Just to let you know though, putting random stickers and attacking bodies with marker pens is not cool. Even if it looks cool in your head, it very rarely works out that way.

I`m sure Golf land are proud to have there name on the wing though


I`m not even going to start on the wheels, im sure you know they are just wrong

i like my cars to match, something wrong??

Single-handly destroyed RCTech.net with his posts, and now he is here

It only works if you learn to do extremely thin layers at a time and wait till its completely dry between coats, i've done a few b4 shells with the irresdecent paint, first 1 went wrong as yours did with it pooling then second one went really well

Hi Guys, forgive me if this is a stupid question, but as in the pic above, the motor wires go under the top deck, which means they are quite tight resting against the motor, is this ok? or when the motor gets hot will this do any damage to the wires, or possibly cause any interference? Or am I just being dull as when the motor gets hot the wires get hot too??

Just wiring my speedo in now and cant decide if I should put the wires under or over the top deck.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

[Mike Hudson]

This is fine but it is helpful to smooth off the topdeck edges so they don't dig into the wires

[silky]

Ok, cheers Mike.

Does anyone know if you can buy shorter sensor wires for LRP controllers, I need one about 30mm long (1.2 Inches) to allow me to wire up my car neatly without big folds off excess wire tie wrapped out of the way.

I think you can buy ones that are shorter than the ones that come with the speedo, as I am sure when my mate bought a Nosram package he also bought the optional shorter lead, but i think even the short version is quite a bit longer than 30mm.

Thanks for the reply Silky if I cant get one sort enough I will cut a standard one in the middle and solder it together and avoid having to touch the connectors

Next question is where to put the AMB PT, seems there are a few worries about the carbon chassis interfering with signals, suggestions and personal experience/recomendations would be most welcome

Maybe stick it to the bottom chassis plate and drill a 10mm hole underneath it ?

No need for that. Graphite doesn't cause any interferance with the PT's so anywhere will do really (I have mine on top of the servo).

[Zedman]

But the B44 Chasis is Carbon not graphite ?

Just finished building my B44 so thought id share the wiring pics

I can assure you there are no interference problems with pt's in the car, i've mounted mine just under the front dopdeck (red thing) as you can see in the pic, nice place out of the way
