Default Operation:Destroyer

Operation: Destroyer was my first crack at a completely custom Xmod. The finishing touches are just now being put on the chassis' electronics, courtesy of Bondo. A couple of months ago, a friend gave me his 05 mustang that he had broken running it through a puddle. Bored out of my mind, i went online and ordered a bunch of alloy, an AM chassis, and a Saleen S7 iWaver body. Here's some pics:



All that remains of the 05 Mustang is the servo
Specs:
Body:
Saleen S7 Iwaver body
Wheels:
Scion BK wheels w/ XI blue lock nuts
Chassis: Atomic Mods Stiletto chassis
Motor: Atomic T2 High Current
Battery: Li-ion
Fet Setup: V3 board
Hot Racing:
F & R knuckles
F & R axles
F & R Lower control arms
F & R Upper shock towers
Rear skid plate
Motor head sink
R Dog bones
GPM:
Motor Cradle
Front gear box cover
Rear gear box cover

WTH did I build this car for? Because i wanted to have one of the fastest Xmods on the forum as well as letting the S7 live up to its name...even in a 1/28 scale car. While Bondo speedchecked it for me, we couldn't get definite results because the tires kept flying off the rims, i think the best result he had before he had to stop was 58KMH...we still don't know the top speed.

sweet car man, S7s are amazing, you should put the black saleen rims on this car though since it is a saleen, and paint the spokes of these rims black and put them on the baaadbird with the rear tires put on backwards (some trimming may be needed)...its just an idea/suggestion

Glue your tires to the rim with even like super glue. They will hold even longer.

Nah MNM makes crazy motors, the dude had the first 40mph xmod on ground I thought. I read it somewhere on XMW...
I got his SS EVO 26t arm, but his motors are very fast, and he made it go.
I have a feeling mine will beat his, but mine will be pretty similar.

Junk had his on the stock gears.
Man...I bet it was 30mph tops.
See, when you have the camera lower...it looks faster and since it's smaller, it looks like it's flying.
He was close, but it wasn't 40mph.
Maybe mine will hit 40mph, we'll have to see......

Hmmm....suicide, we should have a contest to see whos car is faster LOL.

Ha, try Brickmodders 99kph brushless xmod, or Viperdouts brushless gen1, or MNM's 4 cell (AA lithium) RSX....

Then you got everyone who runs an X-2 lightspeed with Li-po's...

Your probably 10th or 11th...

Later,
RedSXmodder

EDIT, nice ride. The rims and body are nice and clean...
