Project: Firebird Track Car

[deckerz]

ok i was watching a program on the channel DAVE some of you from the uk may of heard of it and i came across a nice looking camaro. my firebird body was just sitting gathering dust waiting for a project so this is it. only 1 pic of the body with paint need to give black another 2 coats.



comment, and give me ways to improve, i need to also find some good decals for it.....

is the black in sharpie??? and the roof looks bubbly??

[bigez]

i think that is ok but is going to be a track car body or the show body

[deckerz]

the black is acrylic paint so it doesnt take too well. i put the bubble effect on but then i thought it all going to be sponsors lol. and bigez i am going to put on chassis i need to solder the board in.

show it when you got more work done

what kind upgrades are going on the chassis

[kendallcschm]

i suggest drag slicks a high torque radline and a high torque gears... 8-25 as the gear ratio... get the body kit and make it look drag... the foam tire upgrade works well on tracks too

Why drag slicks on a TRACK car? It clearly says in the title of the thread, and I cannot find the owner saying it's a drag car. Theres more then just slapping on a BK and say it's a drag car looking. Yes, the foam tires work well on RCP tracks, but the bottom of the chassis MIGHT drag agaisnt it because it's smaller then regular tires and rims.

ya but it would all so lower the cog of the chassis

[kendallcschm]

it does not drag... but it does lower the car which is a nice touch... i said drag slicks cause they give great traction.. but if thats not good then go with the foam tires... BTW they also work great on tennis courts... AWD is also good in a track car as said in your sig... i thought that high torque items because acceleration is important to get ahead on strait aways.. another way to go is to get a top speed radline... or a 180 motor for max power... and do the 8-25 gears to add torque...
