This is my car for the 2010 Speed Event.
It is a Xray M18T, with custom extended chassis by Thomas P. I'm using Atomic ball diffs, Xray and Atomic CVD's, Xray allow front hubs, 3 racing shocks and lots of other stuff :lol: For electrics, I am running a Tekin RX8, Neu 1115/1.5D, Hyperion 2S 1600mah 35C packs in series to run 4S, Ino Lab D261HB, Futaba 4PK. Gearing will be 33/54 to start, 35/54 if I can be bothered to dremel the chassis a bit more.

I still need to make an undertray and body. I may be converting it to the M18 Pro touring car arms, wheels etc. to make it into a streamliner. Depends on if I have the time after holiday.

This is my FTX blaze i have nicknamed Goliath. It has the extended chassis, body and driveshaft, ball diffs (front and rear) bearings all round, Tamiya ta-01 driveshafts and hpi sprint axles (for good durability) losi mini lst shocks and a lot of other stuff.

Its running a Mamba Max esc, Hyperion 3s 35c 1800mah lipo, 4800kv L can motor, 28-41t gearing and a normal 1/10th servo.

I can turn the speed right down on my radio. The faster it is, the most responsive at speed it is to me.

It's at the Long Marston runway near Stratford upon Avon, on the 11th/12th September. Have a look on www.fast-rc.co.uk for more info for directions, times etc.

So far there are 3 mini cars at the event, would be great to have another!

No rules for the mini class yet :lol: Just any mini I assume. General rules are that it must be safe. I'm getting a lift from a local guy, don't think there would be any room in the car though :confused:

Yeah, you would be better of trusting hide with it, rather than me especially.

I am not a good rc driver, i admit it lol.
