Thanks.

I enjoy reading these build threads. Keep it detailed with loads of pics please:thumbsup:

Yes looking forward to build pictures.

Will do guys :)

Lipo safety bags have been ordered aswell :)

Thanks.

when are you expecting the kit to arrive? I want to see lots of pictures.

Well i ordered it last night from APEX models. But they said they didnt have any in stock and they would order them in (would take 1 or 2 days) then ship to me.

So i think it should be here around Thursday ish?

This week and next week is my Gcse mock exam week and i need the car ready by this Sunday (due to the last winter series race) :(

Going to be a difficult week this!

So! This'll be a short and sweet build thread then! LOL

Looking forward to seeing things take shape.

Hahaha :)

Awesomeness at its best.lol

Well slight problem. I can not built it this week due to exams, and as my mum and dad are paying like 70% of it they say i can only have it on Christmas day :cry: lol.

But not long !

Stay tuned :)

what be leccys using? you have imperial tools already?
hopefully yours won't be plagued with the slop rc8's suffer with.

1st of all they now come in metric not Imperial...
And every rc8 driver i have spoken to love their old rc8 so the new one will be better :)

I have driven the old rc8 my self, loved it.

With 24+ championships under their belt i doubt there car is "sloppy".

Thanks.

Right guys. Starting building last night as my exams are FINISHED!! no exams next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics coming soon...

You talked them around then ? :lol:

You won't have anything to open and play with on Christmas day now :(

Shell has been send to my sponsor (outlaw graphics) for painting.

It took me just over 8 hours ( considering i started working after school and today) .

I think its turned out very good for my first Built :)

Next race=next year :( but it will give me enough time to break the car in and fine tune anything i want.

Thanks.

Lookin' good Nasir, I'm sure Mark will do a good job on the shell, I like his stuff ! What are you having ? Your usual Red Bull scheme or something new ?

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with this, all aspect, maintenance, driving, racing, everything. Especially as you have already done this with Nitro. I wonder if it will compare and how easy it is to get on with / change & adapt to ?

Thanks mate :) yea Mark does a really good job.Love his Work. My usual red bull scheme :)

Yea i'll keep you guys updated on everything. Maintenance,driving,racing and differences i feel there is between Nitro and Electric.

Thanks.

That's the bit I'm really interested in personally !

Which tracks are you going to be running at too ?

Slough (rwmcc) and maybe herts

I'd be interested on how you get on at Slough, thought they were nitro only.

Ive seen a couple of Electric cars there. There nice guys and will let some electric cars race.

I come with many good news people
Camber+ suspension and droop has been send by the lord of rc Tommy Chung Kyosho team racing driver :woot::woot::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks.

Tommy is a really good guy and incredibly knowledgable and helpful on the few times I have met him.

Could not agree with you more.Without him, i properly would not be racing right now!.He is one of the most helpful people down at the track and i learned my skills /knowledge from him.

Look what i just ordered:

Just to be on the safe side of Lipo fires. HAHAHAHA:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Safety first.

I was working in a model shop in 2003 when Lipo's were starting to come in and be used a lot in helicopters.

There was a story that went around everywhere with pictures of a guy charging the heli in the back of his car, I don't know what happened and led to this but the battery caught fire followed swiftly by his car, whole lot went up.

The pictures were of this burnt out car, you could make out the heli in the boot still, was horrible but that was a long time ago and tech has moved on since then, still, probably better to be safe than sorry eh !

OUCH!!!.
Yes i do agree. Safety comes first.I saw a Losi 8ight E on fire at Slough SRS race,not live someone took a picture and that scared me lol.

Ok little update.

Took it for a test drive and all was good,very fast i must say.The front drive shaft popped out,but that's because i forgot to lock tight my screw. The center diff seemed to be leaking. So i took it off and greased it all up better and tigened the screws up more.

Thanks.

Shell is coming this Saturday!!!

Looks brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will post some pics with the shell mounted on my car :thumbsup:

Thanks.

MY SHELLS HERE!!!! looks epic. Thanks to Outlaw Graphics :)

Thanks

You can't just say that and not post up pictures of it. Come on Nasir, sort it out :lol:

ITS COMING!!!!:woot::woot::woot::woot:

My mum has stolen my card reader again!!

lol

HERE IT IS!!

I noticed the wing seemed a bit 'bad' with all the red bull stuff. So i am getting a custom Red bull skin wrap for it :)

What do you think?

Thanks.

I'm sorry my photographing skill are RUBBISH!! Looks much more nicer here lol

Yeah that looks okay, nice tidy paint from Mark as usual ! Could do with something else in the back section as the sides are real cool with all the sponsors and stuff and then the back just looks a bit empty I guess.

Will look better with the wing skin on it, gonna look good on the track, nice and clear.

When I finally manage to get to Slough I'll come over and have a proper look :D
