Hiya Pete - great video mate, you sure gave the cover a thorough testing in the grass, dirt and gravel! The simplest solutions are usually the best, as in this case. Great that it's so easy to fit, too - and I guess you could swap one cover between a few chassis with just a little extra Velcro! Hope your weekend has started well, looks like the weather is going to hold for us - ideal for RCing and a few outdoor ales! Have a couple for me, mate! :O)

Hiya matey. I was actually planning to do another trip to somewhere with mowed grass like the golf course as that was always a problem for this car. Didn't have time and I think I proved that it works. I'm not sure how long Kamtec have been doing these but it's something I've been after for ages. Anyway, we have a family do later as it's my sister's birthday. A few drinks will get drunk for sure 😀 Other than that I'm out RC'ing tomorrow so just getting some batteries charged. Hope you're having a nice weekend. Best wishes to you my friend 😁

Hi Pete, hope you’re keeping well. Thank you for a useful and easy demonstration of a TT02 internal cover, seems to help keep the majority of the debris out of the key areas of the chassis. If it helps, that triangular section of the chassis below the steering arms, where debris can collect; a tip I picked up from Mark Bryan, fill that area with hot melt glue and level off. That will stop debris from getting in that section and jamming the steering. I finished my Range Rover now, runs well, got some replacement Arrma lower suspension arms, so got to get them fitted, ordered a new challenge in the shape of a 1/32th scale Orlandoo Hunter Land Rover with the bells and whistles, check out NanniRC he’s built the Rock Crawler version, looks like a challenging little model. All the best and keep well. 😉👌😆

Hiya John. Yes I have done the thing of filling in those bits of the chassis under the steering. I think that I gave Mark that tip because he got a TT-02 rally after me. I'd used Abro Steel on my first one but same effect. Glue gun glue is cheaper though. Anyway the Range Rover sounds good. I will head over to your channel and see what you've been up to. Best wishes to you my friend :-)

@@shadow7037932 I’m thinking just mesh in general. Like a mesh “bag” that goes over it instead of solid plastic. Maybe stock 540 can not run too hard is fine but gotta wonder. Would a higher performance motor drawing more amps like maybe brushless heat up faster under all that solid plastic? Mesh bag I think is the ticket.
