Ran well at the weekend

but I didn't lol

LMR to be cut at some point

Proper shell away to be painted

and undertray to be mounted soon.

Rebuild of shocks with Core RC oils and rebuild of diff with some RudeBits balls

Now I can rebuild my spare lazer with the parts I have left over

Finally finished building, and installing the electrics.

Have temporary motor in at the moment, just waiting on the VST 7.5 to come back into stock..

Only difference to others ive seen, im running with Big Bores, plus ive flipped the rear tower assembley round... it gives better clearance and shock position in my opinion..

njc11 · #26 18-06-2012

A couple more pics...

Im just waiting on my bodyshell, which should be with me this week

Looking forward to giving it a run... cheers to Tony, Dave and Kev for help, pointers and of course the car!

Good idea on the rear shack mount Nic, I only have BB's too and as you say clearance is a little tight, I will be trying that.

Adam F · #28 18-06-2012

Just a word of warning...I managed to snap the rear tower mount on landing with it mounted backwards.. (Donor had been built incorrectly by previous owner)

Not sure if its directly linked, but there are lots of stress raisers on the front of the mount (rear when reversed), wheras the rear (front when reversed) has a big smooth radius and lots of material to keep it strong..

Hey, thanks for the pointers..

Ive run the shocks on the rear of my FS to try before and never had any issues with breakages.. fingers crossed it will be just fine

RogerM · #30 19-06-2012

Looking good as always Nick.

I must admit that I just threw equipment in to mine as I pulled it out of the FS2 (didn't even desolder the motor wires) so there will be no pictures ... also ran it with the white overspray film as the colouring

Car was great from the word go, once I'd worked out the equivelent oils in the AE range to what Kev runs that is (straight cst number comparison doesn't quite work)!

You should know that Rog. I have the same problem with your AE oil rates.

Roger, just get some pics up

RogerM · #33 19-06-2012

I can't mate ... not a clue how to get them small enough.
Also as a photographer I am about as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

Mine looks like yours, with a white body (inc windows) and wiring that looks like a blind bloke did it!!!
Will tidy it up when I pop the R10pro in before the weekend

tomtom · #36 26-06-2012

Nice one !

Could you take a picture of the undertray installed and maybe explain how you installed it ?

Got mine but don't know how to secure it properly.

Thanks.

mikeyscott · #37 26-06-2012

Mine is held on by the rearmost front bulkhead screws and the rear gearbox screws the front just tucks under the front bumper..... so dead easy to remove but very secure.

Pedros20 · #39 27-06-2012

That's exactly how I've fitted mine too.
Fitted it flush with front bumper.

Love it, Love it. Have to admit I did get a bit of a preview when Mike sent me a photo of my shells. Yours was in the front of the shot. I also think that the DB1 shell shape is one of the best at the moment. Very very pleased with the work Mike has done for me. Will try and post some piccies of mine when I get the chance.
