Thanks big pimpin...

It is one of the ZipZap Escalade bodies, it is a MR01 pcb, and I have a lipo I want to put in it but haven't got a charger yet so I am holding off.

Damn Bro,
You really need to get yourself one of those cams at work because you're doing your sweet ass rides an injustice with that phone cam... Now me, I just don't know how to take pics, it ain't the cameras fault. :-)
The ride itself looks badass... How does it run with the new pcb? You probably ain't bumpin the cool ass Escalade tunes anymore though, huh? lol... They should have put more songs...
Anyhow, another NICE ride for your gallery.

More songs? They should of made something coming out of those little speakers worth listening too. Calling them (2) songs is a stretch. :grin:

I haven't done a wheel mod for a Zip as of yet. Do you have to shave back a little on the chassis to get the full swing left-right of the front wheels? It's probably in a tutorial here at bP, which I will ingest before attempting.

It really depends on the wheels you are using and the body and how low you mount it.

In this particular instance, it's not the camera or Sat4life27's fault. It's an evil dragon woman. Get that camera back, Sat4life27! Your rides are more than worth the clarity of a good pic!

I can dig it. Time for me to do some reading and head to the toy section.

With the wheels I used on this one I had to shave the wheels themself for them to not stick out (they where about 1/2 thicker then a stock wheels), and trim a little off the chassis so the wheels wouldn't rub at full turn.

Then as SWG said, because of the body drop I had to open up the wheel wells on the body so the tires wouldn't hit the edges.

Thanks for all the props pimps!!! I will one day have a better camera...

8-) I like the window treatment, gotta have 'em down when it's nice outside.
How are you keeping those tires on? I used CA an some of mine, but it fogged up the "chrome". Does anyone have a trick to shine them up?

Now that's what I'm talkin about!!!
Great job with the rims and pcb swap. I don't know much about RCs, is that one of those Iwaver boards? Did you get the lipo on? What other mods have ya done to it?
