oh yea, i didnt think about trimming the middle. I am getting one ha ha. I want a racing looking body and i really like that one. i think the tango one for the pede is to tall and dumb looking. thats just me though.

fusebmx13

i also like this one. not to much different. just the back wing. they both come clear but i think i want to match that white look. although white shows dirt a lot. that makes it better right?

well the thing is that the pede body is cut low so it covers all of the chassis. what i would do since i have my posts lowered, is trim the bottom so it just covers the chassis so it wont look so stupid tallish. and i personally like the first one more... and i wouldnt trim the middle untill you know for sure if it will fit without trimming. because it looks like it might...

fusebmx13

yea, i like the white (first one) better also. and i think it might work without cutting the center because of where the shock indentions are. if you look, those look flat and if i get lucky, they will fit on those.
but this body is going to have to wait. i am getting a lunchbox this week or next week and my pede is going to be getting a little neglected. but i am still going to drive it all the time.

And also i think last page or the page before it i was saying how starting out i was having some twitching at a distance. well i found out that my on/off switch was touching my antenna. so i moved it and now it works fine. no glitch at a distance any more. I HATE GLITCHES!!! [:@]

streetracer745

touching the on/off switch... oh right i forgot that its placed right beside the antenna mount... i have the vxl with button on off switch o nthe esc... yeh my airtronics one was glitching for a while. and whe na $70 synthesized reciever glitches. you get real mad... but it was just dirty so... hey strap that sidewinder in the lunchbox!

fusebmx13

yea i wish that castle has the button on/off. but that is the only thing i have to complain about and the location of the on/off switch but that isnt castles fault.

ha ha if o got the lunchbox, it might just be lucky enough to see the sidewinder. and maybie even get one of its own. i would probly get the 4600 for it just becuase its not made for speed and i would just want the no mantinence part of it. and if i dod that, i would get a castle link, which is high on my list, and put the esc on velcro like you said earlier and have a motor in each, and just have to switch it back and forth.
or i might get a vxl system and try that out. the best one will go in my pede because it is my "go to" car and the lunchbox will be my mess around with car when my pede is broke ha ha.

streetracer745

man if your just getting a backup car atleast get something good... the lunchbox is awsome no doubt. but it cant really handle the power... itll rip apart... get a used rusty or pede for cheap... haha thats the best backup car there is!

fusebmx13

no, i am just getting it to be fun. i am not really going to do much with it. just play around. Im not looking for it to handle brushless or even have any handling lol.

However i think it will handle brushless fine and wot rip apart. there is videos on the Tube of brushless lunchboxes with 2s lipo. here it is. i asked in the lunchbox thread if it would hold up and Lunchboxer said that he uses his and he hasent stripped a gear yet and it hold up fine.

We just got finished doing a speed test with my brother's rusty. it was clocked at 57.17 on Ener-g 4600 mah 7 cells. It was geared 16/86. We didnt get to get it up to full on our street because the sun was going down fast. first the gps fell off and we had to re do it. so that took some time. here are some pics of proof.

streetracer745

nice. and hes the 7700 right? man if you could use that thing on 3s... id so have one in my TC! i think i might try to keep this rustler or sell it and find a roller. make me a brushless n-rusty.... or do it to my old pede! itll be a lot more balanced than my pede now. wont be slammed... but everything will be a lot more centered and not sticking way out the back of the truck...

fusebmx13

yea doing it to the n rustler would be sweet. and i am uploading some vids on youtube right now but it is taking a while.

streetracer745

yeh they are doing maintenance so everythign is moving kinda slow there. idk im starting to think maybe a n-pede... if i can figure a way to keep the battery fully on the chassis...

fusebmx13

yea, it is taking forever to upload, i might cancel it and do it later if it doesnt go soon.

Dear god I have to unsubscribe from this. ZGetting 100 emails a day and its no longer the official Pede thread is the Streetracer & fusebox conversation thread, lol.

fusebmx13

lol yea, and streetracer, it is the 7700, i didnt answer that before.

streetracer745

mate you could always join in. we are just the only two who love the pede enough to talk about them. you could always change your settings to only recieve one email about new posts on threads... haha. it is the official pede thread. we are talking about pedes

fusebmx13

lol yea true. and you remember a while back about how i was going to jump down my friends retaining wall? well my pede was broke so we did it with his. it is kindof slow but it made it. however, it wasnt fast enough to make it from the roof over the fence and down. i dont think i will be doing that either, it is hard to get speed on his roof. i will have about 5 or lrss vids on youtube once they stop doing matinence.

fusebmx13

would these shock caps fit on my stock big bores?

pede_187

I ordered some RPM parts for my pede. I should have them late night tommorrow or mid day Thursday. I also ordered some tenergy propel cells and some deans battery kits (for SxS).

pede_187

I reinstalled the brushless system out of my redcat and I also installed the shocks from them on it. How does it look?

pede_187

The tenergy propel cells came in today
