You should give it at least a 'silver star' for improvements today.

That's fair....it's turning out to be way more fun then I expected....more so if can get asphalt really dialed in where I don't have to travel to use it. It looks like that's a real possibility atm.

Someone must know.....this car is already super smooth in the driveline. It has plenty of speed and torque to spin the wheels for days. I don't need foc like a crawler, and I don't think I need raw power like a drag car....is there an advantage to a brushless system in a drift car?

Smoother, sensored systems especially and lack of cogging at startup. Highly tunable via ESC programming, and much longer life without service.

And for those that didn't know, man I loved this show.

I'm a ford guy by nature....but really ...with the new motor placement being such a viable excuse to cut a hole in something to let it hang out tdc on the back end....does anyone know where to get a 1/10 scale pontiac fiero body. A car, that in its day had the highest death rate per mile of any current production vehicle on the road. Also the available option to jam a 350 v8 in there ....it's really hard not to like.

I was a flea market a week or 2 ago. Someone was selling the hogan heros box set on DVD. Tempting...but no

So I scoured the internet...and found the solution to my striping problems....they're decals . .and they come right off. Leaving room for the culture that surrounds this style of racing/driving....in paint.

They internet says this is the Japanese translation for junk, or scrap iron as it would relate to a rat rod, or boro boro
