Default Subaru Impreza WRC 2008

I have a ton of dirt around my apartment with all the new construction going on, so I needed to build a good fast basher. I want to keep this thing lightweight, and fast as hell.

So, I picked up a few goodies for it. Got most of this from Corey at RPP Hobby.

Steering: Savox SC-1258TG (fast response time)
Motor and Speedo: Losi Xcelorin 17.5T brushless with CC BEC

The Losi combo wont be here for a couple weeks, as I bought it used off of another member here....screamin deal BTW.

Now for some simple starter pics. I got so excited yesterday when it arrived, I got it together as fast as I could. As you can see, I have the stock motor in there, and will mount the stock ESC tomorrow...this will get me through until my Losi setup comes.

Thanks mate. I cant wait to get it out in the dirt. The cool thing is, I will leave for my wife's home town on Wednesday, and it is like old town China with tons of rocks and dirt. You can bet I am bringing this Impreza and my Yota 1.9.

Man, I bolted up the Losi Xcelorin 13.5 brushless setup with the 29 tooth pinion gear, running a 3S 2200 mAh 20C battery, and a BEC. This stupid thing is REDICULOUS!

I will get some video.. It needs to be seen.
