408 - Carson, A Prompt Recovery After A Bad Performance!

From the early beginning, the radio set chosen for the Billy Ray project has been the Carson Reflex Start that seems to be a good option for the hands of a 11yo young gun.

Some days ago I've received the stuff ordered from Amazon but, after opening the box, I've discovered that the receiver have been missed. In two days thanks to Carson and Amanzon I've returned the the failed set and I've received a new one with its receveir so I'm ready to complete the car.

407 – A Song For Billy Ray: Motor and Esc Cabled, A Body Have Been Rescued

Well, the revamp of my Stadium Blitzer (Beetle) is confirming itself as the claimed chaotic build.

I’ve rescued the body previously used in my CR01 removing all the stickers and washing it in the wait of some custom sticker that should make it more appealing for a young gun.

I’ve also installed the LRP motor and soldered the Quicrun cables to it tabs and the ESC's switch have been sticked to the chassis wall in a easy to reach position.

The goofy antenna holder, made by a FF03 body spacer, have been moved in the middle of the chassis to match the body’s hole for the antenna pipe.

406 – Kyosho Ultima Dirtmaster Motor Swap – Cooling Down The Situation

Last year, after its build, I couldn’t enjoy my Ultima because of the high temperatures reached by the ESC using the 15x2 peak motor.

Of course I should gear down using a different pinion but I’ve decided to swap the motor to the 19T Team Orion Element bought at first for my BBX.

I hope the car keep its aggressive attitude but with lower running temperatures, finger crossed because this summer do seems to be one of the hottest.
