nice.

nice craig
some people like alloy alone and more like anodised.
me myself would rather alloy,don't like anodised.

ts engines are class looking arnt they.
where can they be got,any links to websites?
i presume ts standing for trevor simpson engine?

im at somthing similar to yours there on my own rebuild with the complete elcon setup(drivetrain and helical gears).just put in my 27.2race ported kit,loads more ££ parts on the way next week and polishing the living s##t outa it.

check it out(fg beetle rebuild)

looks like you have a lot of work ahead there,enjoy.

Hi bud i will check your build thread out, the TS engine (trevor simpson) i got from DDM, costs a pretty penny :dots:

Yours should be good, but i would personlly STRONLY sujest the elcon drivetrain, evertything is a fixed mesh so no worry about stripping gears at all
 
cheers man.
man that ts engine is just gorgeous.

i would love to get it eventually just have few other bits in mind for now.

i have an on road car coming next week for valentines( compliments of the girlfriend lol) its a carson 1/5th going to upgrade that going to start a new thread here for the carson too.

elcon cleon coming in may for my birthday too i was told lol.cant wait...i must have done something right for my girlfriend in a previous life lol

ahh im hooked on rc 1/5th scales.love them.

have load of parts coming tomorrow for my fg,alloy shocks,new chassis,new hydro brakes,new spectrum transmittor...loads more,if you check out my thread during the week you will see them.

my rebuild wont stop any time soon,may even get the elcon system for it too...also am getting a noz kit,stay tuned lol, seriously love a nos kit....

Hi mate it all sunds good bar one thing...nitrous..just don't bother the only one i would touch is the NX WET kit, as it injects fuel at the same time so you don't lean seeze your engine.
