For all the EVO models, excluding the truck, just use LiPo.
It's a much easier install. Trust me, if you screw up your chassis in the process, you're screwed. Plus, if you make a bottom cover, you can just not stick tape the lipos to the chassis, and to charge or store them, unscrew the cover, and screw the cover back on. In case if they short/are ready to blow up, you can unscrew the cover, in contrast to ripping them off. That's the only worry I have on my evo, cause I use super-mount tape, which might be hard to get off....O well... Nice collection. May I suggest, you shouldn't buy ebay lithium packs, they can't solder, fake deans, the batteries tend to be rather old. Get someone to make them for you, and last, get a LiPo/Li-ion charger off all-battery/batteryspace/XI for the packs. |

that was my plan to get lipo for all my evos, but i am short on cash. i just bought that barricade like an hour or 2 ago at rs, for like 31 bucks, and i just drove it, its great. i love it.i wanted to get li ion for my civic and maybe my lancer, but like i said, no money, and i dont think i could install them myself (at least if i had somebody install them i could blame them if they destroyed my car, ) so yeah.

Well, just buy one car's owrth of bearings first with lithium.
Trust me, don't spend all your money at once. Plus, why have 3 of the same car with lithium and bearings?? Pointless IMO. I would focus on 2 cars max, but start at one slowly. You won't regret that. Trust me, it is worth it to do it this way, that's why I'm selling all my parts, to make 2 nice cars. |

I spy a bad PJ on the Titan lol. Nice Collection! How's about you beat on it like I beat on my hummer. This is not a lie, I drove it off 20 foot drops, down 20 foot steep hills, and other crap.

thnaks for all the comments guys. about the white to blue mustang, well, i was sick of looking at the god awful white paint i put on it so i scraped it all off (it was really thick) and then i painted it again. the pics make it looks horrible becuz it actually looks pretty nice in real life, it sparkles! homestar, pm me. spr, that titan is coming along real nice. i put a coat of red metallic paint on it last night, i taped off the windows this morning and ill be painting them tonite along with the tail gate handle thing, tail lie covers and headlite covers, black of corse, and the grille im going to put a chrome like spray paint on it, then clear coat the entire thing. um, about the pool, lol, its deepest spot is 8 feet, and it makes a great photo-scene for xmods, which is why i do it, i havent dropped any xmods in there... yet, so im not worried, as long as my cat doesnt come over there im fine. i try to get the pics quickly so nothing happens to my beloveds! thanks for all the comments, oh, yeah, the hummer, it was my first, i want to get rid of both of them, and the f-150, and the other trucks when i finish them, so unofficially for sale. the hummer was in good condition when i got it for christmas (not last year, year before that) but i wanted an sut project and totally gave up on it, then i put it back on my cahssis and flipped it several times til the whole back just fell off.
