Lookin' good Nasir, I'm sure Mark will do a good job on the shell, I like his stuff ! What are you having ? Your usual Red Bull scheme or something new ?

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with this, all aspect, maintenance, driving, racing, everything. Especially as you have already done this with Nitro. I wonder if it will compare and how easy it is to get on with / change & adapt to ?

Safety first.

I was working in a model shop in 2003 when Lipo's were starting to come in and be used a lot in helicopters.

There was a story that went around everywhere with pictures of a guy charging the heli in the back of his car, I don't know what happened and led to this but the battery caught fire followed swiftly by his car, whole lot went up.

The pictures were of this burnt out car, you could make out the heli in the boot still, was horrible but that was a long time ago and tech has moved on since then, still, probably better to be safe than sorry eh !

Ok little update.

Took it for a test drive and all was good,very fast i must say.The front drive shaft popped out,but that's because i forgot to lock tight my screw. The center diff seemed to be leaking. So i took it off and greased it all up better and tigened the screws up more.

Thanks.

I noticed the wing seemed a bit 'bad' with all the red bull stuff. So i am getting a custom Red bull skin wrap for it







What do you think?

Thanks.

Yeah that looks okay, nice tidy paint from Mark as usual ! Could do with something else in the back section as the sides are real cool with all the sponsors and stuff and then the back just looks a bit empty I guess.

Will look better with the wing skin on it, gonna look good on the track, nice and clear.

When I finally manage to get to Slough I'll come over and have a proper look
