So I picked one of these up over the weekend in a trade. Quite the fun looking little bastard. It isn't too small, yet it isn't too big.
Besides the usual TLC of getting all of the nitro crap off the chassis and stripping it of it's unneeded counterparts, I was thinking this would be quite the basher.
So up next is a few necessities, a new a-arm and shock cap that need replacing. Then I will go with the RCM conversion kit for sure to get this thing headed in the right direction.
I have yet to decide on the power I want to run in this guy. It seems light enough for a Castle 2650 on 3s, but I see most here have went with more. Maybe a Hobbywing 150a and a castle 2200 on 4s?
The body was also pretty tattered, is there a replacement out there, I am thinking the Rustler shells may be a viable transplant, or something for the Jato.
Anyways I am excited to finish this guy. I never took to smaller things that well, but this guy is just about the right size, and looks to be a key performer in terms of handling and airtime. Last small guy was the mini-revo and I was not impressed with its handing or durability, unless heavily modified.
This guy looks like he may become my take everywhere with me RC.
