 cheers mate . the lights r run off another 9volt battery

and it,s all attached to the shell .. it,s going to be long project for me as i,ve got alot on the now

so the shell will have to wait for a bit .we were in a wooded area so he realy couldn,t go at it .

i,ll try and get a few vids in the next few weeks

Status: offline 		you got pm

i would order online and then just phone them,hobbythek do a 3 day delevery if you order before 2 0 clock any day,after that shipping isnt until following day again before 2....

they are top notch man and you will have them fast,

it will be a great upgrade for your machine,you have pretty everything else sorted.....

the rear hubs are very strong in plastic man,they are well supported both above and under them with the a-arms.

one thing i would pay SERIOUS attention tho man to is your wheels,the rims on them are a major week point,i think you should look out for a good set of fg rims on e-bay......

the rims round after some hard running causing you to just sit motionless revving out.......because of the axle on the rear rim spinning in the rounded rim.

a well known week spot on these models.

Status: offline 		As soon as your strenghten something, you find the next weakest link! I bought my Comanche from an eBay seller for AU$600, AU$1595RRP with AU$800 of upgrades. Within the first 10 minutes I had rolled it twice and  thought to myself "That's gotta have broken something.";then placed it at full speed, 80km/h claimed, into a tree and pulled the tie rod out of the front lower wish bone. That says a lot about the Carson, FG,Smartech and now River Hobby quailty in RTR. That's why SHENGPOO are 23cc de-tuned from the sweat shop factory they are made in. Even a stockie CY23 would strip SHENGPOO pinion.
