hope your starter box is up to the task of turning that bad boy over.

don't forget to charge your batts.
Wow, where did you get it from? MY Picco .26 never had anything in it. My starter box turns the Rody over pretty easily I just gotta hit it kinda hard thats all or make sure it's not at TDC and it cranks it. It's a std plug also so it won't be sensative to weather changes like a turbo plug. Another trick is to make sure the wheel is off to the side and not directly on top.

My Futaba RX is small so it fits in the box. The servo's I leave where they are. No need to move them.

NSX- This is claimed to be faster than the NS12, because this engine came out much later than them. I can't wait to run them.

ALL-Here's a short clip of some 200mm sedans running. Look for fast those guys run through that corner with a one way diff!

Novaking- Nice shots. IS that the MT12? Definately get the LW 2speed and both LW shafts. It will give you more speed.

Looks great man! I have spider foams, but only the decals for the front tires. GRRR. Ah well I'm not gonna complain.

jajajaja not to worry, those tires are new, as soon as they start to worn, the decal gets all messed up and usually I take it off, but for picture purposes they look cool...lol

Yeah. I'll go put mine on after I setup the throttle linkage. When the lil nub is standing up it bumps into the clip on the fuel tank so I'm laying it down on the side and move the throttle linkage under the horn.
