Cool stuff. Props to the builder of Heltoy, some nice tubework.

Got a link for any buildup pics and specs?

The Hellfire is awesome.. A friend of mine built it by using custom gears.. Transmission was from twin force. It has s-size motor but it's torgue is almost perfect. The Hellfire still needs some more speed and it will be perfect. Personally I love the rollbar .

At the moment I am working on TT Ek-4 S2 BL. I made a motor mount myself but the gear ratio was too high. The other problem was that spur and pinion were both metal what is not recommendable. I've planned to buy R2 trans. It's min gear reducion is 2,35:1 compared with Ek4's stock reducion. If everything goes well, I might have it in action in our next comp. Anyway, there are some things I'm scared of, fe the R2 could be too small for the Feigao 8Xl. What do you think?

One of my team mates has the Hobao Hyper 7 BL but it also has problems with too high gearing.. He is going to buy 2:1 GRU from rc4wd. It should solve the problem.

I will upload some pics soon.. I will let you know when the time is right. ( sorry for my long and grammatically terrible post )
