Hi all, its been a while since I've posted and its very quiet in here so I
thought I'd make some noise!

For starters its getting warmer down here in Australia, daylight savings is
about to start (YEEWWWW, can you tell how excited I am?  *cough* anyway) so
I'm starting to get my collection roadworthy.

First off the block, out comes the savage, click click click, what?  click
click click, apon closer inspection, yep, front diff bevel gear has popped.
Lurverly, I must have broken it last time I drove it over 6 months ago!
Doh!  I've got a spare so no problems, just need to find some time to
install it along with....

....THE NEW ENGINE I'VE JUST BOUGHT!!!  <evil grin>

I'm so sick of the K46 in there atm its coming out, I've never been able to
get that engine to run right so its time for an upgrade!

Its still on the way so I cant give anyone any info yet, but I'll keep you
all informed how it turns out.  Its a Picco .28 and if the Picco .21 I've
got in my Kanai 2 is anything to go by this thing will absolutely stoink
along!  I cant wait!

Few weeks back (month maybe) I chucked some metal shocks onto the Zilla
(finally HPI/Hot bodies released them), nice.  But I wish they would release
some bloody metal axles for it though (HINT HINT HPI/Hot bodies!!!!!).

I still haven't managed to sell my old Inferno MP6 so I've decided to keep
it, pull the engine out and stick a brushless setup in there, should be a
fun bit of project!

So whats been going on everywhere else then?!?!?!?

Cheers Dre
