That MKIII looks slammed even deeper. I wonder if this was what inspired him
Thanks for the pics. I guess we need to pesture Michael for his little secrets next.
Michael got bored when he was a young bloke so instead of hanging around with girls, drinking beer or designing an A-Bomb he build and raced his own brand of cars called the Vitec (based on the ideas of the Stealth cars). He nearly managed to do a deal with the German Team Associated distributor (Christian Keil) at that time to mass produce Vitec cars but Associated was not very pleased so it never happened.
Quite well IIRC. The early car was in the A-Final at the nationals in its first year (which was an acheivement at that time with 120+ drivers attending at a national) and with the MkIII based on the B2/Yokomo they managed to enter the C-Final at the 2002 Worlds in South Africa.
To make one point clear, I did hang around with girls, drunk beer, smoked cigarettes AND made some prototypes! Maybe I did spend a little more time in my workshop, than other boys
Hey, that´s not the siebenelch-thread! Please go on with Sebatians fantastic RC10-build!
To be honest I haven't done anything on the car during the last weeks due to lack of time. But with only two weeks left before we have a club race here I need to get the last bits & pieces together.
Since it is a non sanctioned race I thought of going LiPo and Brushless (6.5T maybe). You think the Stealth tranny and the stock driveshafts will handle that torture since it will be an indoor race on carpet?
The other option would be running five or six cell NiMH's with maybe a 10 to 13T brushed setup. Since I just got an Orion LiPo for review I think I will use that and just have to find a motor setup that will not harm the drivetrain ...
Not bad for $14.33, (23.28 shipped)

well, i got a motor plate, so the trans is in. no lhs have the nose brace tubes, though. so, instead of waiting to order some, i bought some k&s 3/16 aluminum rod and made my own. it should beef the front end up a little more, since they're solid...

Welcome, Yokomoman.
I don't know much about Germany other than my favorite and chosen brand of drums originated in Germany; Sonor. Most people haven't heard of them because they're not distributed too effectively in North America, people are more...
