The car so far, is as exactly as described in the ad. Its so CLEAN. There are maybe 3 scratches total on the chassis. And its 4mm...really thick!

I can't wait to put this car on ground and race it. It'll definitely be fun. I heard great things about the Mugen X12 engine. Rev's up to 41000, 1.5hp, and its turbo. What a step up from my NTC3! lol

Congrats. It's a great car. Definitely a step up from the NTC3.

Thanks bro. Gonna look for a high speed servo to put on. I only have some cheap JR Z590 servos for the steering (hi torque) to put on right now, but i'll buy a nice hi speed servo soon.

I use the KO Propo PDS2363. Fast and very accurate. Built in heat sink. It's a little bit pricey but worth it. Picked mine up for about $130. .08secs/60* at 6v.

What's the minimum amount of torque needed for an onroad car?

 

[Diver6127]

I would suggest at least the Futaba 9550 it's about 1.10secs @60* It's not overly quick but get's the job done.

And get at least 85 grams

ok cool. I'll look into those servos. Thanks Diver.

Congrats, Snowboard. What did you do with the SS18?


I noticed a few of our RCNT members over on that board!

 

[snowboardgeek1]

I still have the SS18. Considering selling it. I have a nice NTC3 that I was selling, which I wanted to give the guys here a first crack at it, but it was deleted from here

You can still check it out on that board, under the same screen name.

 

[Revo Rancher]

Snowboard, you need 100 posts before you can sell anything on here. Maybe the admins would give you a waiver seeing as how you bought the SS 18 from a member.

 

[snowboardgeek1]

I asked for one but they didn't give me a waiver. All good...I don't mind following rules. They're here for a reason.

Anyhow, I know if I posted that NTC3 here, it would have generated a lot of interest. I wasn't looking to get much out of it. Oh well...

I can't wait to get the Mugen up and running. The drivetrain is so SMOOOOOOTH!
