Guys I feel so Special today, Come home from work knackered after the tube strike & to my surprise there was a parcel with funny Chinese writing on nit, I just new what was inside, BUT was least expecting it, 9 days delivery Cant complain with that...

 

Its Amazing I Just keep on Looking at it..

 

Gonna share pics in a bit....

 

Also received Brushless Combo & Lipo Yesterday was feeling bored & soldered the lot apart from the Motor tabs...

Where did you order from and what price?

[Diamondmaxx]

DONE, I am in, Well I will be when I take delivery of my D3 CS CNC CARBON KIT....

 

The Lucky number was

[Diamondmaxx]

13t Pinion ordered, Hopefully that will make up for the higher 5600Kv motor....  Will also invest in some Bigger sizes... like 15t to 18t a Bit later when I have a selection of motors for this chassis...

 

 

I am stuck on ordering a Body shell, I dont know what to get that will fitt this chassis & wheels with this offset?

 

Love the Hpi bmw e30 m3...   Have a weakness for the Kamtech Bentley shells on ebay...  & also Love Skylines scoobys & even a Porsche...

 

I have seen a mazda rx8 shell, that really long & looks like it would hide the front bumper nicely, Its also painted & posted for

Hi Collicab,

 

Check out the Quoted post above the price I payed, & the seller can also help you with the one way, he is the cheapest on ebay, & you would receive in around 9 days fingers crossed...

 

& the Quality is good...

 

I took everything apart last night & thread-locked it all, THink I may have gone a Bit over the top... & also done the bellcranked ball-raced steering posts, which have gone a bit stiff....

Cheers mate, I found them at

[Diamondmaxx]

I am Sooo Fuming....

 

Basically long bank holiday & cant play with my latest toy, because of a single pinion gear... That has Not turnt up....  

 

So basically Just sat here, Looking at My pride & Joy, Without being able todo any form of Drifting Manoeuvres...

 

This is How Mines Looking as we speak:

 

Waddya think?

 

Still need a proper servo, 

A Bodyshell,

Thats exactly what I had to do when looking at this thread....

 

Its Not your Fault, LOL...

 

Theres Not many cars within this Budget range that look half as good....  & I am sure with a Proper set-up, Will Perform as good...

 

 

Good Luck..
