Belongs to another Indy driver. I think it is all paint except for the number and little sponsor decals.

Most likely painted by IndyHobbies or Rockstar.

Solar D770 is my go to for on-road and 2wd off-road. They are cheap, reliable, more than enough torque, and are plenty fast.

Thanks. I like the specs and price on that one. Hobby partz the only place to get them online or do you know of another place?

I painted the McAllister Mustang - Valvoline body. There are a few sponsor decals, but the rest was paint. Here are a few other pics of the body.

They show up on a few eBay hobby shops every now and again, but hobbypartz is always cheaper.

Novak esc

I just installed my Novak motor and edge esc combo tonight.
The esc came with a separate glitch buster. Do I need to use that?
Just wondering since it looks like it already has the same thing pre wired into the esc.

The Capacitor on the motor aids in acceleration, where the "glitch buster" capacitor you plug into your receiver aids in powering your steering servo. (ALWAYS run the one on the ESCs) -

OK so the glitch buster thing isn't really needed unless the servo feels weak?

11 cars in the main that sounds like fun

Not weak, glitchy. It won't help a weak servo, it only helps avoid radio glitches when the servo's peak current draw exceeds what the ESC's internal regulator can provide. If your system operates smoothly, without going crazy, you don't need the "glitch buster" cap.

I've had to add it on the Novak Edge when I put replaced a bad servo with one of my old, heavy-duty servos left over from a nitro car.
