This will be a great thread to follow until your build is complete. Keep posting pictures and later lots of videos :2guns:

What big bore kit did you get?

 

[voo2doo]

The big bore was a DDM 25.5 with a bit of messing around.
j.

The windows in the piston were taken out by 1.5mm, 75Degs and a bit of Dremeling.There was a bit of fiddling to the ports.Also the intake was roughened and the exhaust was polished.

[voo2doo]

I have just got my new pajero shell today from Badboy (thanks dude) So i might use the FG MT body in pic 2 or the new Shogun shell ...Hmmm....?? ..decisions decisions.
J.

 

[zouz10]

The pajero is gonna look good.
You can use the current shell as a basher and the pajero for the shelf.


Chris

 

[zouz10]

James, is the Pajero shell painted up yet? Just wondering what design you're going with.


Chris

[voo2doo]

Ah,just built the mill ,now its time to do the truck!....,there is a slight problem here.The LSD I bought is about 10mm higher than the diff holders! Fook! I really didnt want diff raisers on this,I need all the ground clearance there is.Any Ideas apart from DREMMELing the chassis? Oops did I just slip a pic of my HPI RS4 tourer in there? with all the carbon and alloy.....naughty.

 

[voo2doo]

No I didnt...but here it is....my baby!...jeeze heres another £200 for a new brushless and ESC,I've got good batteries(LiPo)....Or am I just wasting money?haven't used a 10/th for years! Oh, the magazines in the picture are from RC Car Action. They date back 12 years and are all there(issue wise) Up for grabs.
