It's weird, even though I packed the box I was still excited to see what you were going to pull out next.! 😉😂😁 As you were opening the little boxes I was like "Nice one", "sweet".! 😁😁😁 I can't tell you how happy it made me feel seeing you guys opening the parcel, you couldn't wipe the smile off my face right now.!! 👍 👍 I'm glad you seemed to like the metal caged rock buggy Mcthingy, I had all kinds of cool images in my head when I started building it, I even got a thin alloy sheet to make body panels with (let me know if you want it) but one thing led to another, I kept getting distracted, I ended up using the axles, shocks & driveshafts on a different build then it ended up stuffed in the loft for about 5 years.! As soon as I found it again along with the Hobao DC1 I knew I had to send it down to you guys.!!👍 👍 The FTX Stinger is a fantastic car, it slides around really well & it was very quick out the box with it's Hobbywing 10BL60 ESC & 3652, 4000kv? Motor.! I GPS'd it at 56 ish MPH.!! I've actually replaced it with the new FTX EVO30 brushed version that I've fitted the Stingers brushless system to.! 😉 Hopefully that light funtion module will still work with a different reciever, the stock one's a DumboRC. I can't say for certain if all of those brushed ESCs are working, they'll need to be tested. The brushless Rlaarlo ESC works & it's decently powerful, but the brakes sometimes don't release after you've applied them 100%, you have to blip the throttle to release them. It probably just needs to be calibrated but the manual didn't say how & I cant find anything online. Also nothing about programming it.!! I used to turn the brakes down on my FS-GT5 transmitter. It was taken from a Rlaarlo AK-787 alloy version.! Those part worn SC tyres are from a Hobao Hyper 10SC & in my opinion they really should go back onto that truck.... But you guys don't seem to have one.!? Well...that's not right.!! Something should definitely be done about that.! 😉 😉 Any hoo.. I have a new box & I'll start filling it soon.😉😉 HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS & THE VERY BEST WISHES FROM SCOTLAND 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍 ALL THE BEST FOR 2025.!!
Fantastic job on those first two restorations, Rob! Those cars look like brand new and they passed Mark's drop test! It's a cool bunch of stuff, very nice of Alan to send it to you, with some good Scottish dust, of course!
Oh wow!! Loads more tinkering goodness arrived! That box was slam packed with all kinds of stuff! You guys are going to have a great time getting all that sorted and back into fighting shape!! Happy new year to you all!
