really ghetto initially. basically got L brackets from bunnings and bolted them to the seat. then where they lined up on the rail, drilled and bolted them on

make sure u get strong ones though

I'll race ya with the nitro R32 up to 50km/h, it could go up faster but launch is super quick due to it's light weight AWD making it a quick win :cool:

electric is faster :bunny:

I was running a mamba brushless combo and a 3s lipo and was seeing speeds around 100kph with foam tyers. Im also running a Team losi truck with a Sidewinder 5700kv combo and 2s lipo and im hitting speeds around 70kph with offroad tyers.

Quick update on the 26.

The loom is off the motor, aswell as the plenum. Need to organise a small crack in the plenum to be welded up and then strip it down with paint stripper and get it looking like new. Will be replacing all hoses with black silicon ones and getting new intake gaskets.

I picked up the rc car with the S15 shell at hobby habits on main north, the 34 shell at hobby habit daws road and the 32 shell on ebay, I also got an R34 shell that my girlfriend painted a charmeleon purple green colour lol I so wouldnt mind them 1:10 scaled Work Meister or XSA mmmmm

Dave, I was originally going to go for another electric and eventually whack a mamba max in there but couldnt resist trying out the nitro - the noise and the smoke is awesome. I could whack a mamba into the associated 1:18 I got but searching around apparently it doesnt stay on the ground because its too small/light :cool:

That R32 shell only just came in the mail today so its fresh and clean... and then it'll just end up like my S15 shell after it's first tank lol

the middle R34 shell will go on an electric one eventually :rofl:

Did you get your models from Hobby Habit?

also..just dial in some camber..always fun there!

thats it there..on the camera phone.

haha me, scott and adrian have 1:10 electric drift cars, farkin fun, havent taken mine out of the shed in a while tho. I have a 32 gtr shell, Blitz R34 drift shell, AE86 panda spec shell and an S15 :(

Whatever you do, grease up the driveshafts, the front ones are farking expensive!

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
