this ones going to be all wight

Post by treehugger »

OK so i have wanted to do an all white NDS since i first saw the white mid trans in a truck .
Kline still do the DS arms i think ,in white
And the mandatory white powder coat chassis drilled and cut down, post coating (satin off coarse )
i have been a saving a ds f150 and merc , but i always like the gt40 .
so the question is
can i run the engine parallel to the chassis ? as apposed to upright ?
As cute as the little pickup is with the head sticking out behind the cab i suspect that the gt s line will be somewhat compromised.and GT40 with 20% extra sounds great . But sticking out the top :shock: having to rename it the GT48 is :shock: :lol: :lol: :roll:
any views experiences would be great . i was thinking .12 size motor LOL

What are the odds of finding one of those OS laydown motors that never really caught on? I remember there was really big hype when they first came out, but life got in the way of my RC world and when I returned to it they were not the next greatest thing after all. As I remember they were mainly for Tamiya and Kyosho but your skill levels would probably find a solution. In any case I'm just wondering if 1: that's a viable solution, and b: can one be obtained easily for a decent sum.
