Happy to see you back  Andy. I hope the weather is not too cold. 15°C in sandy bay ( tasmania) today. And 37°C here. My daughter and her future husband are in France  since a week.  Thermic choc was hard.🤣

Great to see you back Andy!

Thank's lads, I have still been following along just didn't have anything relevant to post haha

Little bit of progress on the Wild One, Steering sorted and motor installed Decided to clean the spare parts for my Fire Dragon, Turns out it's a complete car Who knew

 

 

Finished assembling the parts car Turns out it's a Terra scorcher, I even had the body set and wheels. I will paint and sticker the body but that's as far as it will go, It would need a bumper and pressed motor plate to make it a runner. If I consider you can buy new kit for $200 it makes no sense to buy just those 2 parts for around $80 Unless someone has them lying around haha.

 

Sorry Andy. My terra is sold and all spares are gone in norway.

Finished my 2026 Mud Blaster today.
Used the chassis from the Blackfoot I took the body from the XLT 150'n ​​CC-02.
Got the Brat body from a friend and used MCI decals.
Must say I'm happy with the result

It's a really nice mud blaster. Congrats !  I love it. 

Great job and a beauty! I remember saving for one of these (much easier as a teenager!) and being very impressed when comparing to my original 83 Brat.

One of the best boxes in my opinion as well! 

Just wanted to throw this out as I look at these gorgeous RC cars in glass cases. How do folks feel about sitting rc's on their wheels vs. suspended? 

I guess I never thought much about it but always suspended mine on a spare tire or something so the tires wouldn't flat spot though I have no idea how long it would take for that to happen. (or if its even a real problem)

Of course, type of tire, weight of vehicle and length of time it sat are all variables but just curious what my fellow TB folks do....

Agree with you, I have made plexiglass stands for most of my cars.It's basically pretty simple. Measure and cut the sheets, heat carefully with a heat gun and bend to the right angle.
