I haven't gotten around to painting the clearn body included with the car, I was more concerned with getting it up and running. Still needs a micro rx to be complete, but I've found a way to make a regular size Rx fit under the shell.
So here she is.
Using a OFNA Am Tx/Rx combo that came of my Ultra Comp2, works fine with what i'm doing with it.
JR z270 servo for steering, and a Novak 4.5R brushless setup for power. I still need to buy a LiPo and charger for what I really wanted out of this car, but with a crappy 3,000mah pack it does okay, the 4.5R motor drew enough current that i overheated the cells in my 3,000mah pack and it hasn't had quite the punch since.. Everything rolls freely and the diffs aren't locked.
I didn't get a decent decal set with the clear body so I can't make it look like anything rigth now. So I instead made a basher body. Its pretty fun and decently fast, somewhere in the 40's with the crappy pack, and stock gearing (meant for a mabuchi Sport Tuned RS540 motor. Stock motor mount isn't adjustable so I can't put a smaller pinion yet)
