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.

405 - LRP Buggy Special 4. My Choice For The Blitzer, Again!

The build/revamp of the Stadium Blitzer I’ve decide to gift the young Billy Ray is going a bit chaotic but the recent fail with the body paint destabilized my a bit maybe because of it’s started from a quick inspiration.

As motor for the Blitzer I’ve rescued from my Madcap this LRP Buggy Special 4, already installed in the Blitzer but ran some months after in the Madcap… a kind of return to home and, more strange, without any memories about its performance, we will see.

I’ve also refined, curling the wires, the Quicrun ESC according to the Tamiya servo wires already in place.

404 - Beetle Body Ruined! When It’s The Case To Show Mistakes.

Well I don’t know if it is the same for every modeller but, in my 40 years long experience, I’ve witness that fails are part of this hobby and, in this modern age where every model on the Net seems to be finished by a pro, I want to show my most recent fault.

To give to this Kamtec Blitzer Beetle repro body a dynamic and fresh look I’ve planned to use the dish soap painting technique that I’ve never experienced before but something goes wrong: much soap I suppose. I’ve tryed to save the savable but at some point I have to give up.

The ruined body was destinated (and trimmed on porpouse) to be placed on my revamped Stadium Blitzer so to give to the car the same appeal (a kind of Blitzer Beetle with a lowerd body) I’ve rescued this other Kamtec body in origin used on my CR01.
