Not finished yet still a few things left to plug in and adjust like the track recoil which is to pronounced and extend the rear light plug but there jobs for the next couple of days!

Looks and sounds ace.
Agree that track recoil needs turning down a bit.

You can adjust the time and power of the recoil to the motors.
The time definitely needs reducing and then if looks to harsh reduce the power.

What method did you use to remove the grills? Cheersspongehoobtank82 wrote:Hey scalawag, yeah its just in that position while I wait for the glue in the barrel extension to dry, once it is it will be more bunched up than that
Removed the grills in the turret sides now just got to sand the area down.

Hey dude there are two pins that locate it in the turret, you need to take the turret apart cut the glue from these pins then you need a thin blade to slide between the grills and turret sides and gently pry them off, hope that helps mateshadytree wrote:What method did you use to remove the grills?

Yet run yesterday out and about!
She ran very well only a couple of minor problems
1: As was happening in my Leo the track is overriding the sprocket in rough terrain / turns due to the soft suspension and the weight of the extra mods so will have to either clock the springs or order some stiffer ones to remedy this.
2: The volume is asbo loud! So need some easy to adjust this externally, so I will either have to mount the volume pots so I can get at them some how when buttoned up or remotely, if I go for the later and for 2x rctanksaustralia vipers I will need a new RX as I only have 6 channels currently and will need 8.
Other than these minor problems she ran great was just lacking abit of speed so may add 3:1 gearboxes when I get chance although I do like the low down torque and creep.
Finally on a lucky not I have a flashing beacon on route ( cheers tankbear aka Ian!) so will get this fitted soon! Hope all you guys had a great Christmas/ new year and look forward to all you up coming builds!
