Kyosho beetle build

I love the scorpion so much I wanted a partner for it. This just arrived. I plan to pair these with identical electronics (GoolRc 3100 combos) and sand drag race them through camp in one of my favorite camping spots in the Mojave Desert. 

Just one extra reason to drink a beer with some friends.

These chassis are really beautiful.

They are indeed a beautiful chassis in bare form, a shame to cover it up with all the electrics etc

Check out Cha-ching racing on Facebook. I might not be putting the plastic tub on...

Ron at Cha-Ching might be putting together a cage for me soon. It will be awesome to see a cage Through the windows! Until then I finished it up. Will have to decide on color today.

 

While I wait for the motor and ESC combos from China I decided to install a vxl-3s ESC and a trinity caliber 19t brushed motor. Reverse off because traxxas ESCs are lame and 100% reverse with no stopping in between forward shreds drivetrains. This car flys. I installed the included smaller gear ratio. I wish I could get an adjustable reverse like the castle ESC on castle link. I also purchased a XP2G radio and 4channel receiver off eBay for 30$ shipped. I like the adjustment on this radio and for less then a MT-4 receiver I am happy.

I swapped the yellow wheels out for the aluminum style from the scorpion.

looking good, another kit I'm really looking forward to.  Kyosho is really nailing it with their re-re's.
