Posted: Sat Oct 05, 2013 9:28 pm
HI!.. Well I picked up another Toyota Tom's. This will be my 3rd one. I have a original and a Wacoal version. This one has the Wacoal decals on the Tom's body but that's it. So basically a regular Toyota Tom's with a Wacoal decals. This was is going to be a runner. This one's going to go brushless. I have a 8.5T 4000KV brushless motor and 60amp ESC. Going to run a 7.4 volt LiPo in it and see what she'll do. lol! I need to get some new wheels/tires and clean her up a bit.
O.k so I got the Toyota Tom's runner ready to go. Got a HobbyWing 8.5T, 4000KV BL motor in it. My Flightmax 5800mAh, 30C 7.4 volt LiPo's fit in it perfectly. Looking currently into getting a 11.1 LiPo that will fit. Gearing is stock with a 18 tooth pinion. ESC is a HobbyWing 60amp with cooling fan. Receiver is a HobbyKing HK-GT2R. Steering servo is a Futaba S3003. Everything on this thing is original except the new hex head screws. I C/A glued on a piece of rigid sponge foam onto the front bumper to give it a bit of protection in case a smoke a curb or something. Wheels and foam tires are new but identical to the originals. I just wish I could go drive it!!!! There's so much snow here I can't do anything with it but drive it in my 45FT X 25FT garage.It seems like it's going to be really fast. I just have to fab up some aluminum rear body mounts and it's basically done.
Well here's the pics of the prettied up runner body of my Toyota Tom's.
