finished! have a look
while it looks great, i’m a lot happier with doing it with an enertec as it’s easier to do and you don’t remove the stock charging plate. also relocating the batt in the tomy was a pain. as i’ve lengthened the wheelbase, shells will need heavy modding to fit. remember, the rear tab is moving now. it would be far more difficult to do without the lengthening. high speed handling is a dream on the rough concrete and it even handles bitumen. still a little fine tuning to do but otherwise a very successful mod.:8ball:

well i’ve ironed out some final bugs and got this little baby running sweet! revised the spring mount, sorted the steeringand decked it out with the 200mah nimh batt and hummer shell i scored from trackmaster (thanks again tm!). i moved the front tab up a bit and glued some foam on the inside so it mounts by gripping the sides of the chassis. i have to thank ph2t for that last tip, and it works perfectly!:D it’s the simple things that often work best. i’ll add lights next and make a custom charger. the two spring screws near the rear screw into the battery terminals, so that’s where i’ll charge from.
ok i’m pooped, gotta go to bed before i

can it go over lawn? the setup is insane man, I love it! How fast is this puppy? Do you have issues steering? being the weight of the front wheels being heavier and all…

the steering works fairly well, but i’ll add another or stronger spring and that should sort it out. there’s very little play with the front wheels because i installed some tiny eyelets that fit the front wheel pins beautifully. can’t do the lawn, it’s just too small, but it would go over a bowling green no probs. i’ve driven on brick paving and the road out front without a problem. and it’s great fun when you park it over an anthill and floor it! look at that dirt fly!! it’s got a 2.6 and still runs at the speed it was going pre mod. the nimh batt adds a little more power i think, but i can’t verify that with fact, it just looks that way. if you look at the pics you’ll notice there’s two screws directly under the battery. i’ve screwed them into the battery terminals, and charge it through them:8ball:
