yup no point rushing, end result should look awesome and as long as you enjoy the build that is the main thing :D

dads midnight pumpkin should be here the morn, he has already ordered oil shocks and the bearings to come with it, think ill give him a top shock mount from my lunchie kit, i only used one for the 5th shock which he is also doing so he is a mount down and i like the comedy handling with the stock shocks on bumpy terrain :P

Interesting to see that lorry being built, I've not seen one before. Does it have a trailer or is that something that can be added later?

Trailers are another purchase I'm afraid and not a cheap purchase either :p
 
Just got a set of Proline 'Big Joes' 3.8 for my Savage project. Bloody huge :) Now just waiting for some bits to come from Ali that was a lot cheaper than I could get here or on the bay.

he has done the 5th shock mod and has oil shocks instead of the standard ones, ordered my self a load of bits and bobs last night along with oil shocks to try out.

lowered the pinion gear on my tamiya sand viper earlier as the 17 tooth pinion was over heating like mad in this weather, it has a nice steel 15 tooth now but still getting hot lol

mr sandviper over ten year old :)

@Yrkoon I'm really liking the cups of tea, pork scratchings and beer nestled among those photos. Looks serious business....

I went and bought another Tamiya kit, I blame this thread and not my impulsiveness.
 
put oil shocks on the lunchie this morning and added cheapo led's for the front lights, had fun driving about the garden alongside dads pumpkin :)

edit : these are the lights, they just go straight into the light fittings the lunchie already had https://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-white-headlights-pair-/rc-car-products/368699
