Default Escos first wash and polish in over a year

After getting the cosy back from ava last week i started the running in then took it off the road to fit my R&D box and give it a bit of a clean up underside.

It sounds like a Scalextric car on steroids
Going to take a bit of getting use to the dog box more the down shifts than up.also going to put some more sound deadning round the tunnel aswell.
Got a bit of a vibration from the prop but think its just the center bearing out of line slightly.

Hard to say with it just running in havent got a chance to properly test it but around tow it up changes easily ,just getting use to matching the revs for the down change. Will give you a shot at crail

Thats easy . Then you buy it

Got the vibration sorted this morning and got another 30 miles on it starting to get hang of the box but not tried any clutchless changes yet as got a 4k limit for running in.

Looking good. You must have almost forgotten what it looked like lol

Bet you can't wait to get it mapped properly. Think you'll make Crail okay then?

Alan had siad he advised putting it up the 1/4 mate

no point rushing things now, as the most important thing is getting it all ran inand some power from it and making sure nothing falls off

Thanks again for the comments
Had the car out on sat and did another 50+ miles all ive got to say is dam the box is loud, and gets the car some looks. Going to fit some more sound deadning around the tunnel.
