Upto you mate :)

Jason and probably others think its overkill, others will say its great fun :)

My only regret is not getting a waterproof ESC, saying that I have just bought a proper 3900kv 4 pole motor :D

Is there anything I need to watch out for when building my kit as i'll be building it tonight after work. Read about the camber being crap on the front. Anyway to get rid of that or will that be eliminated when I fit the alloy shocks?

When I built mine I used a bit of spare rubber tube on top of the shocks to lower the front a little. Started with 8mm but cut this down to about 4mm after a bit. You can see what I done in my build thread:

Now I've got 75mm shocks up front and the height is about the same.

Well its all built and test driven round the front room lol. Bit of a bonus too as the speed controller that was listed with it was a teu101 but came with a 104 :-D For the price I was unsure if there was even gonna be an esc as at

Mine didnt come with a servo so I robbed the power hd 1050mg servo out of my savage :D 17kg metal gear servo is a little overkill for a lunchy I think but it's what I had available LOL

So the LunchBox is finished!

So thanks to the advice on here and other forums the car has been tweaked from the outset to include ballraces, Ansmann 75mm oil filled shocks, front strut brace and 5th shock (tks for the spare oodboo)
