sk8r's newest toy

I just got a sumwut used electric traxxas 4tec from my cuzin for $30 it only needs a receiver and a servo (which i have) so all i need to do is hook it up and let r rip!!!! but i also need a body which i can grab for bout anothr $30, but ive got a question bout the body size.... im pretty sure i kno wut body im gonna get but i wuz wundrin if i need a 200mm body or a 190mm body or if it even makes a difference. The rims were originally silver but my cuzin painted them red and imo they look bettr, so ill just have to repaint them.

Here are sum pics:

nice thems dinky shocks though and thats a good esc i speack from exprenece

the lug

Ya they are pretty small but they work great!!!! and ive had that esc 2 but accidently fried the 1st one lol

Here's a page trying to sell their bodies...anyway they show their 190 mm body on a 4tech and it looks like it fits pretty good. Check it out and if it look good to you I'd guess that most 190 mm bodies would fit well. But the best way to find out is to take the car to your LHS and try some bodies on for size.

I saw that camaro body a while back and I've been tempted to get a 1/10 scale car just for that body. The mustang was cool too.

Out of the 3 you listed I'd go with the Bimmer (that's rich person talk for BMW ).

lol!!! and my mind is made up, im goin with the BMW M3!!

good choise the a lamborginnie would've been bad either...

the lug

True!! but im more of a bmw person.

Also here is the batt im gonna b using for this beast:
aerounts 2s 2200mah lipo-http://www.aero-nuts.com/product_info.php?cPath=32_56&products_id=530

and i was wundrin if this charger wud work-http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=10348&cat_name=CHARGERS#

Thanx

sk8r

No that charger wont work, if you ask me, go with this one i have one, my friend has one, and everyone around here has one, excellent charger! You can charge 1-3 s lipos, 2-8 cell nimhs/nicads, and you can charge lead acids too!

Best thing is, it also discharges, and you can charge 2 batteries at once!

Its 25 bucks cheaper if you go to your lhs

i wud but i just dont want to spend $100 on just the charger alone.
