Nice!

What body it that? I am using the Tower ST15 body...
I like mine on clay, but could use a bit more rear weight bias. I guess I could replace my shorty with a full size.

No kidding! I had a guy do me a favor and try flipping me over with his SCT...of course with my freshly painted body

And as far as the DA goes, I've heard the term but have no idea what it is or what it does. I was trying to explain it, but Wikipedia does a better job...haha Density Altitude: the altitude relative to the standard atmosphere conditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicated air d...

Nice! Tracks don't open up here for another month...my car isn't ready yet anyway. FWIW, my reaction times get worse the older I get...haha Car is really consistent, what tires are you running at the track? How hard are you leaving on the converter, sounded like a high idle. Definitely not a sleeper...

I can take some measurements tonight. Are you looking to try a mid-motor conversion? The GT trans is a laydown/forward mounting unit, and it a bit longer/lower than the stealth. I have yet to see an instance where a stealth is not strong enough, and the GT trans is internally the same, aside from a ...

Thanks!

This will be a runner, so I didn't make it too nice figuring that I would need to change the layout depending on how it drives.

We have a new offroad indoor carpet track I want to try out...just not sure what I should do for tires.

All the big pieces are done, just need to find some time to hit the track. My Badger 105 arrived yesterday, so I got a makeshift painting area set up and toyed around on some paper for 5 minutes, then decided to paint the body. It is a mixture of airbrush and rattlecan depending on what form I had w...

Made some progress last night. Started converting it to 12mm hexes all around. I was unsure the T4 dogbones would be long enough, but it worked out great. I just had to use some spacers on the axle to move it inward a bit to keep the bones in the outdrives. Rear STRC 0 deg hubs drilled out for 1/8&q...

Ahh, OK, I am in Plymouth.

I haven't found any decent roads to open mine up yet...I hit 45mph in the parking lot at work on 2S, but I needed a bit more real estate on 4S

I've found the aluminum ones a couple places, but no luck scoring plastic ones, yet. If I find them somewhere, I'll post up.

What is your target ride height?

Also, it might not hurt to look into 0 degree rear arm mounts

Fixed the shock, added some weight in the nose, and made a couple ESC changes. A test drive in the street revealed that this thing is ridiculous. Rolling into it at 15-20mph rust resulted in pulling wheelies... Made it back out to the track yesterday for a practice session. A new configuration, and ...

Made some progress on #2 Picked up a Tower ST-15 body. Not sure if I will narrow my rear tower, or trim the body to clear. Got the topshaft shims I needed to button up the trans, mounted the motor plate, and started working on the rear brace. I used a strip of CF to extend the trans brace to include...

Got this running a few weeks ago, and tested it out on 2S...clocked it at a drama free 45mph and everything was ice cold after a couple runs. Plugged in 4S and things were a little less manageable. The parking lot at work wasn't quite long enough to get the power down. Picked up some foam donuts and...

The snapped shock shaft has me a bit confused...I'm no metallurgist, but the fracture looks like the shaft was made from powdered metal, and it broke right at the threads. The landing wasn't THAT hard, and I might expect a steel shaft to bend, but not break. I think I saw a similar complaint with re...
