Here is the result of my first drifter. The body came out "ok", I have another one on the way. My setup is as follows:

Car: AE TC4 Kit
Motor/ESC: Mamba Max 5700 system
Battery: IB4200 7.2v with deans
Wheels/Tires: HPI TE-37, black with 6mm offset / RCDrift.com ABS aggressive tires
Body: Cadillac CTS - Proline Racing

Misc Notes: I had a botched HPI M3 body, so I used a lot of the sponsorship stickers from the BMW on this Cadillac.

URC

Looks good, glad to see another CTS-VR, Digging the Two tone blue paint job.

i like the racing look with all the sponership stickers , lucky for you the CTS does use a Bosh ECU, The CTS V does come with Brembo breaks, and Eibach does make parts for the CTS. So no worrys with using the BMW stickers

Can u tell im a caddy boy

PS what did you use to tint the Windows.. i wann tint mine

That's pretty sexy there UNITED RC nice job. Just curious how are you cutting out your wheel wells? I have two methods that seem to work good for me. One involves a nail clip that is convex instead of concave, and another involves a circle cutter (I hate the circle cutter heh) but it's very effective.

To cut the wheel wells, which has worked well for me, I use an x-acto knife and make an insision on the outside, but not all the way through. Make sure that you follow it out to the end of the lexan. Use sissors to start the cut, and then just pull the lexan away, along the cut.

The lexan will rip away just perfectly along the cut line that you made. If you need to do some minor cutting, I always use a dremel/sanding part to make the changes.

hmmm nice tip i might have to try that on my next body....

you can also do the same process to cut out any of the body areas. It really nice and be a GREAT clean line (based on the external score you make on the lexan with the razor).

rep the tc4

not a huge cadillac fan, but i like it anyway

thanks, it was not my first choice, but the shop had limited selection, and this seemed to be the coolest.

Good TC-4's Keep up the Good Work[sm=thumbup.gif]

Any of you guys know where to get the wings and mufflers that come on the Yokomo Drift bodies? I'm making an older RS4 my drift car and want that real car look with the wing a muffler and light buckets. I may just break down and buy a Yokomo body kit.....Also where'd you pick the HPI offsets up? Those are sick!

My black wheels are the HPI TE-37 6mm offset
