anyone?

Its as basic as a pan car gets really, Pinion is what ever pitch the spur is, the steering servo goes between the front wheel with a directlly mount servo saver, Just taped in should be fine. Use a ESC. It will never preform very well by pan car standards,but should be fun to drive and look at.

If you want more details post pictures with the body off and I can help you more.

trying to figure out what pinion to use mainly...also wondering how you have mounted the hemi?

let me check tonight and come back.

Get a 48-pitch pinion, nice and small (14-16 tooth), and a big roll of servo tape. Literally everything in the car, including the hemi motor, is just stuck down with tape. I have a standard 540 silver-can in mine, and it's plenty of power.

Here's where I have everything mounted in mine:

Don't expect miracles from this car, though. It's stupid-fast in a straight line, barely turns at all at any speed above a crawl, and has virtually no brakes. Good times indeed! Give yourself plenty of room with this one.
