[dwarfy]

They both look good What is the problem with the beetle??

 

[maudsley]

where shall i start ha ha. everytime i take it out it breaks. first shocks, so bought GPM ones from hobbytek in germany with a alloy rear tower. then the a-arms ripped the turnbuckle threads out on rear and then it saved the best till last this sunday at deeside!!! it started performing really bad and there was a binding in the drivetrain somewhere. upon stripping down, in the front diff housing there is the diff, small toothed pulley and a belt tensioner pulley. the tension pully has got hot and melted itself around the bearing and melted the large diff housing where the bearings sit and fiddlesticked the whole thing up. so i need n alloy front diff housing now but they are 240 quid from hobbytek. gutted..................

Sounds like an unusual failure of the 4WD belt tensioner - not heard mention of that anywhere else.
Can't have too much fun, so that's not an excuse !! :lol:

Another casualty for the Deeside book.

That Baja looks awesome mate, will it be visiting Deeside sometime in the near future.
Nice job on the Chassis Brace, defo worth having. You'll make a few bob if you can make more as i'm sure some of the ours would be interested in one.
