Had a good day in the workshop today, Put the World Superbikes on and started cleaning

While cleaning I noticed that very dirty Stadium raider (it came with the Sand rail chassis lot) & decided to sort it out :sick:

Since I'm more likely to on sell, I didn't want to spend any money on it

I had a scratch around and found some suitable bit's to make it pretty

One of the main things wrong with it was the long chassis half having plenty of damage :pinch:

Not only a chunk out of the front exposing the gears, but the lower arm mounts being badly cracked :sick:

Luckily for me I bought a new chassis cheap for my other TL01 a while back & even more lucky I kept the old one after the change over

After stripping & cleaning I started the rebuild, It already had full bearings so the only other things required was a body and wheels. I've had this Zonda body and HG alloy wheels for a while, I did need to make some Tri-hubs for the wheels and fiddle around with some body mounts to suit the holes already in the body :blink:

All being said, she came up a treat

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate

Got some parts sorted just need rear drive shaft and the gearbox side cup to go with it. Think the TT01 cups are the same. I might be interested in that brat depends on cash flow for the wifes 40th coming up soon.
