Great fix. Steers and slides around nicely. Spied a few RC in the background 🧐. Must stay tuned to learn more. Have a great weekend.
Yes we have more indoor action in the next few weeks so stay tuned 👍
Oh yeah that's much better. I must do this as I've got all those bits. Did a similar thing with the 3mm threaded bar on my Hornet. That hall looks like a useful RC test area for drifting. Great stuff guys 👍
The steering on the brat was so disappointing but works so much better now. Further tests will be done, might even brave the outside again at some point 🤣😂👍
We really enjoyed the video, very much looking forward to similar nonsense too! Cheers mates
Glad you enjoyed it, and the nonsense well is in no danger of running dry here! 👍😂
I’ll have to remember this for when i get one 😁
Yes keep this idea tucked away as I’m sure it will prove useful 👍
I did a bunch of mods to my Blackfoot 30 years ago. A 48 pitch conversion before Robinson racing released theirs .
Sounds like a great job, we had to get rid of our Blackfoot as it was more mod than Blackfoot 🤣😂👍
Good job!
It handles so much better now, worth the time to do it 👍
Terrific and practical mod!
It’s a great job, and it cost so little to do, might try this with a few of the vehicles 🤔👍
Looks like a great fix! Handsome little machine and a fun looking spot!
Hopefully it will now live to its potential, and give me the motivation to finish the hard body 👍
Those steering links probably aren't good with the bigger tyres the Brat had, but they were fine on the Frog, which ran the narrow Smoothe ribbed tyres. I have a Frog I got in 1984 and it's still on its original steering links. Not bent them yet.
You are right the tires are bruisers in comparison, and when it’s rough they dig in the ground. Good to know the Frog is still in action 👍
15 minutes of sun in England???
Wahey, things are looking up for us guys!!
We actually had a whole day without ANY rain on Wednesday..... not 1 drop!!! 😂
Great work chief...... It's usually the rear end of the ORV platforms that have the most issues.
But, those track rods and ends are proper stone age, absolutely no different from when the original first came out way back in the day.
But you are definitely right, I had those exact same components on my original pumpkin back in 88.....they were forever bending and popping off!
Interestingly, when I was building a re re CWO1 the other week I noticed that they had changed the track rod bars and fixtures to a more modern and chunkier design.
Makes you wonder why they didn't do the same on the Brat re re? 🤔
Liking the rear body mount upgrades, very effective..... I built some new ones out of meccano for my monster beetle as they were forever breaking.
She does look great with that nice golden body though..... interesting location..... at least it's dry in there! 😂
👍 👍 👍
I bloody love Meccano as a kid, god knows where it all went, the modern stuff is awful and plastic, proper metal meccano is where you learned the importance of washers I found.
I’ve heard it’s going to be a wet Easter so that’s my painting plans out the window, but I might actually get on with building the CC02 🤣😂👍
@@RCsoandso
Plastic Meccano? 🙄
Really?? 🤔 That's as bad as alcohol free beer, or caffeine free coffee!
More plastic rubbish for landfill sites!
I bet the kids of today won't be repairing and building upgrades for their RC cars with their childhood meccano sets in 40 years time like I am!
And yep, we all learnt how important washers were from an early age with these kits mate.
Yep, unfortunately I think we have rain forecasted for the next ten days, a wet Easter..... surprise suprise!
I think your building plan is more realistic than the painting one.
I sprayed project tube box metallic green in the house this week.....
Not a good idea, have me a stonking headache, metallic green bogeys, and all my downstairs skirting boards now have a slightly glittery green sparkle! ❇ 😂
Oh well, it can only get better right?
👍 👍 👍
I don’t think kids in the future could fix much with their VR headsets, they will just be baffled why waving their hands around something doesn’t magically fix something!
I’m not sure who it is but I’ve seen a TH-cam video, someone painting a Mercedes on the cc01 and he spray paints a shoe also, saying he didn’t see it!
Yes tze old links're a pain in... Really good idea to change them.
Sorry to destroy your hopes, but rain'll return😢
It’s going to be a wet Easter it seems, but building can occur 👍
@@RCsoandso tomorrow moring's a little bit hope before tempertures should drop again.
I'm going to have to do this to my Frog. The old ball ends are just pressed in, right?
Yes they just sit in the cup, but a bigger ball and cup makes it much more robust 👍
al that work,but......
why since you're putting this labour in it why not position the steering servo in the midle and have arms equal in lenght??
I see your point, maybe it could be done in the future but with the thicker rods it is by far night and day
Who makes the tie rod ends are using? And how much are they in dollars?
They are just spare ones from other Tamiya kits. I think you can buy them extra if needed and they would be like $5 max 👍
@@RCsoandso from what kits?
Nice fix on the steering. Those should hold up better than the light wires it had up there prior! Interesting new spot where you are running, you should have put the drift tires on it LOL!!
It’s so much better now and feels much more solid to drive, finally have some confidence with it. You never know when it comes to drifting 😉😂👍
@@RCsoandso Hey you leave your hatred of drifting out of this! 😅🤣
I don’t hate drifting, just have no skill in doing it 🤔👍
@@RCsoandso It's all in the gyro and having a drift servo
There's a hardbody for the Brat? I don't believe it!
I think it comes in the kit with the lexan body.
It will be ready this year, I promise!
I have my lexan body somewhere in storage. Don't care. Just running the hard body when I run the Brat every once in a blue moon.
The hard body will be looked at soon 🙄
Just to let you know, 'th' is not 'f'.
So 3 is 'three' not "free", 'think' is not "fink" etc !
So hard to watch when the English language is being trashed!
What do you think of the Mod though? 🤔
