Ok i did the coolest thing to a $.25 department store rc car that i got from a yard sale. Description: 12in long, 5in wide, no suspention, complete replica of a grand cherokee, 2wd, gear diff, super crappy electronics and a 380 motor. before i changed it i took it for one last drive, which was slow and uneventfull. Then i cut up the motor mount for the 380 motor untill i could fitt a stock, silver can 540 motor it (i will get a modified motor soon). I dont have a speed control for it but i did hook up the steering and wired the battery directly to the motor just to see how it works. I thought it wouldnt be much of a differance but when i pluged that battery in, the diff unloaded on the left side (this was on a paved road!)and it must gone about 22mph, top speed and i turned the wheel so very slightly and it fliped 8 times and landed on its top. I love this car. My expenseve cars havent recived any attantion in 2 weeks.

Maybe before we get a 9 turn in it, we should get porportional steering and porportional throttle. Then I can pack my dually in there, and run with 7 cells and my 9 turn :eek:
