Try going up the side at a 45 angle with 1/4 inch tape and then flames on the front. I know its played out but my imagination doesn't stretch that far anymore with rattle cans

Took the 720 for a shake down run today. Had to change a couple of settings but more will need to be done at an actual race meeting.
  • Had to loosen the clutch preload spring to about .75mm
  • 2 speed tension screws in 1.5 turns from the kit setup
  • Had some brake binding, but seems to be getting better. Anyone using a return spring on the brake.

HTML Code:
You can see in this picture how I did the instalation I have in the 720 a 1,oo VXR LiPo, you have to cut the size of the battery holder, you will not be able to install the holder from behain of the chassis, only from the top, but that is no sacrfice for what you get, the Voltage Regulator yoy have to install it on the size of the car with a plstic holder.
I cannot get the 3hobby link to work is this problem on my end or can you's people see it OK? I get an access denied on the 3hobby site.

Jim, you have to register, use a valid email address. Then yo'll get an activation email almost instantly, you will need to click on the link in the email. If you're using hotmail or yahoo mail, check your junk mailbox too, sometimes the activation email gets sent there because of the activation link. You;ll need to activate within 24 hours of registering. Its all free of course ...
