It turned out nice Theo! really like the slideshow you made......

Great work Jim! I looked through the manual you scanned for us....this car seems to be a "must have" Martin

still need to save some more $$...but have a 4ch radio, good ESC, high torque servo waiting for it....ooooooh man...this is tempting.......I think the long wait for the release is making me want it even more [6]

You will probably need 1 forward and 1 reverse motor since they will be turning in different directions.... (timing) or a set of motors with 0 degrees timing just like the stock motors....otherwise 1 motor will be more efficient then the other and it will run hotter/energy loss/lower speed etc.... Martin

Does the transmission come pre-assembled? (I hope not) kit looks great...I need to start saving!

Cool thread and nice artwork! free to use mine if you can make something out of it..... Martin

had to laugh so loud till my sides hurt, it was like I was stung by a hornet....[]

I still think his April's fool joke last year was better [][] just pulling your chain mate.....you know we all (or at least most of us) appreciate all your hard work. Martin.

Jim, I thought that was "matt racing blue" [] Martin

pic is a bit dark... but see here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...7467&id=947 and/or read here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/xforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7604 (post from almost 3 years back) Martin

Something like this you mean... [] http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...128&sid=947 This is probably the only car I will never sell...it has a history and it is so much fun to run.

[] Don't worry 3 posts ago you didn't even know about the delay??? [*-)][8-)] I never said "I did not know about the delay" I simply posted "Not sure where your getting that from? I see no mention of a delay on that page." because the link given was Bad Request Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. If you want to worry about it feel free... I was simply telling you not to worry. next time I will keep my trap shut and let you worry. Please do so, I worry more with the often wrong infos from Tamiyausa, if I need ambigoous answers like you gave several in this thread, I can go to a fortuneteller, its always easy to say I know but I won't/can't tell you, rather don't say anything at all then (since anyway your "news" always came in second) Cheers Theo, can't we all just get along...no need react this way is there?? I guess we are all waiting impatiently for the F350 release....and a lot of assumptions have been made in this thread from day 1....don't take it all too serious...they are just TOYS!! [] Martin

this gearbox is a work of art my friend!! even if you don't succeed in your high speed quest the journey there is worth it... (also for us to look at!) Martin

I bought the chassis from the US and parted out a jugg for the drivetrain... put full bearings and TXT shocks on it and SS metric nuts and bolts. Then it went to Ben (madmonster) and I saw he sold it on ebay...I even bid on it to get it back [] Indeed funny how things go around here on TC... I had a set of LRP motors in it...I think they are 21 Turns....not sure though... I would go brushless too! I had a SS5800 set and it was great! Martin

looks familiar http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...267&sid=947 Martin

Very impressive sofar!! Martin

I admit... I am an addict.... I pressed the F5 button so much the last day my finger hurts..... good it's back []

RESPECT!!! Very nice build! Martin

"Seems a little pointless unless you do something pretty radical like a rear mounted (2WD buggy style) motor for increased traction to try and get the power down." have you ever thought of mounting the gearbox backwards....?? or is that the easy way? Fun project, just noticed it now since I don't visit the racing forum much (or at all [:$] )... Martin

Even the bodies are in similar condition [] Nice pics!

I sent you an email through TC... if it doesn't work contact me. Regards, Martin
