Will be making a battery change...will take awhile...gonna wrap my own new cells in yellow and try the MCI Sanyo 1700 mah decals...and go cells 4 x 2...want the car to perform! Problem is if it works out and looks authentic I have alot of older builds I would need to do this too as well!...stay tuned!

Really dig the motor change. As mentioned, phenomenal.

"The Diamond One" got the body cut, fitted and painted and the wheels painted...waiting for the "Days of Thunder" Superflo decals to arrive next week...plus I am redoing the battery situation...getting decals from MCI and gonna purchase new NIMH cells (6 cell) and wrap them to look like yellow Sanyo 1700 SCE...it will be awhile on that...but I want the car to perform perfectly

I see you are running Bluetooth dogbones

But seriously .... Really nice! Love the body

Lol, they will be in Friday!....42mm units

Body ended up fitting really nice, had to widen the rear to match up to the front...did it with Kyosho Scorpion axles and modifying the hub carriers for different bearing size...hopefully decals next week

I like the way you used an STP sticker to pay homage to my Slash.

Wow the decals really change the look of the body. This thing looks incredible!

Finally got this car completely done...the One outlined the windows....I got a working scr pack put in from Thumbs!... a proper machined slipper eliminator recommended by scr8p (nice piece) and a almost new Quaterflash stock motor to represent Thumbs glory days of rc

Mid motor custom is right up my alley. Awesome build.

One question about flipping the gearbox around to do a mid motor. Isn't a reverse rotation motor needed, or a 0 degree timing motor that can be run reverse polarity for driving forward? I've always flipped the top shaft direction when I do a mid motor to keep motor rotation in the normal direction.
