Fine unless your track has speed bumps!

I like the way this car builds. Got a rolling chassis sans shocks.

Ignore the back wheel, I dont even think its mounted all the way in that pic.

Hi guys...
during I'm waiting for the new BMW 2002 body arrives soon. I just tried some thing different with the body for mu CR.
It's a classic Mini Cooper body but dresses as a member of the Team orange's drift car.
Well! it doesn't look so bad, does it?

Well, it's just a Tamiya M03 body that I applied the FACEworX decal FWD003 on.
The rims are TopCad that locally sell in Hong Kong. They are offset adjustable, too.

Here's my 510. I screwed up and sprayed window tint after white, but the result looks like a dirty, hard-raced 510 -- or a messed up paint job, your call. I kinda like it. Waiting for my Novak 17.5T to arrive to get it goin'. I'm going to get a BMW 2002 body and do it up right!

I built it with mostly stock parts, my Exotek drive cup and HR axle cups showed up a little too late so I will eventually get those on. The build went pretty smooth, it's my first on-road car and I gotta say I'm pretty stoked and anxious to get it going. I have never raced, but I've been looking in to a club that meets in Seattle and with the addition of a new Dx3s, perhaps I might!

I got a ProTek 4200 40C 2S lipo stick pack from AMain (tinyurl.com/2aovh4v add http : / / before this), it fits perfectly!

edit: fixed the ride height in the back, body fits perfectly now.

I just bought the aluminum axle cups from hotracing and it seems as if my screws dont screw in... like as if it doesnt fit.

Also it seems as if theres no threads in them even if they did fit..did i get a dud? help thanks.
