redcat droop mod done
 
1 Attachment(s)
hey everybody just tought i should put up my lastest mod for my redcat. so far i cant find any redcat drift car with droop so i thought i would give it a try. i had to thread the hole, find a screw that fits and cut the scerw to the right length. know i can slame it to tha floor if i wanted too.

just so every one knows i kinda jumped the gun on buying my redcat but the more i work on it and more mods i do, i am really starting to like the car, i am going to make this car the best it can be. so if any one who has tips,tricks mods, or healpfull hints even if it has nothing to do with redcat i would love to hear them.


well let me know what you guys think


wipin it like a dragon tail
gary "aka" drifting dragon

Don't know what you've done so-far, but I bought a HSP (same thing as the Redcat) and put proper bearings on the axles instead of the crappy brass bushes, bought a 15 turn motor off ebay for $6 (the HSP ESC supports down to a 13 turn motor) and put the spacers above the springs to get the stiffness up a bit.  Goes WAAAY better now!

Use a better battery than the one it came with- it's crap.

Still bottoms out on the road so I melted a lighter flint into the chassis under the rear diff.  Now I get a cool shower of sparks over big bumps... :D

i found a set of set screws (grub screw) for the droop instead of the screws i used first. look 10 times better. but i posted a new thread on my mods for this car. monday i get my stuff so those pics and a list of mods will be in that thread.

the flint under the chassie is a way better idea than puting it the tireshttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/thumbup.gif
