What do you think about the mounting of the esc?? Its the only place I can put it as its too big for the right hand side

Im waiting for panther slicks for the car so I can drive it like I stole it at our carpet track at the local

I had an extra green original body was going to paint it black but that ran out so it became red. going to have black windows later

Here's mine

nothing special, just the old tank of a Master Smacker i used for the Ardent winter series, not expecting to win much with it but my aim is just to not come last. Fitted with 9t /35a ezrun system (was contemplating a 5.5/60a system), basic Futaba S3004 servo & the competition regulation mini-pin tyres on Fastrax rims (the only ones i could get to fit because of the off-set) with blue inserts, running Spektrum DX3S radio gear.

The only other changes i made were i fitted an ARE-1 spur gear (2 teeth less) because i stripped the kit one during the 1st run - (tip: don't follow the manual when meshing, put the top deck on before meshing the spur), plus i fitted a Tamiya pinion because the kit one weighs a fair bit & i've also changed the shock oil to Schumacher 30wt & fitted rubber collars inside the dampers on the shock-shaft to limit the travel to help with landing & to stop squat when i nail the throttle. I also tried springs on the rear from the Tamiya kit shocks of my DF-02 buggy. the kit springs really need to be softer as there is a lot of rebound as you land the car off a big jump, but it's just finding ones that will fit.
Plus a few changes to what the manual suggested were fitting the steering with pivot balls from the ARE-1 kit which aren't shouldered otherwise if you use the ones from the kit with the shouldered pivots, the steering linkage fouls & limits the travel.

will post a pic of the Mad-rat i've recently got when i get round to building it. I also have an Ansmann ARE-1 touring car but i won't bore you with that. ;)

1st for X2TE this week end :)

Looking good mate. To be honest you don't need a cooling fan on your esc when running 2wd. If you removed the fan would it fit on the RHS? should then give a lower C of G and more even weight distribution.

Thats what I was thinking but it being a hobbyking esc and the fact that I burt a 35A $15 dollar one after 2 runs around the track.

This esc is not much better I think being a 60A $30 one.

If I did remove the fan I think the rx and switch connectors might rub but those I can solder in place ( Thats an idea)

Ill test it as it is tomorrow at the track and ask a couple others there but would like feedback from others about not needing a fan. Not that I don't trust ya Chris just nice with more input

What motor were you running on that speedo to blow it? I know very few people who attach a fan to their 2wd speedo as overheating is rarely an issue. If it is then cutting a couple of vent holes in the shell often works - quite common in 4wd cars.

Where can I get oe of them xt2e limited edition and how much?

Thats taken from the 30th anniversary edition of radio race car international (february edition) Availiable from all good newsagents. Well in the UK anyways. :lol: I came fifth in the open class at the players 2010(although i could have been on the podium if it had not been for a breakage when trying to overtake open class champion Andy pearson :cry: Still it has to be said that was the best, most intense race I have had in a long time)

In the photos is what I am pretty much running today. The car was kit standard apart from a slight mod on the back end to get more anti-squat. Electrics wise it has a savox servo, LRP SPX (I usually run a Nosram but I left it in my spare car) LRP X12 6.5(Which is a bit hot for 2wd but it is the only 6.5 I have :lol:) and my trusty two year old team orion 4800s.

Only things I have changed since then are I am running 30 degree alloy caster blocks on the front and also a rubebits under servo weight. The X-pro was excellent at the weekend and was the only rear mounted 2wd car in the A final at West bridgford I think.

Sorry double post..

all looking very nice.Ill get some pics of my cars and the mods listed in my other post some time this week.

Heres my rides.
