Great stuff! Not as nice as a hand moulded & CNC-machined A-C carbon tub, but OK'ish! That gearbox/heatsink is top notch though! New high watermark!

The bodyshell is butt ugly!!! It's like staring at the bloody sun!!! ... Any shell is better with a good paintjob, it's the same with girls! The look better with more makeup... but there's a limit as to how much a "paintjob" can rectify...

Newer thought it'd be possible, but even the Bulldog/Punisher shells look better!

Is it a frog in a sock or a python that's swallowed a rabbit?

(yes, I'm bored at work...)

Since you have just about tested all 2wd cars available, do you know how a Schumacher Cougar SV shell fits?

If the fit is decent, I might try one of these shells:

You're going for the Vega B4 conversion then Roy?

Nice paintjob Martin, but not by yourself?

I think I found my new 4WD now!!! A-C 410 Ultra!



Anyone pre-ordered a 22?

By Dea Designs, this one

I've pre-ordered several places, but with Horizons quick delivery lately, I think Smallsize will get it just as quick as everyone else.

I got the DX3R Pro weeks before the release date, and the planes have all been on time, so I hope the 22 will be on time as well

I have to admit that I have surrendered and joined the masses in 4wd.

This weekend I built a new B44, completely stock. Me and Rune Karlsen had some great fights, me winning the first final one second ahead, the second final was chaos with Ole winning, and the third me and Rune snuck away for a nice final fight, but sadly a marshal stepped on my car and broke it

My car was faster than me, and Rune and me were the only ones dipping under 13,5, most others were in the 13,8-14,5 range.

I have a lot to learn about 4wd running again, considering I used up only 2500 mah during an 8 minute final on carpet, and tried to run it a bit too smooth, but being that quick in the debut got my confidence up by a lot!

Nope. Seems to be held up by UK's brilliant Royal Mail service

Finished it up this weekend. Not very happy with the result, but with some stickers it might cover the flaws

What do ya think?

You're not grown up until you learn how to properly paint your shells yourself!

With a little bit of practise, liquid mask, a sharp Excel knife and a good airbrush it's really not that difficult!

What's next? Hire someone to drive it?

I wasn't very motivated to sit an entire day in the paint-booth, so it was done in about 1,5 hour, and that included a b4 shell aswell, hehe..

Just want to see if it gives any more response than the Jconcepts punisher. If not I'm going back to the "retro" high-flow shell


@Shy: Well I am so bloody fast, combined with covering it with a towel in the pits, you won't see that it's a bulldog
