| Yes cap, full 2 mega pixel cam! one charge and good to go for upto 2 hours! Right bit undecided on rims.... Like to ask ur advice guys! but first a small F stop for image... right the orange/red team pogi rims... Set of "rays" it think... Then the rims off the pug.... then the HSP rims... and which ever rims I fit they are gonna have T-drift tyres. I have managed to get front camber arms fitted, except they aint really camber arms will its sits at the right height that im using the adjuster for the roll bar for camber arms, im not using the roll bar now as it is messed up as shocks too far out for it really. so Its all worked out, just need to fit the rear camber arms now... but id say its almost done! oh yeah i locked the rear diff today too, but not looked at front yet! | |

| well these RC ones anyway peaches! got some TE37s for the S15! (<<<<sounds like a formula ) so 0mm up front and 6mm on rear! and they seems to fit,just 1-2mm outside the shell! so thats a win to me | |

| yeah cap its half the fun setting it up!
well the main chassis (silver car and pink car bodies go on it) was only £80 to buy but with all the upgrades its now more like a £200+ car!
it was set up for Touring Car racing but with Drift tyres from factory. I have set it up for drifting properly.....
upgraded the motor to a high end brushless (less drag) motor, so more speed and less power used to get that speed too, so longer run times!
its massively quicker than factory now! just need to tweak the camber of the wheels (how much they lean in or out)
and i wanna go see what the new shell looks like out in the sun! vid soon! | |

| I got this monster off my brother. Its a kids toy really but looking at its guts, i can stick some proper radio gear in there i think with not too much of a pain in arse! ok so its only 2WD and at mo its on or off, no speed control at all! and steering is quite poor! and for a scale of this monster! its fast as hell! | |

| UH OH.... bug chassis has bit dust look see..... this damage to rear was caused by hitting a garage door head on, so not sure why rear broke and it was caused by, well steering fault! see the camber arm mount busted right off! But good news is new chassis arrived and will rebuild it over weekend! | |

| right rebuilt the bug in new chassis casings! servo centred, this is the old chassis: ooops, know where issue is now! new plastics! must be new revision as...... all in bits Im happy with rebuild but think the blue tack has moved in the rear diff as its no longer locked. | |

| Right so ok I didnt paint it or take roof off! I do not take credit for that! So i removed the driver and cockpit as in transit it had sort of come loose anyway.... Im gonna paint up the driver and detail interior a bit as i have a dash kit here that was gonna go in the S15 but this could be a better cause! the inerior is going back in, also I need to move my radio, see pics below! and gonna finish the rear seat build a friend started! so its fully incased, full interior! Im loving it m8! here it is on my HSP chassis with a set of HPI TE37s and T-drift copy drift tyres! | |

| Right so I have got the rear of the Chevy as I want it..... LOW! so here it is: front is too high, so will sort that soon too... and then need to make the front into a flip nose! dont think i can get much of an model engine in there as TL-01 has huge chassis casings..... | |
