Just saw the post. Yes it gets up and goes....I was contemplating putting Thorp ball diff in mine. Got a few spare so might give it a go next weekend. I still prefer my RC10 Graphite over the Fox for handling though. The Fox just has fantastic stage presence!

Cheers

Default Deburring of vintage off road wheels

Hi, I have some old kyosho ultima wheels that have 'plastic burring' around the edges.

Anyone know any secrets for tidying this effect up?

I just use a sheet of 240 grit paper or scrape a stanley knife blade over them (with blade edge away from you, but drag it backwards towards you) over the wheel.

Came up with an idea on how to fit a better looking wing onto the NovaFox.
Used some servo horns for height and push the wing back from the body a bit. Doesnt look too bad. The wing is from TBG (Kyosho / Javelin). Thanks to MADRACER where he got it from.









Cheers

That's a little bit of genius mate. Might do a similar thing myself.... are the servo horns also glued into place to prevent them from rotating under impact?

No - i dont expect to be crashing too often (touch wood) with this :P. They have the normal fine threaded screws and flanged nuts and washer under there.

Thanks man
