Sorry, I was wrong in the above post, its actually a 45t lathe. Well I got everything in and wired up, and I ran into some major problems. So what my problem is might be able to be fixed by adding a reciever pack. so I still need to order one and the charger for it. I might be able to have it ready for the comp, that all deppends on how long shipping takes and if this will fix my problem.

ThanX,
Krystopher

You will have another week to get ready, the comp was snowed out, knee deep snow in areas, and rescheduled for the 25th.

What is/was your major problem? speedo freakin out?

My problem was that my servos are high drain servos and they need more power. So I need to get a reciever battery pack.

Thanks for the offer, but I have a pack and the charger on the way. And I'm not going to make it to the comp this Sunday, because I'm going on vacation from Friday to Sunday.:-( But I will make it out soon.

Well I got all my parts but I'm having a wireing problem. I wired everything up and the steering is working off of the throttle noob on the remote, and the throttle is working off of the steering noob and in most cases, the rear steering isen't even working!! So what might my problem be, I've allready tried moving wires around in the reciever. All help is very appericiated.

ThanX,

Thanks, I'll change that tommorrow. As for tonight, I'm not going to work on anything because my dad just got an Oxy Acetylene torch. Do I see a tube chassis in the future?

Well I've been debating on whether to use a Nylint body or a lexan body and I finally made my decison. I'll post pics after lunch to show you all what I decided on. I also fixed my problem and it sacrificed my rear steering for now. I also have very bad glitching now. What do you guys think that I can do about that? I think that I am going to get a tower pro servo for the rear. All coments are welcome.

ThanX,
Krystopher

Here are the pics! I color matched the servo horn and painted it the same color as the body. I have some small details that I just painted. As you can tell from the pics, the body is a Nylint body with the bed cut off of it. I chose flouresent pink because pink is my sisters favorite color, and I wanted to be different. I think that it stands out, what do you guys think? I also am going to get 7 cell 4200mah batterys for it and my other rigs.

Well I am haveing issues with the electronics. I think that the problem will be solved by a new reciever. My problem was that the light on the esc was lighting up, but nothing moved or happened. So I now have a new reciever on the way to fix my problem.(I hope)
