Well, That was a new one on me....
I had to stop the video because I was having either ESC issues or my Radio was having a shit-fit (I doubt it)... Near the end of the video, the buggy would still go forward even with my finger off the throttle (it kept running for nearly 2 seconds), Maybe a receiver issue, time will tell...
The fresh air intake pipe was made from an antenna pipe, bent with heat and it just sits in place (not glued or screwed in).
Its all stock, build as you would from the manual, to the tee..
The esc is a Tamiya TBLE-04S, its the only esc I have that would fit. All my old school ESC's are too big and/or too tall to fit.
Now, for the monkey in the house, the paint work: It's a 10 foot paint job all day long. The inner wheel wells (inner fenders), I painted the black "vent" with a very old brush because it was a brush I could toss out when I was done (one of my Daughters old brushes), I the reason wht I chose that was because I am out of thinner (I tried cleaning Tamiya Acrylic paint with water like the jars say "cleans up with water" Bullshit, Sure, it cleans but not all the way, so its a sloopy paint job...
The Battery I am using I bought to use in my Black Edetion Clod and that is a Zeee 3600 mAh NiMH pack (Amazon). Its been many years the last time I bought a NiMH battery pack, and last I knew, the larger the capacity, the bigger the pack, and heavier they get, 3600 is big enough for what I do with them. Plus, I know it should fit in just about everything I have if need be.
I know a said you dont need a 35kg servo (or 486 oz/in of torque), but thats whats in the buggy, with it turned down to @ 30% both left & right via the transmitter. I had plans the use a 12kg low profile servo but low pro servos dont really fit or work well in this chassis (at least the one I have didn't).
Sorry about the piss poor audio....
OK, I'm done, Thanks for the eyes and do leave a comment or ask anything about this video, I'll do my best to answer.....
