JayAVFC's "Racing career" NEW XRAY XB8E BUILD!


JayAVFC

Recommended Posts

Very nice but I'd prefer to race the touring car or truck myself.

 

The local track would probably be good for 1/5 racing, can't see that happening though as due to the area it is in, the club had received noise complaints when they raced nitro. The club only races electric now.

Hi all,

I will be using this topic for my racing career, this includes touring cars, minis and 1/8th buggies,

So today arrived my new RS5 T15 1/5th touring car supplied by MaximumServiceRacing.com,

The servos, diff, clutch and car arrived today and I am still awaiting delivery of the new titanium pipe and 2015 Abbate Silver RR engine

Here are a few pics of the car...

Here is my TLR 8ight 3.0

I have one car ready to race and the other is purely just a spares car.

I am currently running an Alpha f850 engine, savox servos, proline shell

I have all of the alloy upgrades like hubs, top brace etc but I have been told it makes the car to stiff

I am using the doner car as a practice car to get started with and then I have a brand new one for when I go racing at KMRC

Well my new Xray Xb8e 2015 arrived today,

I still have to build the shocks and do a couple of other things, like buy the electric for it and fit them

Here are a few pics, I got a bit carried away with the build and forgot the photos!

Hello all, quick update,

Here is My new BMW bodyshell for my Rs5 t15, painted by my dad/mechanic

Also,

Here is my new futaba 4px next to my 4pks, it looks and feels so much nicer than the 4pks, it is also much easier to program and do what you want it to do!
