Yes, only Facebook type Erik van Ravenstein.

Oke did my final Sketer upgrade. Full Basherqueen Sketer carbon kit with carbon tower to tower. Also added 7075 Corally gearbox houses back and front and installed CVD's for the back. I found out my rear shock tower was bende also.
Will update this threat when i break something. But i cant imagine that i have to upgrade anything anymore.
If you guys want to ask me anything about the Sketer, feel free 2 do so.

Oh because the old rear shock tower was bend and that the basherqueen towers are thicker, the body did not fit anymore. I drilled a longer slot in the back. Just like the original body. I guess the rear shock tower was bend allready when i drilled the holes for the basher body 🤔 Cant remember when that happened 🤣

I was reading last night about this but couldn’t figure out what differed with the big bumper? I’m assuming you have the small bumper?

No the big one. It is the complete version. Small one will upgrade the stock Sketer one. I would buy the big one. It is strong 💪

die "Große Variante" ersetzt den originalen Bumper vollständig - siehe Fotos

Replaces te whole bumper

die "Kleine Variante" Ersetzt die Originale Abdeckung unter dem Fahrzeug vorne

Changes the plate under the car only.

don't think so. But i am not sure. don't have that one. Got the "older" version.
I would like to know if someone else knows 🤔

It says;

  • EZRUN series car model brushless ESC (2.0 and above)
  • PLATINUM series air model brushless ESC
  • SEAKING Pro series ship model brushless ESC
 
Kuron 825 and centre diff are stuck 😔 Have not openend the diff up but i think the gearing is dead. Motor, don't know. Have not taking it apart but i think it needs to be replaced. Not impressed by the quality of the Kuron 825. Did not had it that long. Out of warranty but that is oke. ESC is still good. Yeah, money pit indeed 🤑 Will be fixed asap ofc. Keep you guys posted.
