i like it man, he does good work. plus you got the novak orange in full effect!:p

I can do that, cause I finally got some shorty packs!

do it...do it........DO IT:lol:

yeah I agree. I ment spending on conversions, centering kits, MIP Puck systems, etc. I put an extra 300 into my b4 and I didnt gain 1 second of lap times and those upgrades have no resale value. I will spend money on an upgrade that is guaranteed to make me faster, but so far that is just upkeep and tires. Anyway.... I like the B4 and was not trying to imply that it breaks easily and it crap. I have run the b4 since its release and I think the car is great. I am kinda glad to see all of the renewed interest in AE because of the centro. But, I think I will wait for a complete purpose designed MM car from the 2 major kit manufactures.

Sweet, this will be great, motor centering kit, esc behind battery, and I'll make a little lexan shelf to run the rx low on the rear shock tower! I don't think the weight of the rx will matter up a little bit, thing is light as a feather anyway. And I run spent the morning replacing bearings and ball cups, thing is tight as new! :tire:

you dont need to mount the rx up on the shock tower, you can put it in the side tray like normal. its not a huge deal with the rx as they weigh like nothing lol and when you freshen up the car, replace the a-arms and buy new hinge pins and dust covers as well, it will be like brand new. i just spent like $40 buying that stuff plus a difff rebuild and it feels absolutely brand new. PS: you stole my name vw addict...lol i love vdubs

I did short out but only because someone slammed into my car in mid air and sent it car wheeling and knocked out a foam battery insert that allowed the battery to slide backwards which left the leads contacting the shelf, thereby shorting it out. Had I not had the shelf I'd have never had an issue. I fail to see the point you're trying to make about CF conductivity though. Electronics reside on the chassis via double-sided adhesive that keeps it from any direct contact and with Li-Po's dawning of hardened plastic outer shells, I fail to see how they'd short out.

And FYI, I took a piece of styrofoam from my new iMac's packaging and cut it to an exact length for my Associated cars so even if I decided to run a shelf again (which I never will), I'd never experience a short like that again. The only way I'd ever run an inline setup again is if a kit I buy doesn't allow for side mounting of components.

My scheme and color choice before this was over used so we decided to switch it up. And yes orange power!

dust? Wuz that? I only have to deal with carpet fibers and I blow gun the car off after every run

i wish i had my car, id show you legit my paint jobs are. the guys who does my bodies is REALLY good and hes local and quick and cheap lol

Attachment 1122248

these are my two bodies i had done recently by him. im having a SCT body done when i get my new .2 kit

im not saying they have practical reason for you, but they look so pretty nice and new and white! its all about appearance, duh! speed is an afterthought! :lol:

I aim to be the nicest ride in the C main!!!!! I think sometimes my car purposely sandbags on Friday nights so I don't have to stay til 1am to run the main :nod:

my car sure does look really cool while bringing up the rear of the pack! lol no really, my car looks cool and it runs awesome, i love my b4.2

I wish our track would run a 17.5 class for buggy, but everyone just has to go fast. Freight training with 4 cars running 8.5 boosted is very nerve racking.....

not to rub it in but 17.5 class is the best :sneaky:
