spend the week end to clean up. The chassis is clean now.
  

hello every one, I am going to work on the wheels and I need some help.

1) the sponge tire is stick on the plastic wheel and very difficult to take it out, any suggestions?
2) the plastic wheel looks pretty bad in shape, is it possible to find a replace for that?

Many thanks!

there are no replacement for that , use thinner to take off the tyre

Use Yokomo wheels?

Thinner to take off sponge tires.

very nic condition chassis wor

It is a really great project

after a hard working july1 public holiday.

How about the belt and shell?  is it still in good shape?  Looking really good!

Can you show some more of the motor mount? That looks very sweet

I think the red motor heat-sink is by GPM or some local HK shops......

Wish I could have one....

finally, took the sponge tire out....

going to buy a set of new tire today or tomorrow~~ (along with the DF03-MS)

attached are some motor mount image.

Now, question is: who has a motor mount like this for sale? I really want one now

If you look into the spec of this car, especially the intruder ex, it is actually very close to our current 2008 buggies. Except there is no slipper clutch, graphite chassis and the batteries are position a bit more laterally than the newer one. In other words, this is almost full spec.

It has aeration shocks just like rc10, nicely machined ball differentials rear and front, belt tension adjuster at the differential, long suspension arms made of solid material, lexam under tray, solid metal motor mount, adjustable rear toe-in, ball bearing steering, universal shafts, center motor mount, very solidly set up suspension mounts, etc..

Looking at the instruction of the car, there is really very little to improve or modify. It is actually hard to find flaw to modify further.

Motor mount may be the only area to improve because it was made of cast alloy, which is a little more brittle than machine aluminium alloy. However, being cast alloy motor mount, it works as a heat sink already, not perfect, but very close from a functional point of view. Also, the quality of the motor mount casting was EXCELLENT!!

If I were Tomy, I would also get bored with 1/10 scale buggies since a close to perfect car has been made...
