|  hotwheels000 72 blazer
I used a 72 blazer body that has been disco'd for 25 years or so,it was built in the 80's to mimick my 1:1.I have had it on display ever since.Finally a R/C that I utilize it on  I eliminated most of the un-needed plastic stuff like the spur gear cover,battery tray, and esc case.relocated the battery and esc.Added weight to the wheels etc..... The body was bobbed in the rear, I was able to retain the inner fender wells but had to ditch the interior until I can buikld a proper scale frame with cantilever shocks and a transfer case.The hood opens to access the battery. I can run the stock Nimh or my 400 mh lipos in that location.  |

Just got back from the hardware store.3/8 glav lock washers fit nicely inside the wheel around the hex all you need to do is bend them flat.A stop at the hobby shop and I now have all the materials for a ladder type frame. I will be using brass rectangle hollow stock for the rails and flat stock for the x-members.... Shes ging to kill me building this at the condo on vacation  well, that and she was buying me one for x-mas also, oh well, guess I will have 2 of them |

Ran it for 20 minutes on a 300mh 20c lipo Shut it down and put it on the charger,I am curious as to how many milliamps it will take to charge to full. I dont trust the lipo campatable stock esc,not sure if it has cut off and untill I order more of these little lipos i dont want to toast one.Much better wheel speed and oesnt dump/drain like the stocker after a few minutes. |
