Kaa-Chowww!!!
It's my local car club's christmas trophy night this week and wanted to race something a little different, saw this Lightning McQueen for £14.99 and took a few estimated measurements for fitting on my Xray T1M and parted with my cash!
Once home i discovered that the wheelbase on McQueen was too short by 15mm and thought that i wouldn't be able to get it to fit after all.
After a bit of latteral thinking, i removed the rear arms and turned them upside down which gave me just about the wheelbase i needed.
Going to try and connect his moveable eyes up to another servo so his eyes move with the steering.
Not to sure on how he'll handle!!
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
Which way to the shops?

my son loves cars, he has the same toy, i was thinking of trying to make it in an rc car using maybe a m03 chassis, this has prompted me to try it out, yours look great.

A bit of tinsel on the aerial and you`ll be in the Christmas spirit!
You might even give me that Ranger shell as a present! haha

Cheers guys, M03 wheelbase is same as T1M so it will also need shortening a little.
