some more good and bad news
 

well the hyper runs great... well not so much anymore... I had let my gf drive the car around for a while... BAD MOVE! I had left my dx3 in school, so she was using my failmitter(duratrax futaba fm Tx&Rx) and it was really glitchy with the brushless setup. First bad thing is that she backed it into bens ankles at full speed and hit him wing first... whoops. then i tought her how to jump off a kicker ramp i have... slowly approach, once ur touching the ramp hit the gas, and let off once ur in the air. she jumped great for the first time using an RC. then she slowly approached the curb next to the ramp, then floored it into the curb and busted a steering knuckle!

the monster claims another part... i was running at my school the other day, chasing cars and doing speed runs and such, when i realized i have no power in the rear... i could do turns at full throttle and not flip... thats when i realized the rear left driveshaft sheered off! luckily i have another at home to put in. in other news, i made a screw down mount for my mmm as well as (finally) a working battery tray for my rcm lipos. pics below

You're gonna need a horizontal velcro as well..
It can slide out :P

Don't ask me how I know that >_>

there already is.. its black velcro straps.:whistle:

Ah, but I meant going through the center, of the lipo, and not top, but that works.. GOSH :D

look back at the picture... its there. black straps go along the batteries and under the tray screwed down to the chassis, and red straps go across the batteries and under the tray

a swing and a miss...

you strike out- at life

well, i got a little bored, so i came up with an idea... your chasing a car down the road, but they dont notice you... aha! a horn! so i rigged my hyper with a piezo electric whistle(90dB at 12v) powered by my 4s lipos and turned on by a servo with a limit switch on it!

but i also won at the same time! i was finally taking the box outta my closet that the hyper was shipped to me in. it was a losi 8ight 2.0 box filed with peanuts. i tripped and peanuts went everywhere. then i found a whole spider center diff in there with a 46t steel spur gear on it! now i have 2 diffs, so im gonna make one be really locked and keep my spider unlocked for racing n such

edit: i now have an illuzion hyper 8 body and free jconcepts wing on its way!

Did you spray that wing?:lol:

Only if you threw out that box without digging through it.
I was throwing out a box filled with peanuts too, and before my dad threw it out, he dug through everything, spilled it, and found 16 AA's batteries...

Not much, but if they were something else.....

Mike isnt a happy camper.... his MMM let the genie out..

Oooh boy, nice knowing you... He'll want to rampage on someone, and I bet you're the closest ^_^

I'd hide all my cars/trucks if I were you.

nah he already called castle and has another one coming
