Fully stripped, cleaned, greased, new rubber sealed bearings through-out. Brand new electrics through-out: Acoms servo and receiver, Mtroniks 20ESC, HPI 20turn motor. Body changed for a better condition one found on fleecebay for cheap. Also salvaged front shock towers with a fix that lasts. Added decals, painted wheels black and put a couple of exhausts on the back, job done!


Taken this one out for a run already and its fast! Have had to buy another ESC since though as the first one overheated and nearly melted a hole in the chassis, couldn't believe how much smoke came pouring out from under the shell. Have also cut out the front window screen to help air flow and have put new ESC on the back shelf behind drivers head.



Cheers

@MAD-BEE: It donuts like a dream and kicks up roosters lovely. @Klausen: Sorry but I have no idea about the tyres as theres no writing on them, I got them with another Falcon I bought a while back. @AndyjcClod: I love the aggressive look, though its difficult to achieve with so much yellow. Cheers all

@MAD-BEE: To be honset I could do with some alternative tyres on the back as these ones are getting low on tread. I got spares for just about any eventuallity apart from some good rears. I got spare rear part-worn Falcon tyres but theres got to be something out there with more grip.
