Always

I cut my flaps on all my cars out of thin plastic angle cut down to desired size, I either screw them to the A-arm if their are any screw holes already in the arm. If their are no screw holes I cable/zip tie them to the A-arm with 2 or 3 cable ties. Dead simple & cheap to do, one of the best mods you can do in my opinion.

VANTAGE FLAPS NOW!!!! Apparently the Zorro front bumper fits the Vantage perfectly. Could you try it out on a video perhaps? It'd be interesting to see if it's a worthwhile "upgrade" to do for when it's out bashing

Dude the cars aside, that grass track and using the lines to form it is a super cool idea! Love me some dirt action but grass is fun too! That has to be cheaper to build than dirt?

What's your go to buggy tyre for grass? I've tried the stock vantage tyres, tamiya square pin and the old oval blocks which work pretty good. Most of my race tyres are for dirt and are terrible so was thinking a carpet tyre might be a good option. Love the channel, keep up the good content! Thanks

Still experimenting with tyre have not got a go to as yet … On short grass the stock vantage pin tyres do ok. Once they start to wear and you lose the pins they go off quite quickly

I also had an issue with the motor not running on my Zorro. I contacted the retailer and sent them the motor & ESC. They posted the motor and a replacement ESC back within a week. FTX claim that the electrics are waterproof, but I do suspect it was water damage, so I no longer risk rinsing it off after a run.

It seems to be the bell crank on the zorro that break the now and metal up grade is out of stock everywhere... keep up the great videos cheers mate
