New Accucraft Baguley Drewery

Has anyone got one of these yet with the new metal chassis and are you happy with it?

I might go for a Brandbright conversion although their site does not give a wait time. Anyone got one on order?

I've got one, and am very pleased with it. I originally bought just a chassis to replace the older plastic version on one I already had, and have since bought another chassis to put a scratch-built body on. It's a huge improvement over the old chassis...

I've converted mine to battery and remote control using parts from Cliff Barker, which has been reasonably simple to do...

Thanks for the posts.

Do you know what motor they use for the chassis. Is it a Bühler? Is it 3, 5 or 7 pole motor?

Cheers,

Tom
