Theibault

It was a gorgeous day and I had it off! I'm waiting on my EXO, Super Hotshot, and Avante BS to arrive (did I mention I hate waiting!!!), so took the opportunity to go practice some more drifting with my VDF. http://youtu.be/ylpWcCTcsAI Enjoy and feel free to subscribe to my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/theibault .

I just meant it as a play on your name.

. That's a good deal. Got an F201 NIB and every week I open the box to build it, and then I change my mind lol. To bad your charger isn't a 956 .

Finally finished my VDF after having it for a year and took it out for a spin. http://youtu.be/KnU6UaWOpok

That box...takes me back to being 13. Was and still is my favorite car. Can't wait to build it again.

Had some fun today. It's all stock, broke a lower shock mount and bent both shock towers lol. Enjoy and please subscribe to my channel! http://youtu.be/psFZ1oXqs9Y

32 cars and 2 tanks. All get run with the exception of my RS4nitro racer as that is kind of taco'd due to the last time I ran it...into a curb. Some may get run only once or twice a year, but it all depends on my mood. Wish I had some RC friends, then I'd do theme weeks for different chassis etc. I decided a few years ago that this would be my main hobby. I've had many hobbies and interests over the years, but RC has been the one constant in my life since I was 12 (38 now). I no longer ride motox, play video games, table top miniatures, or any of the other money sinks. I just love RC almost as much as my family. I guess its in my blood and many of the peoples here on the forums. Eventually, when I pass, people will wonder what to do with all the RC cars lol. Hope they get run .

The system in my SC104x4 is the Sidewinder ESC. I have found that I can gear my truck to the moon and the motor barely gets warm, so I zip tied the motor fan on the esc. After a 6min main, the esc hits 120-130f and the motor maybe gets to 140. The castle motor will be fine up till the high 160s. Per Castle, I make sure not to exceed 170f. The esc has thermal protection, but I've never gotten it hot enough to have it kick in. I just bought a Mamba Max Pro and I'll be running that with the 1410 motor in my Axial EXO as soon as that arrives. Should be about another week or so. So excited to bash with that buggy. I'll definetly have video on my YouTube channel so keep an eye out for it. Speedy, hope you are enjoying yours as much as I like mine.

tl;dr What are we all talking about? Yes, I love my sophmoric sense of humor. That should close this thread now. (Not really, watch) Where's the turd polish?

Had some extra onboard from the GoPro. http://youtu.be/DR0A6kWSO_M

They are great fun. Drop in a decent brushless, that stock motor is rubbish. I'm running a Speed Passion Shourtcourse Master and 11.5 brushless that cost me $100. Even geared up to a 20T pinion for speed, it can still pull a wheelie. I meant to also take my Mini8 out but I left it in the gargae. Oh well, better than leaving the radio lol.

Thanks. It was a great day off doing my two most favorite things, RC and shooting/editing videos. I guess that's three .

I had a day off and took the SCB to the bike track. http://youtu.be/ilLwAdUGVPs

Let us know how it runs. If possible post a video of the madness.

I have to say I like it. I'm a fan of non box art paint, and that thing is pretty cool looking and unique.

I run this combo in my race SC104x4 and it is a missle! It has no problem keeping up with others running 4.5 550 motors. This motor has an unbelievable amount of torque. I think your DF02 will pull wheelies. The top speeds are amazing as well. I'm thinking of getting a second combo to use in my bashers. Very happy with this combo. Make sure you gear right and keep an eye on your temps. The motor runs supper cool, so I zip tied the included motor fan over the ESC. It's a perfect fit but you may also want to sticky tape it to the sides. I did have it get askew on zip ties alone after some hard landings.

How about the Vajra?

Try charging at 2.5A based on batt capacity. The charger might not be seeing the proper peak.

^^^ This please!

You can still buy them as new kits and there is quite an aftermarket for them. Use google and you'll find some upgrades according to where you are. I have a soft spot for these and I've been wavering on making a purchase.

It appears that there is still something amiss in that last pic and I can't put my finger on it. Here's a shot of mine. Hope it helps. EDIT: I think you have your steering knuckles on wrong. It appears as if the L is on the R and vice versa. Look from the side, they should appear to slope up, not down. It's causing the steering links to then be too short, hence the toe out.

Me too!!! I am going to beat this car to within an inch of it's life. This was my absolute favorite car when I was younger and I can't wait to drop in a brushless. I'll make videos and post them for all to see.

I'm fine with big T rereing as much as they can. It's been wonderful rebuilding kits I lost to time lol. If they do stop, I'd like to make sure they get either the 959 or Celica out before they do end the run.

Any news on this? The suspense is killing me!

Mine at this time is my CR01 but I don't drive it , my buddy does while I wheel my SCX10. RC is more fun with friends lol.
