Kind of used to over motorized cars
i will ofcourse use custom made carbonfibre bodymounts. And im aware it will be kind of difficult to drive, in that case, il throw in a bonded 7.5r . I will use a Lexan body, the stock one will i save =).May i as, how does it handle with a 15?. maybe if it is so hard to drive, il get a 13.5 ? "stock bl"
-
Ok, so i took the motor today...my choice fell on a Novak motor, the new one with Sintred (this is used,some scratches, but ok) rotor.a 6.5r will be good.
First some Mr Muscle bath, to remove the most of the Purple color..
Middle ring is done..
And the result..enjoy!

any chance to see some pic on that installation mymonsterbeetleisbroken ? =)
EDIT Can someone kind massure the steering link/rod length ?

Final update for this day...Shock nr2 (the one that i only brushed)..think Dremel and a tube of Autosol can do some miracles
-
1st off, im from Sweden, my English aint so good, and i hope ya all can understand some of what i will wright here..can someone post a link with the code so i can do the pics SMALLER, thank you
To make a long story, short. My first ever rc-car was a Tamiya Wildwilly got it back in -82 still have it...DRY rubberwheels
. No electronics, but someday...i will restore it.I have always wanted a LB, a friend had one back in the 80s and there it started...so for a few days ago, i did it..i ordred the LB from Honkong, but before everything, i read a lot of the car on rcuniverse, and here. Still a lot of unanswered questions, but hopfully they will come
. Since im in to racing 95% of my rc time, i have a need for speed.. (2wd and 4wd buggy El 1:10th). But this one, wont come near the performance my buggys will give me, i wil only build this one for fun, and to have anything to play with..kind of missed it a bit..
I hope to "pimp" it so much i can, and do some job on the handling...a major order from Towerhobbies will go on Tuesday. Will use Brushless spedo from LRP and a motor, around 6-7.5r and Lipo 4400mah for some runtime..
This is a copy from my project thread in Sweden..enjoy and il try to keep ya all updated.
Thomas P / back to basic
?Tires and rims...
Bought Hornet AluHEX, they will let me try some diff 12mm Hex rims... i have or will order thoose..
RPM Bully rear/front (5mm axel r det, d r har vi Traxxas NR som e bra)
Traxxas Front Light wheel Dyable Truck
Rims above wil be shrouded with Proline rubber
Batteries are as i said erlier, not decided yet, but it will probably be E-Power lipo 4400 mah 2s 20-30C series
My goal with this isnt speed , only joy..it will have a custom painted Parma lexan body for use, and a "nicer" stock body for meeting...

sorry to steele this thread, but what extra pinions, or brand is rekomended for the LB?, i know it is a little odd vs the regular 48P (Lois,AE etc) can someone link me to a good store of pinions for the LB? i have a major order from Towerhobbies on tuseday, so that store would be great if someone can give me a link to Tamiya LB pinions
thanks

The Box, was shrouded with some stock tires and rims...just to see how it handles vs the Trac-Ta-Gator from proline...And man, what a difference, the car not just wider, it can even slide
..that was impossible with the Trac rubbers. I dont use any Foam in the tires and i think it handles real good.
Dirty...
