So this thing arrived today. After going through and cleaning the steering servo and putting a Dean's connector on it, it runs fine. Good for about 30mph (50kph) opened up.
The good news is that it already has aftermarket wheels on it, ball bearings in front, but I'm going to get bearings for the rear. The front tires are narrow and it understeers a bit. I may go for wider front wheels. I need to read up in some forums and see if it will handle 3S!

 

Nice, should be a bit of fun! 50k is pretty descent and at that size any faster is going to be pretty hard to control! How fast do your cars go @3dmick!

 

I bet his get close to 100kph.

 

About 70kmh I just put new rubber on the back
Looks tuff

 

Definitely looks tuff! Reminds me of something out of a Mad Max movie.
Mine has a similar stance, but built cheaper... Hard springs, no shock absorbers, cheap 27mHz radio, but at least the throttle and steering are proportional. It'll do for a ground beater. I can upgrade it later.

 

Yep most of the time the front wheel are in the air awesome fun to drive lol

 

Holy Shiz! I put my 3S/3200mAh pack in this thing today and it's nearly uncontrollable on a gravel lot. It slung one tire off the rim....I had to glue it back on the beads. I can't wait to get it on open pavement!

 

That is awesome to hear! More power is directly related to more fun which is also related to more cost!

 

Agreed. Must upgrade tires. Running 3S on pavement:
Good for around 50 to 55kph, but the thing rolls over on hard turns. It's a dirt car anyway.
I'll have to shoot some video tomorrow.
