Stan's car was a std car at the F3's! So just order the kit & spare whishbones, shock towers, rear pivot plate, rear pivot support, hubs & gear box case. That should do for spares then you just need springs & pistons.
Theres some good setups on here if you look around. as for the brass bulkhead they were made by PW so you would have to ask him! not many people had them.

Yeah just a groveling letter to the customs officers not to sting you too hard on a parcel that big.

So much for supporting your local hobby stores, which you claim to do.

Yea but it will be sent to doms house and dom wont be there to send it to me so it may be sitting in doms house or it could have been delivered there and there was knowone to collect it. Dont mind waiting really just wish i had it now i dont like running a car for the first time at a meeting i did that with my xx4 and i didnt finish hardly any runs.

If running brushless YOU WILL NEED TO RUN THE 82 OR 86 I prefer the 82,but thats just my opion. As far brushed cant help. I live in america so cant really help you with setup but I run on large 1/8 track rutted and bumpy and loomy. As far as the diffs,I have never had a problem with mine I also run novak 4.5 and 5000mal lipo. I rebuild my diff about every 3 months or big race. My car also run for about 20 to 30 min on a pack. So diff gets heavily abused. You guy run alot different tracks then we run on but I use factory driver Jesse Robbers setup with a couple of little changes and works pretty good,cant say for high bite,we dont have any tracks around here that are.But if you like a link can send you a good one.

Ill be running old school brsuhed with 2wd dont relaly need the extra power as for setup ive had some help off someone with that its a little interesting though.

[ashleyb4]

Righty then hello all

Ive got h car and ive built it havent really looks at setup yet but mainly i want to know what gearing i should be running a 7.5 orion vortex on a 86 spur.

ive got soem nortec blue bling and im using the silky smooth nortec whities in th shocks.

The only problem i came across in the build was a small clicking in the gear box but that has gone now since ive put it all together and trying ot get the gear box in place. Other than that it was ace to build relaly enjoyed it.

Wouldlove to put some pictures up but dont have a camera.

Love this car even more than i thought i would almost love it more thanthe xx4 its so cute as it only seems small and the steering is so smooth and the diff and gear box i love it.

One question meant to ask

On the pin that goes though the caster block and the steering knuckle are they meant to be longer than needed as there like 2mm longer than needed ????

Don't worry, thats normal.

[ashleyb4]

gdgd its all sorta setup a few things to do in the morning ive tried to get the high rear ball stud as high as possilbe but now it catches on the wheel when the wishbones are above level. So need to change that.

only on thing im worried about is the weight as ive been told to use lead putty in the bulkhead but havent got round to gettign any so ive put 10gramms below the servo horn as far worward as possilbe. Still not sure of the diff may have to ask someone about that.
