    You just have to modify. If the body mounts don't fit Modify. Don't sit around saying that if Can't be done. Modify

    I mean finding the right scale. This rig is a 1/7, which my understanding.. not much are made for 1/7.

    So find a 1/7 body and modify it. Make it fit. As a RCer you must have extra parts right? MAKE IT WORK!!!

    Plentyyyyy. Haha. In the future. I'm great modifying parts and scaling, but I always seem to mess up shells. Waiting on something affordable. The traxxas shell is a Ford, but it's a trophy truck. If I had someone make a sticker sheet for it I'm sure you couldn't tell what it is.

    So make one yourself. Yes it may not what you exactly want at first but that the glory of making it yourself. So look at it as a work in progress. Like a racer just starting out. He may not have a sponsor yet or he may have only a few. Make it up as you go. Tell a Story with it.

    I got a cheap plane to learn with and have utterly destroyed it. I bought a P40 kit while waiting on the cheap-o to arrive and never built it. Then I got a simulator that uses my Tx and hell, I keep crashing those, too. Just can’t wrap my head around it.

    But I’ve been told pullers and pushers fly a little different.

    Hello All,
    I have a car ,4 new 7.2 NIMH batteries less then a year old 30 to 45 min Run on one , new esc, charger, motorm and the spare connectors clips etc you see in the storage case . If you pay shipping it is yours . I was going to use it for prey training for my dog . Got it from a buddy who had moved on to bigger ones. I ran it a few times the esc broke got a new one ran it and something else is wrong. It won't respond to programming with the new controller . I am not into the scene and not interested in getting into it . The parts storage case does not come with it . I need to box it and get a weight for shipping costs. I gather because of the batteries it has to go ground . Quote this post if Interested it will go to the first on the list that pays the shipping .

    I’ll be your Huckleberry. Looks like. Duratrax Evader and some parts are still available. Pull the wheels off, unscrew the upper bolts on the shocks and they’ll fold over, the pack as much as you can into the body.

    Zip 39482.

    Finally tore my Twin Hammer apart after the rear end locked up this summer. Got readjusted and put back together but now my motor won’t run. The ESC is receiving the input from the remote but no spinning of the motor. Ordered a stock replacement since they are $15 and look into brushless later.

    These two items fell out when taking things apart. That copper piece might be my issue. :notsure:

    Now that the weather is getting nicer, i'm ready to get out and send these bad boys....I did a paint job this winter on my Losi Ten SCBE....and then picked up an old skool gem off eBay for a pretty good price....$150 shipped....came with a brushless Castle Creations Mamba Mx Pro combo, all I needed was an rx......got it calibrated and programmed and she screams!
