Thank you to those how helped me recently in answering my questions about buggy and trucks etc. just starting out in the RC world. I have tried helis a friend has a few, didn't like them. I even had the G4 simulator with the futaba radio controller..

I just placed an order for the SC10 4x4 Kit with 11, 13 and 15 tooth pinion it is pre-order.

Any way, Here is my track car (real one)

Thats a nasty lil' Mazda [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Nik.

doesn't the license plate and lights and crap block airflow like that? I like the shopping list down the side.

Not a huge fan of Mazda, I know they are decent reliable cars, But that thing is Freaking Saaaweeeet! You should really post some under-the-hood pics!.

The lic plate is removed on track and law on road in nj
the cai is in the bumper
the intercooler gets enough air
the fogs are on the side and dong block anything

A nice chunk of power and torque, how much does it weigh though? [X(]

Cyberbug

2500-2600lbs

The_Shark

should be around 2600 or so, prob 2500 lightened, the old ones would weigh in at 2100lbs, but where alot more flexy.

The_Shark

ha! i was right but you beat me to the punch

In the shop right now, getting custom roll bars.
RaceTech Carbon fiber/Kevlar seats, mounts and some other goodies..

FahrtAutoRC

Nothing that the right bars in the right places couldnt fix, tho. Front and rear strut bars and rear floor bars seem to help those little cars out a lot. Nice racer, btw. I lol'd at the duct tape repair jobs but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

The_Shark

notice engine placement Vs strut placement? thats where you get your handling.

HEY! i just noticed they put the battery up front! mine was in the back.

Cyberbug

I have a 4.5lbs braille carbon fiber/ Lithium Ion battery in there, all extras are out.

All braces, FSTB, Rear struct, diff support, rear/front braces, knuckles supports, RX8 hubs, Racing brake 13.1" 4-pot front, rear RX-8 brakes, two piece ventillated, open slotted front and rear rotors, anything and everything. I have a very longs list... down to point were not much to do.

I have to install aluminum pedals from ultimate pedals, a brake flasher... second seat when funds are handy and thats about it.

I am sure it is not a repair job.. but rather, to protect the paint while at the track..

Cyberbug

The painter (blue) tape is used to protect the paint, body and lights from stones and other stuff from the car in front, it is also used in AutoX to protect the car from cones, which can damage the paint.

on the brake ducts tape is used to control temps, depending on the track and brake temps.

My Feedback: (3)

What's the retail on one o' those?

Seriously, though, that's a wicked little car. ThunderbirdJunkie digs it. He spies a camera on the roof in one shot; got some video to share with us?

looks good, I always wanted to do a monster miata with a all aluminum 331 ford stroker, there is a local shop that has 8 or 10 miatas out back at all times, from $1200 on up depending on how much of the original car you want, they build customer cars for some kind of mazda spec class.
