HPI Datsun 510 with Novak 17.5 and 6 cell NiMh

Finally have a working radio (Spektrum DX3S) that isn't too glitchy to use well.

Whats up with the back end? Cut it out for better ventilation? :O

[cimjoeino]

@Refleqkz the body comes in two pieces, and the rear end uses some small pieces of double stick tape to keep it attached. you can see how poorly i did with the paint job (it's all flaking off) and after rolling it over once with a crap transmitter, all of the paint that the tape stuck to came off and it's not really a good surface to reattach it. I call it Roadkill ha

I want one, any parts I should get as spares, they're going to be getting hard to find soon...

nice running video...

[cimjoeino]

@axelsfolks you MAY want another spur gear (just in case) but i would recommend that you get another set of rims/tires if they are still available. It doesn't use them up quickly, but there is gradual wear that occurs. I can't really think of anything else, it's a pretty sturdy kit!

Where did you get the body? I had the nicest datsun 510 years back and I would really like to make an rc one to look at....Thanks!

@london1817 unfortunately it came with the HPI Cup Racer kit that I bought, I'm not sure if you can buy the body separate or not though, sorry!

HPI just rocks... I have a bunch of old RS4 Chassis, from PRO3.... Backwards. The original RS4 Pro, with the rear gear box, instead of rear belt drive... I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!

@bigbadtruck1 it's about 7 or 8 months old right now, hasn't gotten much run time since i bought my scx10 and my brushless emaxx. i'm also kinda starting to get in to airplanes too so it's getting some shelf time.
