The TVP'S I've had when they first came out from Hot Bodies. The aluminum shocks bodies are from a friend of mine, not sure what the brand is, but the springs are from VG Racing, off Ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/391885196038?hash=item5b3e2d8b06:g:bVMAAMXQdm5Q9hf2) . The engine is a Force .28 .Nice set up how long have you had those TVPs?
What make are your shocks haven’t seen those before?
I didn't like the look of the black head, so I sanded the sides and left the top black. So far, it's been a great runner.Okay great, how are you finding the Force mill thought your side of pond it came with a different cooling head then Europe supply?
Nice, are the fuel tank the same on the earlier .21? I want to get rid of the push primer.I have a set of these TVPs on one of my trucks, It's a Truckzilla Sport running a K4.6HO View attachment 10907View attachment 10908
I used a vibrating sander, started with 150 to 1500 emery cloth. I took the head off when I did it. I really don't know on the heat difference. I just hated the look. But you got me curios.Thanks that looks a lot better stripped back, what grit grade did you use on the top or did you use some paint stripper?
Have you found it effected temperature of mill in anyway though?
Yes they done away with primer years back as found it could cause air leaks I believe!
Yes the fuel tanks are completely interchangeable, If you want to change from the primer type to the non-primer one tho try to pick up an old stock model. The new ones now are really poor quality and crack easy. The older ones are more of an Opaque colour with the newer ones being almost clear. The older ones also have ribs in the moulding in the lower part of the tank which the new one doesn'tNice, are the fuel tank the same on the earlier .21? I want to get rid of the push primer.

Yet another sign of HPI going for the cheaper option on their parts..

Yer did check everything and can't try rebinding as can't get them to power on.That’s annoying with receivers, take it you have checked plugs/connectors & rebinding it strange?
Blimey it’s got dirty, to blooming cold to tempt me outside still!
So, since we're talking about it I still have old school, receiver's and radios in my trucks and boat. What is a good radio and receiver, that won't break the bank!! I'm so old school, I switch out crystalsThat’s annoying with receivers, take it you have checked plugs/connectors & rebinding it strange?

Well I am using a FlySky GT3b radio, I think it's a good budget set. It has 10 memory setting so great if you have more than one truck like me. Some people slate them but have found them ok if you don't want to spend silly money. The receivers are cheap to at under £10 each. Think I paid £38.99 for my set up early last year, came with 2 receiver and have since added 8 more.So, since we're talking about it I still have old school, receiver's and radios in my trucks and boat.
