Thunder Tiger ST1

This is the New (Second Hand) Addition to the Fold

It a Thunder Tiger ST1
comes with the 28 Pro, 4.6 Engine in, so has more than enough power to be fun

It Came in a Right state really though
so I had to work a little magic, an had a lot of cleaning to do

It Needed a One way Bearing on the pull start fixing
It Was missing the rear silicon exhaust gasket
It Had several rounded or missing screws (2 on the engine mounts were rounded, one was sheared off on the radio tray, grub missing from the exhaust tip)
The front end was built TOTALLY wrong, to the point it was even strange they managed to get it so wrong
(Both lower arms were backwards, an upside down
the uppers were the wrong way round
the shocks were the wrong side of the shock tower
An the hubs were on the wrong sides, left was right, right was left )
The Fuel tank has a small leak
All 4 wheels need the tyres gluing in Various places
It needed a new switch for the Receiver box

But baring the Fuel tank, its all now done/cleaned/replaced, An TMed up

So here it is ready for the Next TM Bash, an some Air time

If I can remember how to hit a ramp
































These are some Before cleaning pictures, an the rather 'ODD' front end










An YES
I know it's Another 'DIRTY STINKING NITRO' back into my Collection

Looking great that bud, proper job

Can't you heat seal the tank?

Came out Well really
Few niggles along the way, but nothing major, so it turned out really good

I Might be able to, as its only a very small crack, an right on the join line to the top an bottom halves
But it also has a cracked mount, so I may as well just grab a new one, an start a fresh with it

Depends how Tight I feel
May Bodge it yet

Has to have a bodge on it :-)

Now that would drive me mad
An you know it

No it woulldn't, you woulld't even be able to see it lol

At least you'd be able to run it and get it tuned
