Get Beemerboy to do it for you as he offered.

He'll do a good job of it.

I would advise taking your time and building it yourself. The instructions are very detailed. This way when you prang/wreck it (which you will) you will know just what parts are missing/bent/broke and can then repair it np. Just think of it as advanced lego

Aaron,
its really easy m8, just take ur time, i built one years ago, Tamiya Big foot, took me about a week doing a couple of hrs a night, but on my test drive i smashed it against the kerb wrecking the plastic shell,they were then £15 each so go steady.

im only free in the day m8 as i work nights but will help u if i can.

Greetings Nitroheads,

i would be delighted to build aaron's car FOC, but for the postage costs he would incur!!
i already talkied him into "stretching" the old budget

the offer stands anytime aaron, even if you have a go a **** it up, its not the end of the world, and can always be sorted out.

bling u soft tw@t build it yourself, for ***** sake - if you dont have the techincal ability to build it ( its not hard )then you will be absoluteley useless when you come to fix/maintain it - tuning & repairing is twice as difficult as building - the manual only covers the build remember - Jye's advice above is sound - you should listen to it.

Daz / anyone else - do him a favour and refuse to build it for him - for his own good.

I must admit I bought "2 ready to runs" (Thunder Tiger TS4N and a Traxxas T-maxx) because I thought I wouldnt be able to build one.

I reckon now with the crashes and upgrading of bits I have probably built the equivalent of half a dozen cars
The Thunder tiger has been totally stripped down and re-built with Carbon fiber bits and peices etc.
Have fun and watch out for thoughs kerbs

well thanks for all your sympathy...............................
oh, i got none! just people telling me to build it myself, and i dont remember putting up a post saying please tell me to build my own car, it was a request for help, not anything else....

i have enough trouble making my bed let alone a (as the box said HIGHLY ASSEMBLED) million part rc car. the shocks and steering have more parts than a real car....maybe!

i`d of got more sympathy/offers of help if a pet had died, which seems to get lots of response from well wishers.

thanks for nuttin!
