Hey Jason, very nice
 Have you worked out how you're going to paint the body? I think the brat has one of the best looking bodies on an off-roader. I saw an excellent black one on the rc-off site. What's the story with the alligator clip on the back wing?

Its good to see that these cars are still around and yours looks brilliant BRAT.Im still learning about these cars and I appreciate you showing pics of your cars.As for the alligator clip on the rear wing,I wnted to see how a different wider rear wing would look so I temporarily borrowed one from my Losi.Currently having the Brat body and wing repro'd so I will work out a paint scheme when they arrive back with me.I dont suppose you guys have a spare belt I could buy that will fit the BRAT build up from the Sprint? I have 4 spares but they seem too short.

Jason I sent you an email.
Yes I am running a 501, but have only had a couple of practice runs so far. Still running the stock setup except for the front one-way. As for tyres most guys up here run: Front: taper Pins, Holeshots, Blockheads Rear: Taper Pins, Holeshots, x-2000's Buying tyres locally is a pain - too little stock and too expensive. I'm trying to organise some o/s but getting 4wd fronts is quite difficult. As I mentioned in my email, the Qld titles are in June at Ipswich, I'm planning on running the 501, just need a buggy for 2wd now. Apparently, due to water restrictions, their track is now a mixture of hard packed clay and astro turf - so I'm not sure what tyres will work there - sounds good though

Brat, your buggy brings me back some very old memory of that good ol' Nikko buggy.

Hello Brat,the belt I need has 288MXL4.8 on it.I have 4 of the 280's myself.Thankyou for looking for me.I have a good friend here in Australia who is looking to covert his SPRINT into a BRAT,he can make the chassis plate himself but needs the yellow shock mounts etc...I dont suppose you have anything like this spare?

As for the belt, have you thought of using other make's? Any chance of finding similar ones? Like Tamiya's etc?

I thankyou for your suggestions,I'll pass them on to my friend and see what he can do.Do you think you might be able to get some pics of your catalogue with the BRAT pictures up on this thread?As for the longer belt,I will try local supliers of belts to see if I can obtain one here.Thankyou again-Jason.
