The problem with the nova and many other bodies, is the front end catches a lot of air and deforms past 50-55 mph. A body mounted splitter will make this worse. Mount the front of the body as far forward as possible and brace the area behind the grill with foam.

It doesn't give any downforce on the rear, but it doesn't have any bad habits. Big part of that is how its mounted on the front. Front has zero flex so the body can't do anything weird on the topend. This is my backup car so I havent put as much time into tuning it, but its doing a to b passes in th...

Just finished the paint on my drag bug.

Fully charged, your lipo is more like 4.2 volts and if your nimh battery was exhausted, its possible that you were dipping below that very soon after turning the car on. Nimh batteries start dropping off in voltage rapidly the moment you start running them, even when new. Lipos drop voltage much slo...

Trying to picture it in my mind. That was a looooong time ago. Haha. None of those look familiar.

I don't remember any Tamiya cars in that case, but I do remember seeing my first nitro car there. The cox .049 cars

Perfect. Very similar machine to what I have. They work great.

Making the transition from nicad/nimh baterries to lipo can be confusing and seemingly complicated and the horror stories will only serve to raise the blood pressure even more. The best advise I could give, is to invest in a decent charger. I use an Ultra Charger UP100AC Plus. Cost me about $60. The...

I don't believe that's possible. Max volts per cell is a about 4.2v. 7.54v or 3.77 per cell is on the low side of a storage charge. 3.83-3.84 being an ideal storage charge per cell.

The history of Van Halen brings back all kinds of memories from throughout my youth. From rocking the air guitar as a kid and getting excited every time they released a new album throughout my school years. I remember how upsetting it was when Roth left the band, but Hagar quickly grew on me. I was ...

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, anyone?

I still remember when that album came out. I was in high school and my friend and I would drive around in his chevy s10 blasting that album. Good times.

My first attempt at a distressed flag paint scheme. Murica!

The spaz stix chrome is by far the best for a "true chrome" result. Spaz stix paints have the best pigments on the market, but beware, unless it's a shelf queen, the chrome paint will chip and flake right off with any kind of impact. A close second for chrome is Tamiya ps-48 semi-gloss sil...
