FR-S Radio Control Car Part II

So much for finishing this project tonight before starting work again tomorrow. I guess I have the weekend to finish it.

The chassis test FAILED! The diffs need tightening which means taking it almost completely apart. If you know about these high end R/Cs, you know this is not a 5 minute deal. The rest did great. The Duratrax 3900kV brushless system + LiPO 5000 batteries works perfectly.

So instead of fixing the diffs, today I painted the body



and the wheels


Yes, those are rotors
The paint job is not even good but I was not going for perfection necessarily. The exhaust area still needs painting and detailing.

One sad thing is that this is a BRZ body and the front can't really be modified to look like the FR-S, but I'm good with that. It's still a twin!

Tomorrow, Skycart! This weekend, I'll work on the body and diffs.

Later!
