If you did get your better half a truck i would look into getter her a a flatbed trailer then a forklift truck then she can drive the truck around and when she is finished driving or is parked up you could load the trailer for her

stoodleyr

There's my beast warts and all ,still running all basic old gear really just replacing the broken bits with eBay cheapys

stoodleyr

Sorry I missed your links as I phase in and out of various hobbies , just can't make my mind up ,many thanks for thinking of me though x

dust75

That's a good looking car/truck

dust75

are they kyosho tires you have on the bycmo wheels ??

stoodleyr

Yeah they work quite well but you have to glue them or the bead pops off now and then . I have to say for running in the street where I live this car is so much fun as I can't exactly run my nitros

dust75

Yeah i know what you mean about the tyres that's why I have lots of different wheels and tyres for my bycmo I was running foam tyres on my bycmo for a while

stoodleyr

Just tried it with a Lipo , seems to make the throttle response much quicker ,might have to invest in an esc

dust75

Would love to see a video of it on lipos (steroids lol)

Ok so just had to register to throw out a massive thanks to everyone here!! My bymco has been sitting in the shed for 7 years with a stripped diff. Thanks to this thread (that took most of the day to read) im heading home to dust and clean the beast and lock the diff.. providing i can find the charger im hoping to have it running by the end of the week.

Its a bit of a mish mash and the shell has been misplaced but im hoping to canabalise another cheap unit for some form of cover

Thanks heaps as if it was not for this post it would still be hiding in a cupboard

dust75

Hi lurch
Glad to here your going to have a go at reviving your bycmo and glad to hear that this thread has managed to help you out

Lurch2503

Couldnt find the charger and i think the battery is kaput but i managed to grab a new nimh batt and a charger today.. was doing some seriously random things when i hooked it up... whent haywire as soon as i connected the battery.... thats when i remembered installing the on off faceplate backwards all those years ago hahaha had it roaring on the workbench and everything seems to be functioning a1!! Will be hitting the station carpark early tommorrow morning on the way to work

Still minus one body and struggling to justify spending $80 AUD on a new one... have started modifying a body pulled of a 1/10 porsche factory built toy just need to extend or replace the body posts

Will post some pics when i have it done

dust75

Looking forward to any photos or videos

Lurch2503

Photos so far, missing the Foam bumper and the whole thing is getting stripped down and cleaned on Sunday arvo, the body is an old school Porsche Carerra that i pilfered from a 'Toy' factory sealed RC. doing the last of the mod work for it to fit tonight

Had it out for a run this morning which went well until i found out that i had forgotten to tighten the pinion gear LOL almost lost it completely

dust75

Good to hear all went well ish this morning lol
Did the Porsche shell have lights in it before??

Lurch2503

Not actual lights just fake ones. I have finished a strip and respray of the shell just gotta reassmble it. Also seems as though the grub screw on the pinion is threaded (stripped) as it just spins and wont tighten. Any chance a non bycmo replacement would work? Shipping plus the excgange rate makes ordering from australia quit expensive...
Below is the respreyed body.

WOW that's so much better
Is there anyway you could pack the thread out so the grub screw bites on the packing then it might tighten better

Lurch2503

i had a brain wave this morning on the train similar theory but instead of worrying about packing out the tiny thread im contemplating using a coating of clear nail polish on the motor shaft, that way it should ever so slightly increase the diameter and lock tight, then if i need to change it i can just dab on a little acetone.

will give it a crack after christmas

dust75

Good idea have to let me know how you get on
And have a merry Christmas
