Hey guys, took my MO3R out this weekend for a bit of fun... and unfortuantly ended up breaking the top off one of the blue shocks

TBH, I don't care much for plastic shocks, I've had endless problems with trying to get them apart to change the settings. The tops are just incredibly stiff, and mean I have had to use two sets of pliers to get them undone... not good. IMO, TRF shocks, whilst a little more expensive, are certainly the best way to go... if only from a maintence point of view if not on track performance.

Still breaking the shock gave me an excuse to finally fit my spare set of TRF's from my tourer to my mini, and I realised in that in fact they really aren't that much longer overall in comparison to the mini CVA's anyway. The body may be longer, but the top is shorter, so overall length is very similar.

Also took the opportunity to mount my electronics in the chassis, managed to fit the Tamiya ESC into the rear halves, and my KO 302 reciever into the front part, right behind the chassis. Set it up so that to change the crystal all I have to do is undo the 4 screws holding the front and rear together. I'll post some pics later if anyone is interested.

Looking forward to getting the Mini back on track this weekend... was a massive improvement last time out, and I've made some more changes, so itching to try it again... almost tempted to run it in the 27t class against the 4wd's to just see how it goes

Regards
Ed
