    Default New Spring Project!!

    Well after watching some really cool bike vids, I decided it was time to add one to my collection. Fortunately for me my brother in law just happened to have this sitting on a shelf collecting dust, so I managed to talk him into giving it to me in trade for doing some wrenching on his 1/8 buggy. At this point I'm just going through the whole bike making sure everything is tight, and properly adjusted. I'm also going to do a lil customizing while I have it stripped down. Here are some pics as it sits right now.

    I will probably go brushless with it in the very near future. I will practice a lil longer before making it go any faster. A lipo battery is gonna be going in it right away though.

    The battery straps to the bottom of the frame, right below the motor. In a couple of the pics you can see the velcro strap that holds it in place. It is 1/8th scale.

    I'm having fun with it. I'm anxious to get it back running, and strap some more power in it.

    I've always eyed these, as they seem like they'd be a real blast to do some parking lot racing with. What kind of BL setup are you planning?
    Is this thing still on?

    They are a blast to drive once you get the hang of it. I have talked to a few guys that are very happy with Novak Mongoose systems in their bikes, so I'm leaning towards the 13.5 setup.

    Got a few bits painted, and new tires mounted up today. Also got the free mods all done. Have a few more plans in mind for more detailing, but need to pick up some more paints. Will post more pics as it comes along.

    Thanks. I'll put them back on before I run it again just to save the body from the abuse of my learning curve lol

    Come on you know you want to take it on the highway and race some cars in between traffic.Just like the real ones. Looks awesome though how hard are they to wark on though they seem cramped?

    Lol that would probably be a blast for a few minutes . It is a lil bit tight on space, but all in all it's pretty easy to wrench on.
