Build Thread Let's get nerdy - Kit Rally Car (PTG-2R)

[OnwardGuinevere]

Here she is folks! And I must say she is one sexy looking rig.

Today was playing with the steering trim and troubleshooting some minor issues as they arose. I apparently didn't tighten the grub screw on the motor pinion enough so the gear slipped. Fixed now!
Also, still working a few kinks on securing electronics in tactical spots, so making adjustments is easy, when needed.

Upon initial test drive, she is very fast! I'll just own up to it...she gained some minor scuffage when the gear slipped , but she's properly christened now .

I'd like to get out to a dirt area tomorrow so I can get some video, cuz the engine sound is awesome!

Very cool. I did this yesterday. Maybe ideas ?? I already had the action camera & TPU mount when I did lots of FPV w/ my RC.

That's a good idea! I may need to craft something like that. I almost put a go pro on the car, but glad I didn't, it wouldn't have stayed on there long with my driving

I had my stampede doing cart wheels and tumbles at 45-50mph and tgat booger was in there. My suggestion is to tape the case if you do. I had it open mid crash and a little fast it would have ejected.

Sweet ride. You did a great job. You pretty much nailed it. Only thing missing for my ocd is a license plate.

Thanks! And yes, totally agree on license plates. I've had the site as an open tab (1 of 25 tabs) on my phone for has to be the past 4 months! I've been wanting to get all the crawlers plates.

I'm about to go get another round myself. My go to on the bay shut down so I'm trying another source. They even have the expiration sticker.

Oh nice! Exp. date is cool.
I was planning to order through RC Plate shop, there plates look nice. Now that I have my Ham Radio license, I think I'll put my call sign on most my plates

RC plate shop is where I got my 1/5 scale plates. Pretty good compared to what I 3dprinted.

That's where I'm going.

They make some good stuff. I just got the plastic ones; it was 2 for the price of one metal plate.

Nice, I think I'll order plastic too. Last time I checked I had a $50 order in plates

 

[Tunedfrog]

I checked them out and I want one.
