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.

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.

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

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.






Check out my green nose RC10 runner on the back ground.

More updates next year, we have a family trip planed so it will be next year when i update this. Thanks for the comments.

Great build here, excellent preparation and has gone together really well!

Great inspiration for us vintage builders!

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


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? 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.

Another update on this baby, Thanks to bigjeepzz for some of the custom parts, stealth trans button and the CF braces. I am adding some electronics and body next.

Enjoy some pics.

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.


Jake

Looking great. Can't wait to see more

Your car is fantastic!

Nice build! I think a white and black body would look great.

badass. now that's a color associated should of started off with, with the colored tubs. really pops and brings out the white parts. sweet build miguel.

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$$,
Thanks Jake.
Paint and electronics coming soon.
