I really need a tt-01 or somthing but in the meantime ive bought my friends subaru impreza that he made through de agostini, and yes, it is a hobby grade r/c, but as hobby grade r/c's go its bargain absement, not worth the price at all, ive already shattered a pinion gear, fucked a section of the diss (they gave out aother one for free :) and poo'ed up the sercohorn for the steering, nothing a little homebrewing cant fix, i also bought new pinion gears, one plastic one steel, and a new crown gear, steel, a 72 tooth, and a smaller one, close to 50, i cant remember, ill check later, i bought a generic sport 540 motor for 30 bucks which is still betterthan the stock 540 motor and upgraded the electronics with some parts from my traxxas nitro sport truck (the transmitter/receiver from bycmo is a shocker.) im reinforcing the chassis with some metal straps in an L shape (attachign to the chassis plate and then to the suspension towers, also a set of metal rods between both towers for ridgidity. ive already tested it out, whipping my friends modified mini-z and with some further tuning itl be a great little practice car. itl allow me to re-hone my skills before i get a better car, im used to driving a loose of road nitro :S anyway have fun, and i suppose here are some pictures. i know it looks a bit messy, im gonna buy a new cover and tidy up the chassis once i reinforce it.

because of the dodge quality of bycmo cars the cables were too large for the body, it made it look distorted and rub on the wheels.
