RE: Elcon Cleon Build For DDM Booth @ RCX
If not you, I am a loving and willing to adopt such a thoroughbred homeless RC!
So, regardless, I do hope the RC will definitely go to a good home, and whether you, Pwaicon, or to DDM, I know it will be in perfect hands!

I agree the Cleon needs to go to a good home that is why I decided to buy it. It was hard to say no, since DDM gave me a great deal. Finished installing the electronics yesterday and thought I would post some pics of my completely finished Cleon.

Yeah, must have been a great deal - it even comes with divorce papers 
You're a dog, no doubt about it.
I'd be scared to take that thing off the tarmac, it would be a crime to scratch any of that alloy [:@].
Currently I do have the "itch" to get another high end 1/5, but I'm leaning towards the MCD Ultimate series or FG Comp. 4x4s since I want a 4x4 this time.

Thanks Savagejim, I will absolutely shoot a video or two of this bad boy in action.
Sheograth, I guess I forgot to tell you I am single now.[X(] No, believe it or not she actually said I could buy it. To tell you the truth I am kind of worried now, I think she is setting me up for something.[sm=50_50.gif]
I hear you on the 4X4s. I really like the look of the MCD Ultimate also and I have really enjoyed my FG Baja Comp.

Yeah you're in for it now. She's going to ask you for one of these, and you BETTER say yes.

Only $118,000 - and then you have to take her out to show it off somewhere

Yep, that was a Nutech, it was my friends Thunderbolt 2.It was his first time tying it out at the track and it seemed to be doing pretty good.

RE: Elcon Cleon Build For DDM Booth @ RCX
I figured it was time for another update. I have to say the more I drive this buggy the more I am impressed with it, the way it handles on a track is nothing short of phenomenal. The suspension is so smooth and the buggy literally glides in the air. As for its durability thus far I am super satisfied. Now I wouldn’t take it out bashing like I do my other RC’s the Cleon definitely belongs on the track. I did have a gas tank issue which Elcon fixed for me, I have to praise them for their support they have top notch customer service. The only complaint I have are the wing mounts, they are a little on the weak side, but there are some aftermarket ones that will fix that issue it is just a matter of ordering a set. I hope to have a new video up soon but in the mean time here are a few pics taken at the track this past weekend.

Thanks waqr, I have to give my wife the credit though. She always does a great job at filming and taking pictures when I run my cars. As for the pics, you can absolutely borrow them and post them up on another forum.

Here is the latest video of the Cleon at the track.[link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwmIQRhQD_o[/link]
Sorry Chris the video was too large to upload to photobucket, it sure is a shame you can’t get YouTube in China.[&o]
