4 Cell NIMH, fits under a few bodies.


4 Cell with painted PT Cruiser body, gold rims.


Chopped up Mustang, 3 Cell nimh + fets, 3.8 motor, first
attempt with epoxy putty, green/purple mirage paint
with a white basecoat for a different effect.






both together

Isn't a fourcell fast as Hell?! And can't you fit another body upon it other than the pt. The idea of having a very fast pt cruiser does confuse me

Other than that... I like it. The mustang is fun to watch though I think the paint is kind of strange.

I've seen that Mustang somewhere before, TinyRC?

I think the paint looks cool, but it does look more than a little like glazed pottery.

For a first attempt with putty that turned out nice! What type of putty did you use? Putty is not easy to work with it took a lot of mess-ups for me to get the right technique down.

I like the color of the mustang is that a Testers color?

it was an experiment, first i layed down a layer of white, then used the
dupont green/purple metallic flake to layer on some color. The flakes built up in the body crevices creating an outline of the body lines in grey.
The smooth areas are tinted purple or green depending on the light.
lol, it does look like pottery glaze.

The putty is just some generic automotive grade epoxy putty. It is my most used car so it takes a beating, the putty is tough though, havent had
it crack off yet. the paint on the door handles is showing some wear from rollovers.

To charge the 3 and 4 cell cars, I modified the radio shack dodge viper charger stand to use a 6v dc wall plug and added a charger pot from the zz controller.
