Those braces should look awesome on the car.

I have not added the bracing because I can't get my battery hold to work with it; I am going to play with this for a bit. :D

Yeah, but it was really cool- there was a large camelback that led into a single, then double and a 90deg left. I found that if I rolled the camelback and pinned it at the peak all the way into the single fast and then hit the brakes hard as soon as I crested the single, that I could triple the whole section and still be good for a fast corner because of all the momentum created by the tail whipping higher than the front-but you had to pin the throttle to make the landing right..........
it took me a few "attempts" to figure this out-hence the chassis

Cool stuff Reg. I will be setting this guy up with some sort of bracing. Thanks for the recommendation. :D

Why did someone leave a water bladder on the track and why did you roll over it? No wonder why you took a dive off the jump :P

I will be setting this car up with some more custom parts like chassis brace to add more strength and will probable come up with a different way to hold the battery down.
I am planning to run this with a Novak GT 7 and brushed motor for the moment before I move on to brushless.

Sweet, looks like a TON of time and effort, now it just needs a custom painted body, 8) !


Where are gear covers available, any luck finding one yet?

Thanks for t e comments, this car is almost done. I am waiting for a couple of things and then the body. He Jim are you offering to paint? :lol: Mirage SS.

I am actually waiting for a couple of custom parts that I feel like they will take this car to another level of coolnes. I am really liking this car and I believe it will perform well on the track.

Updates soon. :D

Miguel, that is a sharp looking build man. I have alway thought the white tub would look great and you have definately nailed a perfect build.

I hope the parts fit good for you. I can't wait to hear how the car runs on the track. I am happy with my red car and this is pretty much built with the same parts. Can't wait to see what you do for a paint job.

I had this Protech body from an older shelf car that I replace with a Mirage so I decided to trim this one up for this car... There is something about a nicely trimmed down Protech body that make me like it even more now that I use to BITD...

Check out my wing buttons to go with the stealth plug... I think it is bad A$$, :D
Thanks Jake.
Paint and electronics coming soon.
