So I took the chassis, tires and gear cover to finish my other Edinger car.
Then dyed the pink parts black, bought a straight ebay chassis and made this. I already built an Old is new car. So I decided to make a "Better with age" car. I wanted to keep it as old and crappy as possible yet modern and cool. So I used old tires, old shocks, 32 pitch gears, kept the sway bar. Then I did a few cool touches like polishing the nose and wing tubes, installed a body mount on the steering post. Kept the old S148 servo but installed a 2.4 ghz reciever and a cheap $60 3000kv brushless motor/esc combo. Need to find a body for it but man its fun to drive. That motor combo is perfect for a 6 gear car.
As you can tell by the tires the 3000kv motor is plenty. Only ran it about a minute and a half but it shredded the tires. Good thing they weren't that great to begin with.
. Not sure how anyone controls is on the grass or dirt as when I power up fully it wants to do donuts. I suck. Maybe 3000kv is plenty. Thanks for listing your gearing.
