I've picked up a few of those rides on the bay myself. They sure can be nastly.

Even when you get a clean one it seems its been sprayed with some sort of cleaning fluid and you have to tear the car down to clean this stuff out of all the nooks and crannies.

I'll be interested to see your before and after pics. Can we expect to see a carbon fiber chassis on this one when your done?

its at the mill as we speak. well, i have the truggy here but my carbon fiber and chassis drawing is at the machine shop. still waiting on the rc8t though. i will test that first and if the carbon survives torture then fab will begin on the Mugen. kinda have to wait on my machine guy. if it were my equipment they would be done. it will probably still be a week or two before i get to the Mugen for sure.

hey Star,
i just saw your RC8t thread. it looks good. that is a very unique layout. cool idea where you put your brakes. so do you run a hybrid brake setup?

yep, just a touch of motor brakes with rear mechs dialed in to my linking. (sorry linc I meant liking)
Like I mentioned before though, I always seem to get better lap times when I run with no brakes at all
