RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

though i would post up my newest fiero, it started on rc10talk as a basket case parts car and evolved into a race ready monster. the chassis is made from gp03 and everything was done with a dremal and a drill.

ill let the pics do the talking

wow, she came out nice!!!! cool, glad to see revived and ready for action!

thanks! i got a 27t built up nd i couldnt ask for a btter can color, its almost the same pinkish orange hue as the body and the esc ill be using, my trusty do-all novak super rooster just sweetens the setup that much more with an orange case and purple heatsinks

ill get pics up later this week

I love the Fiero stuff.

It's great to see another one saved!


FYI,

Tamiya-type front axles make great replacements for those pain in the a** e-clips.

I like the rubber tire conversion on the back wheels, I might try that on mine.

neat ive thought about going to the front hubs that the blue eagle uses but i dont swap tires enough.

on the newest one, my "hardcore" setup, im using ae hubs and spindles

i just got done running this car for the first time and i can confidently say it needs some setup. the toe is still off and the traction is non-existant even with those monster foamies's. i took my stock beater fiero out and its 10 times smoother and better handling. ill get a crappy vid up after i do some work on it

i gave myself about 1.3° (guesstimate) toe-out on both sides and swapped to the rubber treads from my beater and what a difference! it runs as good if not better than my beater even with a chipped gear on the spur and a saw blade pinion (i guess i should replace both eventualy huh?, ill wait til one or the other completely goes then swap out both) she goes like stink now even tho its slower than the 22x1 powered beater its more useable power and it ran nice and cool because of it. the turning is much more controlled and i think becase of the toe-out it tracks straiter too

could not have had it match better if i had tried



toe is er gewd
