I had been watching that as well but was taken aback by the appearent damage to the left front. How bad is it??

[durb69]

Unfortunately I didn't notice the damage until I received it. But it isn't that bad. The screw pulled thru the top side and it was repaired pretty well. I sanded it smooth ish... and just went with it. I was going to restore it and then sell it but I am kinda attached now. I might use this project to machine a custom chassis for the first time. Just need to come up with the design and order the carbon plate. I am still experimenting with these cars as I am new to them really. I have an LSO that I have had since I was 15 or so but I never raced it before.
I am basically a novice all the way around even though I've owned rc cars for 25 years or so.

Well, I think you've done a GREAT job rebuilding it. The blue looks very nice with the aluminium brace. Thanks for sharing.

I experimented with tire truing yesterday also. Trued them down to almost nothing and installed an onyx 14 turn double 20.5 AWG motor. I am hoping this thing screams!

[scr8p]

just as a heads up, your esc does have a motor limit and if i remember correctly what that is, you're just over it. not saying anything is gonna happen, but.....

[durb69]

Oh wow! Thanks! Ill research that! I downloaded the manual yesterday but didn't look at it yet.

[durb69]

It can be used with any motor stock or modified with any number of turns! Sweet

[scr8p]

hmm........ i always thought the t4 had a 15t limit.

[TerryC]

According to this there is no minimum number of turns.

I checked out the specs on this ESC when I was looking at one on eBay.
I never bought it, too close to the two Novaks I already have (410 M-5).

Durb69, that car looks amazing, great job!

[durb69]

Thanks terry! I just installed some gold rim wheels I got in a recent ebay lot. They required some modification on the inside diameter to fit. Nothing a few min on the lathe couldn't fix I also trued them way down. They where huge! I think they finish the look of the car nicely.
