New RC By Losi! I Want!!

Well as many of you already may know, Losi has released a new Micro RC.  The 1/24 Micro Truggy!  After of putting back project's and worry more about my family, the wait has finally come true.  I planned in my head of doing a truggy style build after the larger 1/8 scale Losi 8ight.  Good thing I never started working on my project!  So now here we stand, picture's and information for us to see, but nothing on the shelves.  So I guess we could say, I still continue to wait for a micro truggy.  Being that I have always had a passion for the Losi micro's and have to have a new RC every chance I get.  You can bet that I will be a owner of this awesome looking truck.  So stand by for picture's of my Micro Truggy when they hit the shelves and when I pick one up.  I will be more than likely going with the blue shell.  Looks pretty cool.

My Donated Vendetta Rally

Here is my Vendetta Rally that was donated to me from Dave off of the rctech forum's. With Dave's friendly donation, not only gave me one more Vendetta to the list, but also gave me the final model which I was missing out on. So once again, thanks for this sweet looking rally car. I can honestly say by the looks and comparing to the other model's that the rally is my favorite. Expect to see a build up post coming soon for this. But for now, a couple of picture's.






And the group.

Banzai Racer making it's way closer to the track!

After receiving the Vendetta SCT, it only made this Banzai racer closer to being able to run at the local indoor carpet track.  After converting some of the SCT part's over to run this Banzai setup, this is what I have come to. Still needing to order the wheel's that this will run (HPI Cup Racer), finish the painting, and finally do the decal work.  As mentioned before, this will be a "Hello Kitty" themed #5 Banzai carpet racer.  This is now running the longer wheel base SCT chassis, drive shaft and ofcourse the battery strap.  This setup has the ball differential's in the front and rear along with the carbon fiber servo hold down.  This will be running a stock brushed setup for stock class racing.  I did have to make my own rear body mount's to run this body.  I fabricated a rear mount to use the ST body mount's (picture's below).  This is also running the ST arm's all around along with the front and rear shock's and shock tower's.  Enough yack and onto more picture's of the progress that has been made and the rest of the Vendetta clan!

NOTE: The ST is now running the SCT arm's on the front and rear, along with the wheel's.  Setting this truggy low to the ground give's it a pretty sweet and unique stance.  I am thinking of keeping it this way as the look has grown on me more and just flat out looks cool!

Finally the Short Course Truck!

Finally received a Vendetta SCT!  Seemed like a long time looking for one has finally paid off.  This truck came with some goodies.  More goodies than I thought would be in it.  Sort of like opening present's on Christmas.  When I got this I tore into it to find it had the carbon fiber servo hold down, upgraded drive shaft output gears, aluminum front lower arm's, upgraded unknown green color spur gear, 3 deg toe in rear mount and after further taking it apart, I discovered a set (front and rear) of ball differential's.  A nice score and a top needed upgrade. It did come with the Tactic 2.4 Ghz receiver and the stock esc, but did not come with a motor nor a transmitter.  Who am I to complain after finding the small list of upgraded item's.  Onto a couple more picture's as this SCT did not last long before converted to the Banzai racer!
