Nuts and bolts cleanup of my buggy

[The_Jackal]

This is my 1/8 Thunder Tiger EB4 S3 buggy in mid clean. Its not been touched since its last race about 7 months ago. Will be fitting 2.4Ghz radio equipment. Very impressed with the build quality (I bought it pre built by a pro and setup for £100). I will be changing to a smaller flywheel and replacing the rear springs. The diffs have remained airtight and silky smooth. Both shock supports will be pro items and I am trying to source pro centre diff mounts to give the throttle linkage more clearance. I'll post a pic when it is all back together and shiny lol

Nice job.
The S3 is supposed to be a very good chassis by all accounts, well up there with the more expensive Hyper's etc..
Friend has an S2 model for bashing and apart from a dodgy engine is a lot of fun to drive.

Yeah by all accounts the S3 is still winning champ[ionship races. I love it.

I recently bought the EB4 S2 Pro and must admit its a great peice of kit. After running the engine in, was blasting over the fields hitting jumps, rolling the cars etc and it kept on going completely hassle free.

Done this with other cars and had problems like lose heat sink etc.

Only thing that happened is that i put my Duratrax Axis wheels on, when putting the wheel nuts on i thought there was must thread, forgot about that when i started tunning and lost a wheel nut
