One more month of hopeless incomplete projects, then we will do the beaters and bashers again next month. =========================================== We always like seeing runners and excellent shelfers, but how about the projects that never seem to come to completion? This contest is for the projec...

Masami looks different in that photo.

It now has a nose plate. No extra holes in it (I can feel the disappointment) but it does have a bit of trimming.

I need to convert it back to a Futaba J and add a power switch, but pretty cool Competition Model Works ESC.
. Edit: it cleaned up pretty well

if someone wants to use a nimh saddle pack you could just cut off the lipo battery mounts and file the slots to shape. Modifying the chassis to make the slots usable would just be too much of a hack job final product. Kyosho makes nice kits, but this is a bone head screw up from them. But whatever....

The 6 cell saddle pack slots don't seem to be made to actually fit cells. I guess there's going to be a tiny minority who are going to break down a battery pack to make saddles. it doesn't even come with battery straps.

And don't forget, up to 2 vote selections are allowed.

I think there's a wee bit of sarcasm in Brendan's original post about these. Losi could do something that RC enthusiasts want, something to do with vintage 1/10 scale.... or they can do what they are doing and release these little ones.

Edit: just refreshed my screen and saw Thumb's post.

The 6 cell saddle pack slots don't seem to be made to actually fit cells. . 1000016103.png That is kinda funny, right? I suppose you could cut them if needed but it's an odd choice for sure. I feel like the slots were added by someone that saw them in pictures of old RCs but didn't know what they w...
