Lhodgo, Yes, you can simply cut off and replace the connector with whatever you want. I'd try to match up the ESC plug to the battery since it looks to be the better plug. The old molex plugs are not very good, I run a 3000Mah NiMh sport battery in mine and it runs well.

Two threads have been merged on page 1 to keep things tidy.

Bad etiquette / possibly rule breaking to question moderation in public, best to PM a mod and ask the reason for the merge.

Nice car though.

I found a little adapter plug from a battery set. Worked a treat. Just tested the buggy on the street out the front...oh...my...god! My face nearly blew off with enjoyment. So fast.

Body cut and fitted. I was a little disappointed with the lexan thicknesses towards the lower perimeter of the body shell but once the bottom section was fitted it's come up a treat.

Definitely box art. Every time I try my own thing I instantly regret it even if it looks good.

I did my super hotshot in gun metal and it looks great but still not as good as box art grey.

Just plain old tamiya silver. Isn't it hot? it came up so nice. Benefit of lots of thin coats I guess.

I just can't resist. I admire NIB collectors, I could never do it.

Well, I've had a crack at putting a driver in my egress. It's knowhere near the quality of Fuigo's efforts in my post:

Although for my skill level I think this works ok? I certainly like having the driver in all my buggies so Hairy Ogre gets the big thumbs up in my opinion.

Thumbs up from me.

It looks fine and fits nicely. It's also nice to see some variety in what other people come up with.

It is a bit of a fiddle to get it all to fit nicely around all the electrics isn't it?
