well, after visiting Ikinari's website for the umpteenth time so look at the new tagu 1:24 chassis kit, i ofcourse had to swing by his section on the 1:32 CRT :p i had been wanting to take the plunge ever since Ikinari first reviewd these amazingly small peices of wonder. this time i decided i was going to do something about it though ;) i've painfully allocated the funds for this, which it is NOT cheap, and will be purchasing it by the end of the month.

here's the run down... 1:32 Mini Carpet Racer or CRT

Ikinar's review and mods
i plan to use wither iw-02 pcb or mr-02 pcb as seen on Ikinari's website

update.....

paypal euro conversion cleared or whatever that means the mar 2nd, i paid feb 25th...
chris emailed me to tell me as soon as the transaction cleared he would mail the package. he warned shipping would be anywhere from 1-3 weeks i can get stuff from bithed in tokyo faster than that

so... i have a week or two to shop for the micro servo. i still haven't come across the perfect one. it's all a bit overwhelming for someone new to micro electronics components when your sifting thru futaba, hitech, gws, etc. etc.

assembley update

i had to call it quits after a few hours... time to spend some of the day with the kids :p
i've uploaded more pictures

i'm still waiting on some first hand rear diff help before i do any more assembley on the rear end. i may work on the cpb/servo mod sun. if i can find the time.

Dude, get some AAA sized Li-Ions, i can give u a few sources if you PM me. And you can find a smaller servo... Ive seen one that fits in between the two suspension posts in the front of the xmod..
