Arms with adjustable camber, oil filled shocks and propeller joints for the drive shaft. All are Aluminium replacing plastic parts. Shocks need to be built and filled with oil so they will need to set overnight.

Added some xenon lights to my Nismo Silvia (TT01)
Already Stripped the Spur Gear on my Buggy
Luckily they are cheap and easy to get hold of.
Listen for the nice crunching sound in the video.
Got Sebastion Vettels head through the post today. Yes its the second Red Bull 7 Delivery!
The second 4 parts of the series include the main chassis, the front chassis, the front lower wish bones and the first Tyre.
Strangely they have also sent Vettel’s head which I can only assume they have included as an option if you do not like Mark Webber. As far as I know British and Australian subscribers get a Mark Webber edition where as Germany are further into a Vettel themed model.
You can see the First wheel and tyre glued together in the Photo along with a battery to give an idea of scale.
Why I can drive my car in heavy rain.
Waterproofing the receiver is as simple as stretching a party balloon over it and tightening the end where the wires come out. I had already replaced my stock speed controller with one that happened to be water resistant so no action was needed there.
Upgraded Monster Truck Rainy Bash With Jumps
Taking our souped up Tamiya Blackfoot monster trucks for a bash in the park and skate park.
Tamiya Blackfoot test run with its new 12t motor and esc
Upgraded Blackfoot with 12t x2 Motor and new Electronic Speed Controller
I decided to once again upgrade my motor on my electronic monster truck. The maximum upgrade people seem to recommend for a truck of thistype is a 12 turn with x2. the x2 gives it a little more torque to make up for the torque lost by using a lower turn motor. In order to use this I also had to replace the stock speed controller with one that would support a 12t motor.
The motor is an LRP v10 spec5 12×2 and I am using a Modelsport Sniper RV-12 ESC.
They seem to give the truck a nice boost compared to the small gain received by upgrading it with a tamiya motor.

Sunday Offroad Drive
We took the upgraded blackfoot’s out for some off-road fun along the shore.
Its all fun till you loose a dog bone jumping your truck into a post. Luckily we found it and repaired the truck at no cost.
