A word of advice... Get an aluminium center driveshaft. The plastic one is like a wet noodle...

And I suggest you get oil filled dampers. If I'm not mistaken, this one comes with friction dampers. Apart form that, it's a pretty good car.

thanks for the tip iamahuman, i have ordered the shaft from adventure wheels yesterday
this is Type E, so it has the oil dampers

any idea was the tamiya cement, and is it mandatory?

iamahuman · February 11, 2012, 06:29:18 PM

Seems to be some kind of adhesive. Never heard of it being used though...

What motor and ESC?
What LiPo and radio system are you planning to use?

And nice car!

raja_mastana · February 12, 2012, 09:06:00 AM

Motor / ESC is stock (TEU-104BK and Sport Tuned Motor)

Lipo : Turnigy nano-tech 4200mah 2S2P 40~80C Hardcase Lipo Pack
Radio : HK-300 3 Channel 2.4ghz FHSS Ground Radio

Quick question about painting - any tutorial videos? any local alternative to Tamiya spray paints?

rajathv8 · February 12, 2012, 09:26:05 AM

Any polycrbonte paint will do.
Watch painting tutorials by ultimatercnetwork on YouTube

By local, you mean India? I think Adventurewheels has Tamiya.
As for alternatives, Bosny is supposed to work. Never tried it myself, though.

raja_mastana · February 12, 2012, 05:51:13 PM

Thanks guys for the tips
I got a Bosny can from a local paint shop and tried it on. This is the first time for me, so results are mediocre

iamahuman · February 12, 2012, 06:01:28 PM

It's not bad...

Some decals should liven it up...

rajathv8 · February 12, 2012, 09:15:39 PM

Remove the protective film from the body before applying decals

raja_mastana · February 12, 2012, 09:21:28 PM

yes, rajath, done that

iamahuman · February 12, 2012, 10:13:33 PM

Good job

Divyam · February 12, 2012, 10:36:54 PM

the bosny paint is a regular acrylic spray paint, it sticks better to plastic metal and lexan than most other paint. but it cracks on lexan under heavy flexing.
