Started on the rebuild at 7:00 last night.
At 2:30 this was the result. Still have a few things to do and replace, as I found a few more parts that need to be replaced during the rebuild. :/
I need to order.
- Some steel hollow balls, as the plastic ones suck.
- Aluminum turnbuckles and tie rods again the stock plastic ones suck.
- New rear bulkhead the screw holes for mounting the rear shock tower and rear bumper are completely stripped out, I tried to repair them with some ca glue but it didn't work right.
- Random screws to replace ones that got lost or were missing.
- New front bumper as I lost mine today, was about 15 min into my bash session before I realized it was gone
Also bought some new tires for the Mini Ruckus. ~$10 shipped from China. This thing is pretty quick with the new brushless setup on a 1800mah 25c 3S lipo, haven't clocked it yet but I am guessing about 30-35 mph. I only have one pack through the tires since I put them on and they grip the road a lot better than the stock tires. The rims are kind of crappy, I wasn't expecting much for $10, the chrome is starting to peel off the rim where I glued one of the tires, so I glued it back down and we'll see how it goes.
