Restored Champion’s Edition

[Dumanyu]

After 4-5 months of building I finally got my CE up and running. She’s sporting a brushless/ 2s LiPo and she is quick. Now if I can set her up so she doesn’t blow over at full throttle lol. She currently has a 6-gear transmission but I’ve acquired a Stealth tranny, which I’ll be installing this weekend.

Welcome aboard and thanks for posting pics of your CE.
Have you owned the car very long, what was the overall condition and was it a challenge to get up and running?

I had it about 5 months and while it was, for the most part, whole, it was grubby and rusty. I replaced most of the steering assembly, the shocks and had to drill a new place for the camber turnbuckles (also replaced) because the steering was binding. Not insurmountable problems. Added up to date electronics and mounted the body (which was a pain). In truth it was a longer process to restore my Edinger.

Once you have the Stealth installed I think you'll be able to tune its slipper clutch to keep the front wheels planted.

That’s the plan. I’ve also lowered the front of the body shell to keep a little less wind from lifting her. We shall see.
