Hello All at RCU,
About 3 months ago Ipicked myself up a second hand Cen FunFactor MT2 with a seized engine for 50euros.After a full teardown, some wd40 and a new glow plug it started right up.
Iv replaced the oem radio gear with a cheap 2.4ghz set by saturn and iv been having endless fun with it ever since. Im not the type of guy who takes things easy so iv been driving it like its robbed. Ivswaped outthe rear dogbones witha set of thefront swing shafts, added the extra wheel bearings, steering rack bearings, built a stainless steel roll cage/body brace, added lights to the shell (gets dark early in Ireland) and just for personal taste, sprayed the allpurple alu matt black.Im addicted! i drive it at least 3-5 times a week and wake up every morning looking forward to the smell of burnt nitro. Iv had some crashes and broken a few things but am very impressed with the pounding these little trucks can take.
For 50 euros i think i got a cheap ticket into the world ofnitro rc and theres no turning back.Im sure i willbe looking for advice at some point andRCU is the place to get it so until then
wishme luck and trouble free bashing.
