Started cleaning prep and undercoating the wheels today while I'm waiting for other parts to arrive £

as they came


media blasted


2 coats of undercoat both sides

Today was cleaning day Started with my workshop then the front garage and after that moved on to some rc parts Selected all the gearbox parts for the Super Sabre, then between hand cleaning the metal and using the ultrasonic cleaner on the rest It's almost like having brand new I also picked the chassis to use which was easy as it is in such great condition

I'm still waiting for my new bumper and the Red parts tree to arrive (hopefully this week )
I had been searching for a searching for a set of Red cva's and had only been able to find an ebay seller with new parts to build a set, and although they agreed to a discount they would have cost AUD$110 delivered Fortunately I came across another seller with a good used set plus a ton of other Super Sabre / Boomerang and Hot Shot parts and we made a deal for the same money

My red parts did arrive today I rebuilt the rear gear box and could help myself, I bolted it to the chassis and the battery stays too Tomorrow I'll rebuild the front gear box, Still waiting on some bits but she's starting to resemble a SS now

Front gearbox rebuilt and fitted sway bar cleaned and fitted top front swing arms rebuilt and fitted Now I really need some parts to arrive

Great builds mate, it good to see old RC's given a second chance.

Classic Sure thing, I'm finishing my garden beds in the back yard this weekend so that I can set up my temp race track for the backyard champs with these beauties

Nothing to exciting tonight Added the front hub carriers and the rear bumpers and the battery door Needed to make a locking pin for the door so I found a length of sprue long enough, trimmed and shaped now she's a bute Last bit for tonight I started trimming the body

My parts arrived I stripped the shocks and put them through 3 cycles in the ultrasonic tank, They have come up great just ran out of time/energy to rebuild them Assembled the front and rear arms also the drives
