I'm looking forward to taking part in the forum discussions and taking you all on my journey of upgrading my recently acquired second hand Notorious.
I acquired the second hand Notorious for a steel on FBM and looked okay on the photos. However when I got it it was a bit worse for wear.
Rather than make a fuss, I thought I take on the challenge of repairing it.
First was to figure out what version it was and finally figured out it is the V3 Notorious, but what a mission to get the manual on line. Through some trial and error I found it on Amian hobbies. Hooray!!!
Now for the fun to begin. Unfortunately I didn't take photos of it all, but in short I took the whole car apart, some of the fixes:
After the upgrades and repairs I took the Notorious out for its first bash. Wow!!!! What a beast. I've not had this much fun with an RC car.
The Notorious needed a bit of a clean and tightening of screws. Locktite needed. Haha
Some more photos cleaned and polished.

- Centre diff disintegrated- ordered a new one
- Front shock mount held on with wire and bent- straightened and replaced shock mounts
- Diff oil non existing- replaced with 60k/500k/30k wt as recommended by many on the forum
- Shock oil okay but did a refill with 1000wt
- New set of tires
- General clean of everything and replacing rusty screws etc.
