411 - Flashback Friday: Guess Who’s Back?

 

Almost ten years ago I’ve bought a second Madcap as donor car to refubish mine. The Madcap has been my first proper RC car and it carries the memories of its purchase day when I went to the local hobby shop with my father. In these days I’m thinking about to rescue it, to revamp it and to place it on a shelf as relic of the good old days.

410 - A Song For Billy Ray: electronics completed (Sorry For Being Late)

Finally the Carson Reflex Start radio set have been arrived with its own receiver in the box so I've been able to install it in to the Blitzer chassis. 

I have to admit that the receiver is very small, smaller than my expensive Futaba 3PV ones.

409 - A Song For Billy Ray: Something Went Wrong With Body Positioning

After the rescue of the unused Beetle body I've placed it on the Blitzer chassis but in a different position to try to give the car a more aggressive appeal.

Unfortunately this time something went wrong and it came out in a much higher, backwarded and disappointing position than expected. To save the day I will swich the front body post with a shorter one to lower the body and I will make some cuts to move it ahead.
