1st off, im from Sweden, my English aint so good, and i hope ya all can understand some of what i will wright here..
can someone post a link with the code so i can do the pics SMALLER, thank you
To make a long story, short. My first ever rc-car was a Tamiya Wildwilly got it back in -82 still have it...DRY rubberwheels
. No electronics, but someday...i will restore it.
I have always wanted a LB, a friend had one back in the 80´s and there it started...so for a few days ago, i did it..i ordred the LB from Honkong, but before everything, i read a lot of the car on rcuniverse, and here. Still a lot of unanswered questions, but hopfully they will come
.
Since im in to racing 95% of my rc time, i have a need for speed.. (2wd and 4wd buggy El 1:10th). But this one, wont come near the performance my buggys will give me, i wil only build this one for fun, and to have anything to play with..kind of missed it a bit..
I hope to "pimp" it so much i can, and do some job on the handling...a major order from Towerhobbies will go on Tuesday. Will use Brushless spedo from LRP and a motor, around 6-7.5r and Lipo 4400mah for some runtime..
This is a copy from my project thread in Sweden..enjoy and il try to keep ya all updated.
Thomas P / back to basic
?
Tires and rims...
Bought Hornet AluHEX, they will let me try some diff 12mm Hex rims... i have or will order thoose..
RPM Bully rear/front (5mm axel är det, där har vi Traxxas NR som e bra)
HPI SS Monster Wheel
Traxxas Front Light wheel Dyable Truck
Rims above wil be shrouded with Proline rubber
Trac-Ta-Gator
Speed Paw
Striker II.
Batteries are as i said erlier, not decided yet, but it will probably be E-Power lipo 4400 mah 2s 20-30C series
My goal with this isnt speed , only joy..it will have a custom painted Parma lexan body for use, and a "nicer" stock body for meeting...
