Well I have finally got my act together and pulled my Super Hornet to bits and given it a bit of a clean up.I took all the electrics out and cleaned the chasis out with a toothbrush and air compressor.I found a few cracked bits which I want to replace.Anyone know where I can get a new body and maybe a new chasis.I took it for a run out the front and was surprised how well it went !clap .Might have to get a bigger motor for it though.The stock 540 is ok but more would be better.I will post some pics soon.

Ermmm will I have one.

I am trying to get it working again, but PHC can't get me a chassis so I'm waiting on that.

Stanbridges seem to be the Super Hornet expert, they broke a kit open for me to give me a part of a shock once.

They are a little weak, I snapped my chassis is half just by taking off. Gunned it with a 27t and chassis went SNAP in half. I'll post some pics of mine too.

They have a really really bad rear suspension I think.

A screw on either side to stop the whole rear end sliding up and down fixes that.
