Hey , So this is my first post im new to this forum but here you guys / girls go ... The Chassis , I bought a cheapo from RcGeeks, £105 i wanted something not way to far out for a first timer.. BBS Scale Rims 1/10 26mm , 6mm O/S Running some yokomo Drift tyres from Ebay £7.99 Corolla levin ae86 shell , on a budget most of the stickers left over from the santa pod trip a few months back , i used Gloss paint instead of a spray can like plasti cote , no one would tell the difference, and i installed an LED kit Made from LEDS of computer fans i had laying around and a battery cell rigged up with a charger all from an old phone. The Back Diff Is locked , Front Is open , Cambered the front Wheels Negative with slight TOE OUT, Back wheels left standard as they were toe in slightly, 22t Motor and the esc is up to a 13t all standard at the moment Fitted the Touring Wheels ( Ferrari Enzo Style Wheels 26mm 7 mm O/s ) ( Yokomo Touring tyres i think ) What do you think?
i will bare that in mind , I was thinking that it needs it , will look in to it as i found this thread > http://www.driftworks.com/forum/rc-drift/174279-maverick-strada-cheapo-lock-mod.html
Dont run the filter paper since it will dim them and then just look a little too basic. I would look at using some Wrap Up Next tinting film. I used them on my Mark X. You can either run it on the inside of the body or wrap it around the light bucket. Here is what I did. I first stuck it to the inside of the shell. Before After A little while later I wrapped the bucket instead so it gives a cleaner look depending on the shape of the buckets/body. Its not that expensive but I suppose if you have some friends who can get their hands on some lamin-x or any sort of tint film you could get the same results. You honestly dont need much and looks much more realistic.
im following this as i run basically the same conf for my first rc. and miniteshi this before/after shot looks the nuts !
