Firefly upgrade first built 2009

Post by 971wright »

Hi Guys It was time to upgrade and modifie my old fFirefly, it had run well since 2009 using Tamiya running gear at first, then had a suspension upgrade to fit standard Mato plastic wheels and suspension when they first came out (but the hull was left standard length ).
The DBU worked well but it finally died so it was time to do it right, Have a IBU2 fitted now (just for wiring and testing on Sunday it will have a IBU pro fitted)have made the hull the correct length (1" longer) also fitted mato metal suspension. Sorry don't have any photos of original (they were lost off the forum when it crashed and off my computer when it crashed)
here are some photos

regards pete
