Default My Capricorn Lab C801 brushless 8s

So....
When a man got a dream... a mountain gives birth a mouse!

Got this Italian "Lambo" for cheap second hand in my country. It was nitro... it was...

Not anymore!!









It needs baterys trays, motor mount, main shaft modded for normal spurs, wheelie bar (yes!) and XLX tray!!

So happy with this marvel of enginering!!

Not sure what you're trying to achieve but you can buy from Capricorn the TTB conversion battery deck and chuck a TTB motor in and you're set.

This was bought cheap second hand.

That kit alone you talk about is almost 300euros.
And what is TTB? Can post a link..of what you are talking...

I payed less then that for the car and the brushless conversion, all together.

The car alone (chassis) brand new is almost 800€.

Yes i acomplished something....at least for my pocket!
I will not race it on tracks. Just for speed fun leisure time!








-Wheelie bar...










-Also got a holder for a front wing....we know why!

Interesting. Weird and a bit confused to understand the whole point of this. But this is your work of art and you seem passionate about it, so kudos to you.

Wheely bar wont be necessary on a nitro 1/8 scale chassis.

Funny thing about RC or anyhting else...when someone thinks outside the box and it actually works, most people go nuts, first they don't believe, second they deny what they see, third they all want it! :P (if you can't fight them, join them) whatever....

The +100mph friends will know and understand!

I don't care for track racing. This is for speed!

Maybe put some "Kyosho" stickers on it in the end and call it a Mugen? :P lol

Not yet... this take time! I live from my salary.
I am no drug dealer or rap singer or even football/soccer star...so this things need to be second hand, which take time to track them...and eletronics are new, so it will take a while. In the meantime... i enjoy looking at it and thinking on what to do, and still learning new stuff everyday! lol

It can be removed in seconds . but for those heroic speed runs i am after if something goes wrong... i got the rear cover and the nose cover! That's what i am after... speed, stability & security...all in the same package...

I am not trying to re-invente the wheel...this is done all over the world everyday in RC on the speed "guys"

I just like it to much and like to share.... i could be like most of the speeder's that only show the body and the gps... no insides and a 20" second video
