I'm trying to get this guy to come out and run with us. can't wait till you finish this project.

haha wow guys. but then again, i loved my little nikko cars at the time. my very first rc car was i think a tyco or nikko revenge or something. at the time i wasn't old enough to read the name right. it was black with yellow suspinsion arms and bumper, little knoby tires, front (maybe rear too) shocks, and it transformed from a monster truck to a stadium truck. that thing was my favorite toy by far at the time. and it ran for a year or 2 before the motor had enough and finnally burned out (that shows you how much i played with that thing).

phil: i'll gladly join you when it's done! but i'm pretty sure we would have to go to that newly paved road close to ray childers elementary to get a long, smooth enough strait for it. after all, this thing had very hard tires, no shocks or anything to absorb a bump, and it's geared to go 90mph

steering linkage is in place:

This should be interesting....................

Rediculous
 

Rediculously interesting. This thing is going to be sick, but incredibly funny to watch on video.

:lol: i'm waiting to see just what happens....i dought it will get to 100 before something goes wrong, question is what and what the outcome will be :oh:

I'd bet my right testicle that it won't see 100 but it's a great crazy project

:lol: yea. that's kinda my point with this project. just something crazy, cheap, and fun to do wile i wait forever for my charger and ESC to be repaired. and i found out that the ESC is backordered so who knows when thet will get here.....

RC Dude, do you know you can click "export" on the speed calculator, and a little window pops up that allows you to copy and paste the text into your reply here?

It's a little quicker/easier than taking a picture of your screen with a digital cam and posting that.

ohhh.....:lol:.....well now i know! thanks!!
