Adjustables drive shaft 5.60€
Ball bearing set 5.92€
Tramiya Drive cup 7.50€

Starting point:






But a problem remains: Why is this frame so wide? It's ridiculous!

Let's think, the challenge is to produce a low cost runner...
So I started by cutting front arms until flush the first hole.





To fit front dampers, I realized two small screws Withs two different thread : M4 & M3

Hi Stingray, paint on Holiday's shell is impossible... because of polyethylene. But however it will be "box art". ;)

And what about the rear axle? Same treatment! Easy!

Two front arms and the same modification except the lower fixation point for the damper.
(As you can see the frame isn't new.)





I modified two originals upper arm.


And I installed 2 adjustables drive shaft.

The original pilot seemed angry... So I fired him and hired a Sand Scorcher driver
found in my scrapyard... :laugh: (He looks like Sebastien Loeb, No?)






That's all Folks! Now I'm working on an old FAV. See you later!
