Just one last thing. Might be an idea to wait until you get the Velcro before sticking anymore tape on it. It seems that every time you get someone mentioning tape you add more and take loads of pictures! I swear you are trying to give someone a heart attack. LMAO Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Keep going Arogon! The others give good advice, but it is a hobby and your project. It would be very boring if everyone just copied everyone else's ideas/cars. Just a thought, but might it not be an idea to rotate the ESC 180 degrees, then you could shorten your wires as they would be nearer the motor/batteries. Is the motor up to taking the lipo setup your expecting to use?

My brushless Carnage starting making gear crunching squeals today when jumping and doing tight turns. Is this the slip disc or do I have a problem? My pinion and spur seem to be taking a hammering when it happens. Seems to be happening more with my don than me. The other strange thing is that he has managed to bend one of his CVD today without any major hits?

New spur gear assembly fitted. :-) Bought a descent HPi Hex drive and had no problems undoing screws. Note to self, don't buy cheap tools. Result. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks. Got another question. I need to change my spur gear assembly. How do I release it from the rear diff? Do I need to open up the diff housing? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Can someone tell me what size the wheel nuts are on a Carnage. I'm sat at work about to order some tools and I can't remember the size. Thanks, Richard Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Been out for a bash today with my Carnage and have managed to strip my spur gear!!! Has this happened to anyone else? Is it because my slip clutch was too tight? Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

Will do. I haven't set the body height yet. Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

You're need to be careful with those batteries! They seem a bit precarious on the edge. Using a 1/10 does restrict your space. It will look loads better once you have shortened the wires. What shell are you using? Good luck with your test run. Any chance of a video? Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

I used the following: http://m.staples.co.uk/pens-tape-desk-supplies/markers/permanent/magnum-permanent-markers?prefix=WW Feels like it is going to last, but will have to wait and see. Probably not going to be bashed as much as a buggy! Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

Thanks. Not yet. Haven't got round to looking into that yet. Recommendations? Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

What to do about the white wheels! I was hoping that the carbon stickers would work, but unfortunately they would not stay stuck and I didn't hold out much hope that they would last long. I have obviously read loads of threads about painting and dying, boiling and freezing. The problem for me was that I did not want to remove the tires. I then read an entry in a thread from someone suggesting using a permanent marker. Genius! I bought a heavy duty permanent marker from Staples and here is the result. They may not be the prettiest of looking wheels, but they will hopefully see me past the ton. :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Aragon I'm going to try the GRPs and see how they go. Foams are always an option. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Wheels have arrived super fast from GRP. Need to now dress them with a decal to make them black. Not the prettiest of wheels, but supposedly they are the business for speed runs. I have to say that the rubber feels quality and sticky. Much better feel than the original Kyosho tyres. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

As always totally inspiring!!! Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

I'm not sure that 4mm will be too stiff. The chassis plate is going to be 66cm x 35cm. I would have thought that there would still be a fair bit of flex with this size. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Started on the design for the carbon chassis. Think I'm going to go for 4mm carbon for stiffness. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I'm not sure at the moment. Think I'm going to go for a full carbon chassis replacement as it will give me more space for batteries etc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

As this is my first shell I am chuffed with the result. There are a few minor issues, but I'm keeping those to myself. :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

As always guys thanks for the advice. The car will be a bit higher, just dropped it onto the chassis for some shots. Not sure about the statement on the gyro. I'm going to have a play and see what the results are like. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

The result of a weekends work. All I need now is batteries!! Pleased with the colour. The stickers were OK, but they are definately for a model to be used as apposed to a scale model on a shelf. Going to run this on 4s batteries for a bit and then start working on the carbon fibre widened chassis, 6-8s batteries, gyro and Cap to help protect the ESC. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Need to fix spoiler and stickers Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

How is it going? Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

Thanks. Used up one and a bit tins. Backed with silver. Just got the last coat of black to go on and sticker up. Will post pictures later. Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)

Body is now cut and masked up. I've decided to paint the car Cobalt Green (PS-54) as I think it will look really good with the black side panels and spoiler. Richard S GT2 VE Speed project (under construction) FTX Carnage (Brushless)
