Sister got me this for a late 21st birthday present



Just gotta chuffing build the thing now




I know thats its only an electric one, but it should be good fun



I intend on getting some more powerful motors and a bigger battery (if thats possible) to see if it makes it faster

Diffs and motors



Bodyshell




Any suggestions one what colour 2 paint it?

fuck the 1900 nicad off and use something like a 2800/3200 nicad or something similar but not over the top

Arden Blue, now theres an idea . What will the bigger battery do, will it make it faster or will it just make it run for longer?

btw if your going to fit faster motors youll need metal bearings as the plastic ones just tend to melt after about 10 seconds
