modification 2018 style

Post by hogjowlz »

Just ordered one of those coke can rcs off of amazon.

my big plans are to design and print custom bodies and chassis along with modern electronics.

i have a 3d depth camera so i should be able to make it all to exact dimensions without a lot of maths.
:cool:

11 bucks in 2018 gets you a decent little car out of the box. its slightly different scale i think i read 1/58th? but it totally looks like a bit's grandkid. the body screws on and the windows head and tail lights have separate clear(the windows are black) plastic inserts that attach to the body. working head/tail lights in fwd/reverse. the steering is like a bit but the rear end is a little different with a covered gear compartment. battery looks like your standard 1cell nicd.

i drove around on the kitchen floor for a minute and it steers great and is exceptionally meh in the speed dept.

so i took her into my new high tech shop.sorry the pics are so clear. ill get back to ya

Throw a lipo on that thing and ditch the nicd. Hope to see some cool mods soon. I was thinking about getting one of these too to mess with.
