Well, that's actually one of the few things I have upgraded, it has premium bearings. I'm sure any advantage is likely negated by the out of round gears, I fully expect it to sound like a wood chipper going down the straight

Many many thanks to Chris (1300GT) for machining up a set of aluminum axles for me. They fit much better than the crappy steel ones and shave off 7 grams. 20231028_085916.jpg Some pretty high end electronics going into it.....

I hate painting bodies as I suck at painting, it's good from far but far from good. I don't know if my Tamiya tape was old or what but I suffered a lot from edge bleed, the tape felt a little different then I remembered it. Maybe it's time to try a different tape. I should learn to use liquid mask b...

Thanks guys, it doesn't look too bad. It will be fun to mix it with a few of the fast guys if I can make it that far up the list. Alex - don't be so sure about that.... You'll probably be lapping me. I still need to figure out gearing, timing, ESC programming and any bugs that arise with no prep tim...

This has been a fantastic build! Thank you for bringing us on the journey with you. The SRT is one of my grail trucks, including in the factory works converted form but I found my other grail truck the storm 2000 which I need to get up and running With regards to gearing, I can try to help if you n...

Here's a little mod that I did to overcome the sloppy hinge pin holes in the +/- 1 degree mounts to give myself some tuning options. Very simple but it works. 20231030_221917.jpg Nearly finished the truck tonight, just gotta decal it up and it's pretty much done :D I dug this thing out..... 20231030...

Truck is done !!

I still need to glue the tires and set camber etc but it's done. Overall I think it turned out pretty good, it's as close to box art as I can get it.

That's come up a treat, RJ.... you should be well pleased with the result. Will be a shame when I crash into it on the weekend.... so try and avoid my mobile chicanery ;) Thanks Alex, It has only taken me what, a year and a half to gather up all the parts? It might give you great pleasure putting a...

I was wondering if someone would notice, that's my subtle protest

I have to say that RJ's truck looked awesome in the flesh at the Bash.... and his performance was a standout for me, from a pretty awesome weekend of racing, chatting, and talking poop. Was great to finally meet the guy, after we've given each other so much carp over the years on here! Such a brill...

I concur with Mr Serious about RJ's performance. I was watching the finals on livestream. Very impressive considering the truck was finished not long before the event. Very well driven.👍 Was great to finally meet the guy, after we've given each other so much carp over the years on here! Wait! What?...
