simple paint scheme with stripes in contrasting colours look good with less work. the baja in this pic for example (save the stripes on the side)

Divyam · June 10, 2010, 07:16:43 PM

That's all right but I need the paints first!

Divyam · June 11, 2010, 04:13:05 PM

Also, I need help getting the E-Clips on to the shock shafts...

Hey congrats on the new car.

For trimming the body, you would need a hobby curved lexan scissor. These ones specially have curved cutiing edge so u can move around corners and bends easily. Cutting with one of those is real real easy. You won't ever go wrong.

Hey guys I'm back from a trip to Mysore!
Now to get back to the car...
xplosify, where would I get these in India? How much would they cost?

Divyam · June 17, 2010, 10:33:03 PM

Hey do you think this motor would fit my car?

iamahuman · July 12, 2010, 05:00:32 PM

Oh, so you did not get to run your car.Sorry I could not be there.Hope to race with you soon too.How could you guys run your cars after the rain?Is it indoor?

karthikr_2922 · July 12, 2010, 07:47:06 PM

So that small little car at the race was yours?

Divyam · July 12, 2010, 10:25:02 PM

I wasn't there for the race but for the lap time I was able to run half a lap before my battery died...
But a really small 18 th scale car is coming!

iamahuman · July 13, 2010, 04:59:08 PM

So,do you mean that the track was so big, or your baterries weren't charged completely when you went there?

Divyam · July 13, 2010, 06:01:27 PM

Oh my battery was charged... I just got a new radio so I was setting it up and the NiMH battery ran out!! Besides I gotta change the motor...

iamahuman · July 13, 2010, 06:50:38 PM

what is the capacity?In what time did you kill it?My traxxas will come with a 3000 mah battery pack.Any idea what my run time will be on low throttle usage.

Divyam · July 13, 2010, 08:22:28 PM

My batt is about 2400 mah and it's way over 500 cycles old... So it's probably lost a lot of it's capacity... I killed it in about 7 mins...
With a 3000 mah you should get about 13-15 mins...

iamahuman · July 14, 2010, 05:02:29 AM

oh ok.thanks.

rajathv8 · June 12, 2011, 11:16:42 AM

Divyam can you provide info on the power system that you bought?

Divyam · June 12, 2011, 11:27:57 AM

Its a 25A ESC, and a 2s 2200MaH 25c LiPo. Still haven't got the motor. The motor I got in the combo was a 130 sized can. Too small to fit in the car.

rajathv8 · June 13, 2011, 04:44:29 PM

Cool. Hope to see the little fellow running soon
