Re: Concrete Racer ~*UPDATE*~ (04-22-07)

The flash is on in this pic..... its pretty clear if you ask me....

But its only clear cause of the natural light along with the flash. If it was just the flash, you are right.... it would be bluring, and noisy as hell.

Oh, and I deffinetly love the Lancer body on there more...sits lower, looks better! Nice little project.


Its just a point and shoot Carl Zeiss Sony Cybershot. Its a 4.1mp... Most shots are just good lighting. Some are zoomed too much which is why they are blurry in some.

And i brought back my old thread, cause why make a new one just to say the project is back?

Well, i decided not to sell this project. But its pretty much done for now. Keep an eye out though. Might be some more modifications down the line.

Re: Concrete Racer ~*UPDATE*~ (04-22-07)

Woot! Purple GPM! I love the purple GPM, it's a good color.

Personally, I like the Mitzu Shell better than the Toyota Shell. One reason, I don't like Toyota. Second reason, the Mitzu doesn't have an orange bumper. :lol:

All your upgrades look nice, and clean. So nice job installing those liths. The Rims also look nice, and glad to see you got those lug-nuts on! :lol:

By the way: Nice "Lego" table.

I stand corrected. So yeah, 700mAh for the liths going into this bugger.

Re: Concrete Racer ~*UPDATE*~ (04-22-07)

The rims look awsome on the Lancer. :) Maybe you should try black rims with a white rim. That would look pretty tight.

Re: Concrete Racer ~*UPDATE*~ (04-22-07)

um, the AAA li-ion cells are only 350mAh each, so 4 cells, with 2 in parallel would be a total of 1400mAh if im not mistaken.

Oh, and the paint is very good, and a nice color. So i might have to do that one later :lol:

Re: Concrete Racer ~*UPDATE*~ (04-22-07)

Lol. Opps? It looks like a good color, and good paint job. I don't see any Orange Peel. (No pun intended. :lol:)

What specific size cells are they going to be though? I know JDR sells the 650Mah, and the 750Mah 2s2p. What size are yours going to be?

Looks good, dude.

A few questions though:
-What Size Lithiums are you going to go with?
-Are you going to hard-solder the motor to the EP, or are you going to re-install the cover so the plugs can sit straight?
-Why do you have an orange bumper? :lol:


Im running the 2s2p AAA li-ions similer to what Jawdropracing sells. I do plan to re-install the top cover and use the stock motor mounts/plugs. And the bumper is orange, cause i painted the hood and the lenses while the bumper was drying, then realized i should have kept it silver.

Re: Concrete Racer ~*UPDATE*~ (04-22-07)

Well, another update has come out of the mess i call a workstation. But i finally got my deans in (which BTW weren't even deans to begin with, they are knock-offs). But they work, and are now installed. I took a few pics, but they are really crappy cause of the lighting in my house. So as soon as its nice out, ill take some more detailed shots. The pics are basicly of the board and battery harness i made for my lith install (which the cells are on the way for), and some work ive done to the scion body that came stock on this chassis.

Pictures






As you can see, i took the springs out of the battery holder in anticipation for the arrival of my new lith cells.

I also got confirmation on delivery for my alloy parts from dinball, so they will be here in the next 7-14 days. And my liths should be here by friday.

Enjoy

I would, but im in love too much with the gunmetal. I might respray the fenders though. Because RS did a really crappy job painting them, so a little of the grey plastic is showing through in some spots.

Thanx for the comments guys.
