Madmunkey, if you want to get a decent battery pack then get Vaperextech, I'll find a link for you, they arent cheapbut trust me they last ages.

Have got 2x 4600mah and 3x 3700mah packs.

7.2v packs>>>> http://www.vapextech.co.uk/acatalog/...Batteries.html

dus dude, our Bycmos are still rolling buddy, used one the other week

hi madmunkey
whats wrong with the one in the link?
its 1/10th scale 190mm just like the bycmo subaru
it will just need drilling, cutting, painting and decals applying

Looks fine but...the silencer looks like a joke! Way too small!
Problem for all two strokes is that they need a large volume silencer to really reduce noice and sound well
That's why a cannister is needed. Look forward to a manufacturer that can make a two stroke silencer that doesn't reduce horsepower and doesn't sound like like a moped!

Trust me madmunkey, once you do your own shell you look at it and think 'I did that myself'
Much better then buying one.
Even if it goes wrong and you learn how to do it then it's not a total loss.
I'm sure you could do your own, it's pretty easy.

Thanks dus, will look at those.

If it's ok I have an update on the other cars that we have?

Have locked both diffs on mine to get the power down, these things realy are awesome fast with the 5.5 turn brushless.

Just had another 5.5 turn brushless set up arrive for the lads one too.

In the middle of converting his car at the moment.

Promise to post videos of these next week

Looks like your best turnout yet, lots of great pics,
what is the permanent marker on the back of your other halfs truck?

Loving the real trucks too.

You know that one of the Stowbarts died the other month?

What truck shell would fit to the Bycmo or the HSP?

Could be fun. had a look but not sure what would fit. Couldn't find many on ebay by searching for rc truck body shell.

hi ian
would love to say yes our best sofar
but its not our meet its a friend of ours
it was held at leyland museum
the marker pen is alex debogorskis signature from ice road truckers
we both had our trucks signed by him last year at haydock

isnt it ironic his life was restricted to 56 same as the speed of trucks

the truck shell that would work was the yokomo like the one i had for the g4
and the pink one that was for the kyosho pureten alpha 2
have a look at the link it ended with no bids
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MEWAX:VRI
you maybe able to contact them and buy it

Nice car and colour munkey, has it been on a dyno yet to see what power it is? what boost pressure do you run with it?

You went to Truckfest last year didn't you?

My mate from work used to go to this or something very similar.

I love Ice Road Truckers and the Stobart series.

What happened to the Yoko you were going to get dus?

Thought I'd ask here first, got an electric speed controller and 15 turn Hpi motor.

Motor was used for 30mins tops before removing to go brushless.

Can do good deal

Obviously easy fit to Bycmos.
