mounts Be prepared to order a new body shell too. The BSR shells are made out of a strange material that isn't lexan, they fall apart pretty quickly! It's about the only thing that is a bit weak on the BSR Other than that, it's been a common set-up tweak to lie on the shocks right down, just like a touring car. Perhaps something worth trying on race day!

Cheers shell was cheap. Just to get me racing.
What about gearing and centre diff. Ive gone 19t pinion but now hearing online of 21 and 22 in use Are you locking centre diffs up Running mild motor timing and punch. Worried it might be bit slow.

Hi
you will have to see how it compares to the others for speed...depends on what the overall gearing of your RC8 is and spur size tbh,also the GRP wheels are a bit smaller than stock buggy so you need to go up 2 or 3 The BSR has a solid centre diff std, but some of the hobaos are locking theres with hot glue or blue tack ive heard

What a meeting yesterday! The final was a text book rally cross race, any of us could of had the win between the top 4! The joker laps played into it perfectly.
My RB convert was going better towards the end, hopefully shows you can buy an affordable buggy and convert it quite easily. I'll get some photos up soon to show how I've converted it.

That my rocket you were watching ... !! Simon BTW
Yours looked pretty good for first time out ... its amazing what difference changing diff oils can make ... 5000 in the back and 20,000 up front is a good starting place ... Body choice isn't great from UK shops TBH .. Rally Mondeo is popular and cheap - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Protoform-...QAAOSwxehXPaY4 This is what I run .. not cheap but does seem quite tough ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Associated...EAAOSw41xXPSRI or you can look here for some more unusual rally bodies .. http://www.deltaplastik.it/?p=prodot...at2=11&cat3=15 |

Just a quick update for you guys as there seems to be a mistake on the championship dates.... Round 6 - 21st August Round 7 - 4th September - Final round with trophy presentation. The weekend previously advertised for the final round (18th Sept) is the Mendip Masters of the Astroturf weekend and will only have pre paid entries for 2wd and 4wd 1/10 off road classes. Apologies for the mix up.
