i wanted to give an update on my build i'm doing on a $98 shipped ebay 1/8 buggy onroad roller i bought. i'm sure most people here know about the car. anyways, i planed on uploading some pics as soon as some of my stuff starts arriving and today was the day, but i can't find the camera anywhere. my wife had it somewhere and i can't find it
so for now, i'll explain what ive done and what i've got. i'll try to get a pic up tonight if i can get my wife off her phone long enough to find the cam. so far i've taken apart the diffs front and rear and i put 7k rear and 10k front. thats the only fluids i had. i put 50wt in the shocks and changed their position to give better ground clearence just incase i scurry across the lawn here and there. i made the motor mount from a peice of 2"x2" angle aluminum. this is temp until i get my mill(then its on
). also im using the angle aluminum to fab up some battery mounts where the mud guards would normaly be on a buggy. i will line them with some rubber tool box matt for the batteries to ride on. for now, i have 2 4s1p's of a123 that'll be upgraded to 2 6s1p's in the near future. so i'll be using 26.4v for now. i'm keeping the 2speed and should see 70+ on the 8cells and over 90 on the 12 i'm hoping. for motor, i couldn't locate the first choise turn of feigao xl, so i upgraded from that which saved me $$. i got a kb45 10xl, which was cheaper, and don't need a clamp. i also got the 100a hv tower pro esc to run it. a cc bec to run my 2.4 fasst reciever and servo's. i haven't gotten the servo's ordered yet. for looks, i have an ofna mclairen.
sick looking body and looks like its going to fit the car nice. thats it for now, i'll post more with pics if i think of anything i left out.
