drift car

[himynamebebrian]

ok, so i decided i will post some more photos because i have some questions.
i am not sure what i should do with the vents, i cut them all out a while ago but they dont look right all open, i want to get an intercooler and put it on the outside but i don't know where to get one, and don't have time to make a custom one like in the tuts. here is a pic of the old lithiums before i sent them back, i am getting the ones from AM and taking the yellow shrink wrap off of them if its not bad for me to do, tell me if it is. well, anyways heres the pics,

hood vent:
this shows the side kinda and the hood.::
front vents:
rear vents.::
old lithium ions minutes before they were shipped back.

im going to see if i can find a picture of them attached for you guys. comments, suggestion, constructive critisism welcome

[himynamebebrian]

heres a pic of a pic, its not good quality but it works, i changed the blue zip ties to yellow, floresent yellow. there sweet with the royal blue GPM and body.!

[dduerksen92]

whitch stage 2 motor is it?i have the red in my acura.

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

It's looking great man. You should have some new AM liths and charger soon. Don't crash into everything and ruin all the hard work.

[himynamebebrian]

yeah, i have a cement floor in my basement thats got a pool table and im going to practice going around it and in my room which has a wood floor.
i have the white stage 2 motor. its got loads of torque. i will be getting a new body probably but im going to be careful. thanks.

[himynamebebrian]

i guess i will post some close ups of the ep,

this is what it looked like before i got it back from XXX

generation 1 tight turns resistors (solidered by XXX) thats only one of them.
here is my 2x2 FET stack of the 4562 or w.e FETS

here is the power switch bypass.

you saw the liths that went in, here is a picture of it when i got it back from XXX.


the blue zips are changed to yellow, and the batteries were defective, (XXX made it right) and i will be recieving the 2s2p i think it is from am. whichever pro kit goes for the generation 1 xmods. comments and suggestions are welcome

i only have one car. thats why there are so "many ideas jammed" into it.
thanks no presents, might be getting that yellow switchblade and front and rear a-arms, front swing shafts.

[XMDrifter]

if you have so many ideas, write em down so you can do 1 idea at a time as you buy xmods. that way, it won't look like a mishmash of random stuff.

[himynamebebrian]

i don't really yhink there are many ideas in this . i hace
-cut out vents and did body work.
-painted
-upgrade chassis.
thats it.
oh and maybe lights

[himynamebebrian]

I PURCHASED THE CHASSIS! and GPM. heres some pics. 77.50 shipped for all of it includeing paypal fes. cant wait. it was shipped today.




YEAH! tell me what you think i payed for each piece. ha if you guess close(+ or - 5$) for each i will tell you.~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

i will be getting my charger and liths from am soon i hope. should get this close to driveable by next friday (27) or monday (30)

[himynamebebrian]

***UPDATE***

OK, this is gonna be a big one.
i have sofar
-full GPM drivetrain, blue
-front and rear a-arms blue GPM.
-front and rear shocks blue GPM
-SWITCHBLADE CHASSIS
-2x2 FET stack
-custom paint and bodywork.
-on/off bypass
-liths are in the mail to my house with a charger. (just needs a power supply.)
-AWD
-S2 white motor (will be upgraded)
-drift kit tires and rims. (will be upgraded and have been painted.)
FINAL PRODUCT SOFAR!:::*****::::****:::::*****

this is the ride height of it at the moment, im not sure if it will change but as of right now that is where it is at.

front GPM. its full except for front towers. all blue except for 0degree tie rod which is silver.



this is the rear GPM drive train all blue and im not sure if im getting the heat sink, probably not though.

i did some pinstripeing along the entire car. it is a silver stripe. looks professional.
i ziptied a energizer on to see how it sits in the car and its a perfect fit so i cant wait for my liths to come in.

for those of you who are wondering, i got all my Gpm on this car for a total of.... !!!!!!!*****!!!!!!***85$!!!!!!******!!!!!!!!!!**** ****!!!!!!!!! its really not all that heavyer and with the switchblade (38) it ended up getting lighter. this thing is going to rock!

i put mesh on the back vents , it turned out great. no pics sorry. comments are wanted! suggestions too. thank you all.! its not quite done yet so keep watching.

[rsx racer]

Your missing the front and rear gearboxes in GPM I believe.

[SkylineLvr]

Sounds like you got a good deal on everything. I'm painting my switchblade chassis a metallic blue. It looks good so far. I've heard that if the car is too light it won't drift well. I don't know for sure. My car drifts just fine with the switchblade chassis. I don't have gpm on it though. I will eventually though

[rsx racer]

Yeah everything does look good. I'd recommend getting a new body from atomicmods or something similar.

[himynamebebrian]

yeah i will be. ha its hacked up pretty good. but thats all i need to complete my full GPM, just the front and rear gear boxes.

[XMDrifter]

btw they're called "towers" because they support the suspension
but anyways, nice drift car.
keep the basher-looking body because i know drifting really beats up bodies.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

very very nice, i like the yellow, nice color choices, but idt blue gpm will suit the yellow, but w/e it's not that important, again very nice

btw, friday will be Feb 27, but monday will march 2, just so you know there's no such thing as FEB 30th hehehe
