No, rule maker would be correct.

He's the kind of person who finds loopholes, then has rules created to stop him :)

"1. basically unmodified stock or aftermarket body kit"
I was using an unmodified stock body kit.... only the windows are down... Nobody ever said the windows had to be up ;) . You need to make a new rule.
"2. stock Battery setup any 4 AAA batterys allowed "
I've got some special AAA battery's, wanna be more specific. See, I'm being nice and tell you I was going to be sneaking so you can add a rule BEFORE I do something. Limit to 1.55v and 2200mah and I'd be happy.

Rules are no fun....I say Run What You Brung! :twisted:

how bad do you wanna be beaten then :twisted:
i can kill you buy a car or half the track. which will it be? if anyone wants to go balls to teh wall i have no problem with it. the rules we came up with were jsut to stop someone from throwing $400 into a car right away.
for this race, we can follow these rules, next time the gloves come off. :)

Hey if you've got the money to blow on it like that go for it. But don't be shocked when guys with half as much invested start winning. I could see Prevo building the fastest car for under $200

so whats the latest guys? Whos still in and what body are you running? Ive got the vette body for now and am ready to go with spare parts on the side if needed :)

you are all sick in the head....all of you.

why? because our 1:28 scale cars powered by 4 AAA batteries are currently faster then your 1:1 scale Camaro powered by a sb v8? :rofl:

That and a few other things...

looks like i won't be able to host anything here for a while. the "minor" rearrangement of teh basement has turned into a full blown refinishing job. i get to build walls, install a door, run electric......
no way it will be done in time or even have a large enough space clear to run.

sorry

I might be in if we find another place. My lithiums still haven't shown up so I'd still be legal for this month. Although I've been making custom body mods that are adding weight instead of reducing it....that can't be good for business. Also with my AWD and only the stock 4AAA's that will hurt my performance as well.

that blows :(

Are these things really that much fun? I'm deffinatly interested becuase of how you guys are nuts for em and after checkin out those xmod links.

So should i go out and buy these things, they worth it?

Tony if you have a big enough space inside it's fun. I took mine out on my driveway last week and the asphalt is way too bumpy for these things. They are too small to handle much more than a smooth surface. Low shag carpet isn't bad either.

too bad my basement is sooo torn up. the painted concrete hooks great nad there are just enough bumps to keep the driver honest :)

I got my parts from Atomicmods today! CF driveshaft, new slicks, wide bearings, wheel shims, and a new front axle.

Gotta work on the computer before the Xmod though :(

- Justin

STILL OBSESSED!!!!

yah i got a couple of cf shafts, tires and awd kit...I'll probably hold out on the other stuff for a while.

My Lithium Pro-Kit finally showed up yesterday. Got the car apart last night when I got home from work at 9:15 (damn 13 hour days). I'm hoping to drill the chassis over lunch and do the electronics work on it tonight.

Next on the list: Bearings, wheel spacers, tight turns mod.

I'm trying to figure out exactly how to do the tight turns mod....I have the resistors, but they are smaller than his pictures made them seem to be. Gonna have to find a soldering iron with a very fine point.

- Justin

Did you order the kit from atomicmods or did you just pick up resistors from your local electronics store? I'm thinking resistors from the local store will be easier to install. I could care less if they look a little more crowded in there. It's all contained under the body anyway.

I paid the couple of bucks to get them from atomicmods because I couldn't make out from his pics or find elsewhere what resistors to use. I may just attach them to short lengths of wire and then solder the wire to the board.

- Justin

Yeah those suckers are tiny. I'm gonna use regular resistors and just splice them into the wires that go directly into the servo. I also want to tighten up my tie rods but don't want to buy billet pieces. I think I'm going to try slipping wire insulation them to take up the slop.

your **** should really fly with those lith ion batteries...what motor are you running? What body do you have? Did you get the quick kit or the std kit? i cant imagine how fast it w ould be in comparison right now i can flip mine on a quick turn i cant imagine what you could do going ~10+ mph faster lol

I have the 9 tooth S2 motor in it right now. I'm running the 67 Camaro body with the body kit add ons, a custom made front spoiler with fog lights, and the LED kit. I made the spoiler and fogs because I knew I wanted the LED's, but I also like the Ralley Sport front clip with the hide aways.

I haven't had my car running on a big enough flat floor yet to really see how fast it was on stock batteries. I'm looking forward to gettin the Lithium's in tonight and taking it to my girlfriends dorm this weekend. There are some nice long hallways for testing top speed.
