Dude, that looks so mean and sinister- I love it.

Jeremy1976 11.26.2007 12:03 PM

Eddy, please do get some video up!!!

FastEddy 11.26.2007 12:14 PM

Soon as its done.
Im still trying to decide what to do about batteries. Its the only part so far that I haven't made up my mind on.

I need to get this project out of the way so I can start on my Baja SS show truck for RCX this spring.

FastEddy 11.28.2007 01:31 PM

Getting a little farther on my build.
Need to do a little steering linkage work, get some pinions, and batteries.

I hooked up 2 4000 maxamps that I have here for other cars just to check it out. Fired right up and sings like a bird.

Im running the RPM all the way around along with their knuckles and bumpers.

Im amazed no one has commented on the wing.

Well????
Find one, what color?

Just started my next project. Instead of anodizing with limited color selection Im going powder coat. Lots of masking to do because of the thickness of the PC, and Im sure some grinding will be needed as well.

Doing my Baja SS in Blaze neon orange.
Just sent it over the the PC yesterday.

Lots of winter projects going on for me.

nl12 11.30.2007 03:23 PM

Have you ever scene camo anodizing? http://www.absolutefinish.com/camouflauge.htm It would make a sick looking truck.

FastEddy 11.30.2007 05:19 PM

NICE!!!
It would have went well for this build.

but when i do it i will also get all my crt.5 stuff done at the same time


that baja is sweet, must be great fun with the paddles

FastEddy 11.30.2007 08:18 PM

Not my build. It belongs to a friend Neal from the UK. He came all the way out here for an event we helped sponsor for the Baja in Yuma AZ a few weeks back.

RCX magazine came out and covered the event. It will be in Feb Issue.

Here are some photos that another photographer took.

:oh:oh::oh::gasp::surprised::eyes:

WOW, thats AWESOME! It needs a NEU (because its black) And a MGM to run it:mdr: And then some black shrink on what ever batts, a black RX ETC:intello: Is that a RC8 wing?

FastEddy 12.03.2007 05:51 PM

Im able to black out most things but Im not going to go hog wild on the electronics.

The wing is 5th scale from an HPI Baja 5B.

BlackedOutREVO 12.03.2007 05:57 PM

WOW, I thought it looked darn big!

nl12 12.05.2007 09:40 PM

I am going to copy off this project, I think it turned out sweet, it inspired me to black out some more of my CRT too.
