My new Toy

[FSTFBDY]

Well I dono what I did but I did it. Hopefully I'll like this little thing. Cuz I just traded my Hopped up Maxx for it.

anyways I guess the only thing left for me to do is get a better speed control and a 300 motor or better. maybe a ex02 chassis

This is a list of the mods.
Ratzas chassis and T plate
Ratzas Rear Deck w/ shock and springs
HPI: moded 45t motor
Golden horizons: Alum Pulley
Golden horizons Ball diff.
Golden horizons one way diff
Golden horizons Alum Upper Bulk
Golder Horizons: Front Shocks
alum steering knuckles: I think hot bodies
HPI: Steel dogbones
HPI: rera ball diff
HPI: Steel pinion set
Front lower a arm alum. either Golden horizons, or hot bodies. not sure
aluminum rear pod: pretty sure it was Hot Bodies
HiTech HS-81MG servo
Futaba MC230CR Speed Control
Futaba R133F receiver
2Unknown 6cell

Looking good!
Seems as if toy have all your bases covered as far as parts go. They are wicked fast and can be hard to control at first especially coming down from a Maxx. There little beasts are all about skill rather than brute force.

To accurately run a micro it helps to have a fully programmable radio.

I use to run some 1/10th scale cars long ago. but been in to nitro for awhile.

what radio would you recommend? medium end nothing Way fancy but not a cheepie.

I have the new Futaba 2PL...fully adjustable, and cheap on the wallet. You can program it for up to 10 models, and save all settings. I use it for my micro, and nitro cars...you might want to check it out.

Looks very nice. I have been very happy with my JR XS3. It is 75Mhz Synth. Additional receivers are a little pricey but well worth it IMO.
