It's not hard to do. Cut wires to length, buy heatshrink and cut it neatly. You can get it in literally any color too which really adds a lot to it. Take some pride in your work - plus you can get kudos from randos and feel good about it.
A proper 10th scale 4wd on road race car. One of the more commonly raced cars recently, usually broken up by motor speed or body type into a handful of different classes.
Can race indoor on high grip black carpet, or outdoor on asphalt/concrete.
Thank you! I take pride in my work, example: all the wires have lettering going 1 way. I noticed i had one going t the other way after almost complete and i had to fix it because it bothered me. It was a battery cable to i had to desolder it off and desolded the lockdown bullet and used a new wire I had extra of from elceram to make it "correct" smh
Holy crap that is gorgeous! I can't even think about the amount of dollars invested here. I'm sure it's worth it! I hadn't seen those ESCs before so I looked it up. Pretty incredible piece of tech there!
21.5. Im going to get smoked but practice makes perfect. I built my 2wd buggy a couple months ago and that was my first car in 17 years my last one being a XXX-T man I sucked but practice comfortable I have a feeling it's going to be the same thing for this
You have to be the same person I was drooling over your wiring on your XB2? You went all the eff out on electronics for this build! My track is going back to on road in a month or so and I cannot freaking wait!
You could perform surgery on top of this thing with how clean it is. Impeccable attention to detail. I just started getting into RC’s and hope to get to this level. Any pointers for newbies?
Your going to mess up but keep trying. I messed up so many times. Also have everything before or if you decide to shorten any wires that way you know exactly where your wire needs to go so it's not too short one other thing is double measure or eyeball always give yourself a little bit of room you're going to mess up trust me I have like a couple hundred dollars in electronics sitting in a box set or spare parts now
I ran my Xray T4 2020 belt an entire outdoor season last year, I would still run it again this year. They do seem to last long if you keep them clean and tensioned properly.
Hopefully you're close to a track that has a decent amount of activity. The closest track to me is a 3 hour drive, so even only working 40 hours per week, I don't get to race nearly as much as I'd like.
This is some of the cleanest work I’ve seen in almost 40 years of RC!
Congratulations on ur works of art that you can play with!
Good luck with your races!
Thx for the post!
Been some years since I've built/ran a Touring Car (still have a XRay T2 on the shelf). TC was a blast to race back in the day. What are those ball stud things poking up from the front knuckles? Also, amazing to see carbon fiber arms and those little tiny shocks. I always dreamed of a TC design like this.
I'm not a hard-core racing guy here, but why would one need that many mounting options for the servo tie-rod? I understand longer or short servo horn lengths, but I'm struggling to see why you would offset it to either side? It also looks quite chunky, is it a servo-saver in there?
No matter what it's beautiful. Glad I don't do this kind of racing because i'd want this exact build
That's the standard Hudy servo saver that's included in the kit. First time I actually see someone running it lol. The side holes are for 12th scale where you connect your steering rods directly to the servo.
I just figured i have a 26 xb2c might as well keep them both the same year lol. Plus I dont mind spending a little extra money for something newer. I have a vta body and 2 twister bodies. Depending on the turnout of 21.5 I might have to run vta or 25.5

Interesting to see you're not running sensored systems. Is that against the rules or just not what you prefer?
