I finally got around to making a video of this. A disclaimer though: the video is not linear. It is made up of clips taken from several videos i made, using a fixed camera on a tripod, as well as one on a head mount. Here is the video:
The new road tires and wheels.
This pile of parts, which are the complete chassis for a Redcat Lightning/HSP Flying Fish, will hopefully be assembled soon, and then i am going to set it up for rally, and then use the ZD Racing chassis for on-road stuff, and just use the same body. I will be...
I was running 3S in an asphalt parking lot, and they didnt like the extra power, but it wasn't drifting. I could barely get it to power slide, even on 3S, because of how its geared.
Actually, because i changed my mind. I have a drift car i rarely, if ever use, so, now I'm using the ZD Racing chassis for touring/on-road, and i am going to use the HSP chassis for rally/light off-road stuff.
After finally getting a chance to run this, i learned that the tires i had on it dont like 3S, and that i need to regear it for 2S, since it wont even break the tires loose on 2S. Other than that, it seems to work really well. This is all using the ZD Racing chassis. I havent even built the HSP...
These are the wheels and tires that will be on it after all the testing and adjusting are done. Now i just need to find some blue lock nuts for the wheels.
Finally "finished" so to speak. I ditched the original ESC i was going to use, and swapped to a Hobby Wing 10-BL-60, and paired it with a Surpass Hobby 3650 3300KV i got from eBay. The wheels and tires are a set i had laying around just for testing before i put the white ZD Racing multi-spoke...
Chassis started. The motor i was going to use is too small for the motor mount, so i need to still pick up a couple 3650's. I am looking at 3000KV to 3300KV. One issue i found with the ZD Racing chassis is that the springs were compressed way too much, so, until i can source some better ones, i...
I blame @WoodiE for getting me into building again. I am building a budget touring/drift car, using one body, and two different chassis, since i know using one chassis to drift and also to do touring/rally stuff is a pain. The body is a 2000 E46 BMW M3 that i picked up finished on eBay...
