Dang, is there a bag for every letter in the alphabet?

Dang, is there a bag for every letter in the alphabet?

If I'm not mistaken that's hexadecimal code

One bag left then it’s wheels and body. And wing
A little busy right now but should be able to fill and install shocks tonight.
Have not decided Emulsion or Bladder yet.

 

[Cheez]

Voilà….

Went with emulsion to start with.

 

[Cheez]

Last bag! Plus a couple of upgrades.

Gonna roll with these.

Impressive zipping up and down the street.

Hoping to get a body on this bad boy soon. Picked up a Bittydesign body in addition to the one that came with. The included body is Nitro, I know they make bodies for electric. A little disappointed about that, oh well

 

[Doom!]

I am excited for you, you are so close to getting it done.

 

[Cheez]

Finished! this is the body that came with the kit. Meh , nitro body oh well. It performs awesome up and down the street. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to a track next week. About 100 degrees everyday though, may wait until it cools a little.

Hopefully I’ll get the Bittydesign body painted next week.

Looking forward to starting this build in the next day or two…. Hemming and hawing regarding ESC . Probably will go with the Tekin.

Thats a tough call for me. But yeah the Tekin rules.
She is a cream puff. Nice job.

Tidied up the wiring a bit and replaced some of the chassis screws with titanium. More titanium screws coming for topside next week. Tomorrow I take this bad boy out!

Maiden run was outstanding! I’m no expert but I must have gotten lucky with my settings and tuning. I’ll probably adjust the punch. Beast spits rooster tails at the slightest touch of the throttle. No way I can get full trigger pull. Track is loose/hard pack combo. It handles corners great! 25 minutes and this is as much dirt it collected.

Nice! My heart is pounding just thinking about it.
All that time and work, boiling down to that one moment.
Congrats. Great build, even if it is on the wrong forum.

Love a good success story!
