      Had to gut a bit more plastic this time, but it works, not as loud as it was with the previous 14t alloy pinion I had in there.

      the pinion came from this set at rcfart

      XRAY (#385701) Composite Pinion Set (13, 14, 15, 16),(385701)

      Still popping wheelies from a stop too :p.

      edit: I m now practising “safe shocks”, with my new rubbers, haha…..

      the rubbers keep the dirt out, I go over all sorts of terrain with this.

      I just used one of those disposible latex gloves, cut at few small rectangles out and fed the top into the thread of the top cap on the oil shock. I actually helps seal the oil better too, which is a funny sorta side outcome. I haven’t secured the bottom though, it’s running loose at the moment. I’m still testing for the best handling setup. I only figured out recently that you can change the springs on the oil shocks (doh! :dead:), so I’ve got some on order, :). I’m sick of using 4 spacers in each shock to stiffen it appropriately, blah!

      lol, that’s the last thing he wants to do….

      just checked it on the tammy speed checker, clocked in at 47kph/29mph!..

      betty, the motor issues are gone now man! I wound a 28 turn @ .4mm on a plasma dash armature, plasma magnets, bb can and modified carbon brushes. it’s land speed is now faster than when you last saw it in it’s prime dude.

      cheers,

      probably because it kept breaking before any decent mods had a chance to take hold. the 01 is just not up to melbourne conditions!:8ball:
