Stratos looks great, be good with modern electronics in. I’d have donated a WPL control board (fully proportional combi esc and receiver but you look like your sorted) I’ve been playing with the Merc SK heavy. Less than 2 weeks to the RC Trucks national gathering 😬

Knowledge is to know a Tomato is a 'fruit' - Wisdom, on the other hand, is knowing not to put it in a 'fruit salad'!

The Lambo is here.... Totally gutted it! Poncy 'Nail buffer' motor is skipped and a Fat Boy [brushed] is lined up.. Dremel will nuke all unnecessary chassis plastic webs/pillars. So, It Begins 😎🔧⚙️ ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/ovimor/8ce029cfd585.jpg) OVIMOR

Gearbox done.... Fiddly job 😵💫. I created an 'L' bracket, to carry the required idler. The fat drive motor cannot mesh with the primary diff gear so I needed to insert an 'idler' 🙄. That all done (freehand with my drill) the fat motor is held in 'compression' against the high density foam and zip ties are holding the correct mesh ⚙️✔️. It runs very sweetly... Steering >> tomorrow 😎 ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/ovimor/4f037467f0dc.jpg) OVIMOR

ovimor interesting to see the rear wheels are on a hex, what size hex is it? Be interesting to know to see if these could be a good wheel donor for WPL/Bruder conversions..

6mm is the Hex size, M8 Rear floor is all cut away = Txl now closer to floor/underbody clearance much better! Bits of plakkie glued on, to hold tx firm... Hot glue action will seal the deal. Steering jiggery-pokery to do now 😎 ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/ovimor/4737760170f8.jpg) ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/ovimor/1fa6c334421b.jpg) OVIMOR
