My Raider Loves LIPOs

My Turbo Raid LOVES LIPO. I have a 4,200 and 4,600 mah shorty LIPO battery and they fit perfect (after a little help from my Dremel tool. As the Raider's motor is on the left of the car though, the car was really unbalanced if I put the shorty LIPO in the center of the car. With the LIPO on the right side of the battery tray, the weight balance is just about perfect (I bet better than stock)!

Also, there is the perfect place to put a screw in the battery tray (looks like for some reason the plastic is molded for one). I put a screw in the hole with a small plastic bushing around and it keeps the battery exactly where it should be (perfectly aligned on the right side of the tray.

A big bonus is the battery is much lighter than the old school batteries from the 80s. The car was already light.... but she is a happy car now and rips pretty good!

It's finally time to get off my duff and do what I've been procrastinating about for far too long. The fun begins. :?

Here we go: three bodies & wings all FasMasked and ready for paint. I decided to spray the FasMask on with a cheap $20 HVLP...

I'm bored today and somehow got on the Stadium Blitzer. I think it is one of the best looking trucks and one of the best kits from Tamiya. Strong, reliable, cheap, easy to assemble and decent performance. I will never forget as a kid walking into...

These are recent pick ups that I couldn't say no to for the price.

Ultima with Tecnacraft wheels. I just found the original front wheels and tires but wasn't able to find the rear wheels and tires within boxes of stuff.

Maybe use a stronger servo instead?

Although I hope that you won't have the issue I had on my Tamiya DF-01 after installing a stronger servo: the car still didn't steer properly because the servo mounts flexed :roll: so much and the car was quite...

Hi, I am new to all this, however I recently upgraded my graphite rc10 to brushless and decided to move on from nicads to Lipos, I've just brought a charger off eBay which came with x2 3s 2200mah 35c packs.

Will these be ok? They are half the size...

Tend to agree with Mr. Ed here. These sound like something for a mini erevo type setup. You have a link or pics?
