Hey guys, my name is rob and I’m new to the forum. I just got a second hand 5 last month the 26th. I’m new to 5th scale but raced tenth scale buggies for a while so this is the first build I’ll ever undertake and probably the only one until my son is old enough for his first rc.
The project has been named after my deep fascination with oh simpsons twitter page recently. I’ve logged hours watching his recent video addresses to the “twitter world” and I highly recommend anyone and everyone to check it out.
*Disclaimer besides general automotive understanding my knowledge on this subject is basically nil.*
Vehicles starting point as far as I can tell thus far:
Losi 1.0
Dual push pull steering
Aluminum diff housing
Bartolone tuned pipe
Proline blockades
Walbro 990 carb
Truck came without bumpers cage and body installed and no screws for any of it
First round of upgrades:
Hitec lynx 4 tx w/ proton 4 rx
Dynamite kill switch
Outerwears for shocks, pull start and air filter
Metal internal pull starter (generic brand)
Painted body
