Default TerXmod EVO

Finally finished the large part of this car--the body. By all means it isn't perfect, but it is my first. The windows accidentally got glued to the body while they were just taped in and wasn't gonna come out without some hacking or possibly breaking so they stayed for the spraying. Gonna spray them eventually when the orange cures a little better so not to pull the paint when I mask them things off.


So what all does it consist of?!!!

I bought the 1:28 scale body off an ebay seller. Really rare piece as the Japan company that originally made this kit back in 1979 is no longer in business.

Custom Mini-z TaGu Osian rims(wide) from Wild-Z racing wrapped with some 10* Atomic "V" pattern 12mm wide tires.

Custom HEMI wound 27T arm in PNR can built, broken-in and tested by Eric @ Main-iac-motors.(this motor runs way cooler than my old Chili)

9:25 gear ratio

Losi Mini-t receiver/transmitter and servo.

2S(7.4V) Lipo battery

Custom Carbon Fiber extended chassis(DIY)

Custom Length Carbon Fiber AWD shaft.

Originally had a grip of aluminum parts that I wasn't too thrilled with so I sold all but the dogbones, heat sink motor strap, and tie-rod. Also had the GPM AWD kit and one of the AWD shaft gears broke after literally driving 3 feet. lol. The differentials were too tight and never really loosened up like they should've. I then bought front/rear Atomic diffs and wasn't too pleased with those either so back to the stock ones and they keep the car going much straighter.



Here's some pics.









This kit was originally Nissan GT-R EVO kit. Nearly $500 went into this little thing and I think I'm about done with it as I've since picked up an HPI Cup Racer(currently assembling).
