well i've still got some parts coming (shockset, alloy steering cover) but with the addition of some wide wheels and sticky tyres this baby sticks to the ground like snot on a window!! with rollshocks i'll be 100% with the handling, only upgrades left really is the motor.

Image

check them fat shoes! the tyres on the front are really for the rear, but anyways...

Image

and as predicted, the paint was awful fragile! :lol: and do yaself a favour, grab some alloys!!

Image

many thanks to ph2t for supplying some of the parts and a huge thank you to bruce kulhanek who gave me a stupid good deal on a lotta his old mr01 parts. that's right, some of his old 84kph mr01 crap now lives here! :cool:

Hey Betty, I noticed from your scars, you seem to be driving on your roof.
Try using the tires, it'll probably do less damage to your body. ;)
...crazy man, crazy...dig it.

and it's light up time! i used the led's and resistors from the logic lightset i got and wired them directly to the batteries so they stay on. and after z beam's uv underglow monster bit appeared i went out and got some uv led's. they make the clear chassis flouresce so i get some cool eerie ground lighting.

dude, you like anything that's smooth and easily insertable.....

That yellow bannana name betty is using takes on a whole new meaning now
..... you getting soft old boy? haha
Yeah, I lost that picture of your moms so getting hard aint too easy anymore
well it might slide in easy but it's a bitch to get out!
Just can't get enough of your banana :???: :oops: :innocent: :screwed:
Quoting payaso, "You guys are a fucking riot...LMFAO!!!!"

Anyways, betty, that "banana" looks pretty fast...just don't come after me with it!! :disturbed:

I see that you painted over the rear lights...also, that woah nelly looks pretty cool under the hood.

I'd recommend installing li-poly or li-ion (what's the difference?? :-? ), then regulating it down to a lower voltage for the board...the woah nelly turbo would be grounded already, so just pop in the batteries and the regulator and zoom away :shock:

just a few suggestions......

now I need to get off my lazy ass, get some cash and do it myself
