Built most of mine last night, quite happy with it! I'm going to round off the tops of the shock towers, with them being pointy i think they are more likely to stick in the ground and potentially snap, other than that i cant wait to try it

Awesome the last time I ran her!
Just can't get over how good mid motor is on high grip!

How is the gearbox?
I wanted to put mine together this evening and it felt very hard to turn.
Will open it up again tomorrow and see what the issue could be...

In mid, Mine has a point where it binds a little. May be a few more packs & it will losen up!

Where you have your ESC is where I was going to place mine when I first built her!

I just got my un-anodised alloy parts powder coated by this chap
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rc-Cars-Buggys-Powder-Coating-/131128519499?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&ha sh=item1e87de6b4b

& very happy I am too!

Here's what I had done in black!









Three parts plus the shims under the ball ends £18 inc shipping back to you.
Pretty good!

Can anyone confirm if the kit comes with the parts to convert to mid motor?

If not, what are the part numbers you need?

All the parts are in the box for either mid motor or rear motor...

Ive bent two rear shock shafts and had a drive shaft fall apart at the axle, little bit gutted but durango dex210 axles fit with a few spacers so thats job done, just need to find some stronger shock shafts!

Car drives really well though!

To install your esc there, did you have to grind away some of the chassis ribs?

Thanks for the info, very tempted to get one of these for occasional use.

I've got another question for you, what wheels do you run on this? Have you tried other brands like Schumacher for example?

Nope, didn't modify the chassis in any way to fit the speedo there...

I've been running Team C wheels on mine since I got it, I don't like yellow wheels and that's what come in the box
