She's spent two years sitting on a shelf with a busted rear drive belt and I finally got sick an tired of staring at it ( even pondered selling it :'( )  so decided to get the toy out and put a new kevlar belt on that I'd ordered.

Took it down the park this afternoon for a blast, she bloody flies now :cool: I'd almost forgotten how much fun these things are :D nearly took out some kids that wanted to get a bit to close :twisted:

Just giving her a feed after her big workout today :)

:lol: it's a Schumacher brand kit, made to boogie :D it'll do 60kph with the current 8.5 turn motor on 21T, if put the 3.5 turn motor in with 25T and reset the diff height for lower CG she'll do 190kph with tarmac tyres.

190?!?
If that's a 12 or so scale, that's equivalent to an arse-tearing 2,280! :crazy1:

1/10th scale, that's why I generally only use the 8.5 for my bashing around.

The 3.5 can be speed set via the ESC but still has long legs and the local tarmac track near me is quite tight so I tend to just have fun with the off road setup, it's embarrassed several serious drag cars down the track in her early years :)
