Superfly Influenced Makeover
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 5:14 pm
Ok, so this car started out like this:
It was my "other" car with pull back wheels. I like to set my cars up in evenly matched paired, so this was just the obligated "other" car. Over time I decided pullbacks weren't good for small tracks, and I found other uses for them, so the car became something else, and the body retired to the box.
Recently, when I got some MS speed sets from Tower Hobbies for cheap, I was digging out my old bodies and putting them on new chassis. So I started apying attention to this one a again.
I dig the way Superfly lowers his Supras. I picked his Supra in the mod's contest, because I like the way it looks. So I decided to give my car the same treatment, and getting back to that evenly matched pair thing, I had to set it up fairly even. So it has a Perfection 3.8, FETs, and a Perfection finned heatsink. I know Superfly plays with faster gears and motors than what's in this car, but I couldn't help but to be competitive, and set my car up a little faster, with teal gears, and I stacked one of the forward FETs.(shhhh)
BTW, I also threw a 45mhz Precious board in there, because I know Superfly likes to run 49mhz, and Hue 27mhz.
Superfly's car is part of my growing group of race themed cars. Each in own frequency. I have a 57mhz car I gonna do up as soon as I get more sponser decals.
