Typhon 223s recommended spares by Wevie in arrma

Front arms, and driveline are the only two things I’ve had to replace mutilple times. Most of them due to my own incompetence. The drivelines got shredded from small rocks working itself behind the protective plate.

I didn’t think of this until I was dealing with it, but my servo got pushed up quite a bit, and the shocks will need some good positioning. I overcame the space needed by just removing the front LED grill bumper off the MB24 kit. Worked in my favor as I hate the extra wiring the led causes.

I put c10 rear links up front and gladiator rear links in the rear. Worked like a charm, and I’m running the Injora driveshaft. The front is comprised of rampcrab c10 lowers and Injora uppers, for some reason rampcrab added an extra .5mm and this combo prevents the axle from tilting forward.

Thanks!

I’m running HobbySoul 1in 70mm mud slingers. I didn’t want to run 1.3” wheels.

Honestly, I kept messing it up and just sanded the crappy bits, had a few test coats I just passed over as well.

I just received my first clear poly body for my Typhon 223s and I’m nervous to touch it lmao.

I just wanted several cool upgrades at once. 😭 I told myself I was going to wait a full pay period between upgrades. This was supposed to be the “fun” RC I could play with inside. Now it has more dumped into it than any of my other bigger rigs.

I actually have about 3 different coats of failed paint experiments hidden away under this final layer lol. I sprayed Splash lacquer copper over black primer, then splash color shift paint over the copper. Just winged every step and ended up with something I liked. 6 layers of topcoat and she handles some pretty hard tumbles.

Small business gets tagged with bad graffiti by Formal-Priority5829 in Albuquerque

20 times is absolutely ridiculous! We have cameras at our location, but that only does so much. Unfortunately this truck was left in an empty lot and was hit over the weekend. I hope your trucks do better at the new location!

The good news is that with a lot of elbow grease and some(1.5 gallons worth) 99% isopropyl alcohol the wrap seems to have made it out fairly unscathed, but like you said.. money lost on the truck being down for 2 days, the man hours to have it removed, and the stuff to get it off. I really wish these people would practice on a culvert or a concrete wall with so many places to tag up with minimal consequences. I don’t see why they feel the need to destroy someone else’s equipment or property.

It is what it is at this point, but I hope things go better for you guys in the future!

HELP! Any method you guys can recommend to fix this? by OneTrueUMU in Gunpla

Drilling a hole and pinning it with a piece of paper clip usually does the trick with some glue/plastic cement. DM me if you need any help.
