From what i gather the spur gear is attached to the outer casing of the Hydradrive, the unit itself being filled with thick viscous fluid. Various fluid thicknesses can be used to tweak the set up. Within the Hydradrive unit is some sort of impeller which is attached to the shaft. The spur turns und...

Perfect!
And now we know why you've chosen white and gold.

Been rebuilding/renovating my hobby shed/space. Started before I went into self isolation, but the last week has let me crack on with it, here’s some pics https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49407384358_501dfe1488_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49418574007_ed35d6a942_k.jpg https://live.st...

IMG_20200331_203635.jpg IMG_20200331_204104.jpg IMG_20200331_204254.jpg Got the roller done I'm pretty happy with it so far. I just have some losi wheels on there for right now. I've seen this car with yokomo wheels on it and I've seen it with normal wheels let me know which you guys think I should...

Great to see this finished and safely on its shelf ! How did you solve the broken mono shock mount in the end ? haha thanks! Yes, the shelf is where it belongs, really... To fix that broken mount (and hence the chassis altogether), I used something like that: https://static.gorillacdn.ch/media/imag...

Hey folks, Early Brat has been lurking in my attic for a couple of years and lockdown here in the UK has given me an excuse to drag it out. This is my first ORV having been a Kyosho Scorpion/Beetle kid. The car is very original and likely quite low miles. It has the 380 motor, setup to take a 6v bat...

A few years ago I picked up a basket case Rough Rider for like $10 at the going out of business sale of a long time hobby shop. I bought it because it was cheap and original, and I thought it would be fun to take apart. I had no plans for it. Fast forward to 1300GT's incredible 4WD SRB thread . That...

I would try contacting TeamBlueGroove, they do fairly decent repros of all kinds of stuff, including some Hirobo offerings:

They might be interested in repopping your gear cover.

Steve Haskins of Penguin bodies does a great job, I have been thoroughly happy with my bodies I have bought from them. I don’t believe he is on here, but he is on Facebook and eBay

The other one that comes to mind is Old RC but I'm not sure he makes "copies"

Worth a shot....

getting closer
just need to print bumpers ,and the hood scoop ,and apply the rest of the decals .and i will be ready for electronics

I can't believe it's been 10 years already since I got involved in this... it's insane :shock: The good news is, I still have it and I still love this car dearly. And I still run it once in a while, last time just a few days ago. Just wanted to share a couple of pics of the car, dirty like it should...

The wheels look great!

Man, Dadio, you're getting good at this 3d design/printing thing.

I'm getting a little closer to having a running car I've got the body and under tray painted and installed. I also have the electronics almost all done :D. Don't mind the wheels I have some coming from JC racing. IMG_20200427_172759.jpg IMG_20200427_172723.jpg IMG_20200427_172742.jpg IMG_20200427_17...

Getting there. new servo mounts painted and installed, hood scoop installed. printing a interior now.
