Default RE: Nutech Thunderbolt II - Out of the box pics.

Good news bad news...

I couldn't find a cameraman for today, and unfortunately, I've run out of time before my trip to England. I'm only going to be there for one week, but you'll all have to wait til next weekend now for the completion of the review and the videos.

I did run it for 10 minutes outside the house today, and the good news is that it appears to run as good as it looks. Had no problems at all with the engine, I even risked 6 month old fuel, and it was fine. It has MUCH more power than the old TB1, and I haven't even tuned it yet. Also the thick grease in the diffs (grease from factory, but they will hold proper oil) works really well, and the car drives and steers nicely.

The review is finished in terms of text and photos. All that remains is a final paragraph after I run it, the action shots, and the video. Sorry for the delay folks, I'll finish it and get it posted as soon as humanly possible.

So yeh, I'm going to England tomorrow, but I should still be able to get online fairly regularly.
