Hello!
A couple of years back, a friend of mine talked about buying an RC.
We talked about it for a while, and ended up with a WPL C24 each.
I got the KM version right away and broke the steering servo within a few minutes of my first drive outside...
So thats were my hunt for improvements started.
One of the biggest problems with the car I would say is the crappy suspension, so I tried my own cantilever suspension, many versions of it.
But eventually I decided to build one more, with the goal of being the best performer i could create myself. So I ordered one more KM-kit but this time I did the chassi rails myself.
And I decided to go with cantilever both front and rear.
While it was great for articulation, there was to much friction in the suspension, so the car would not go back to its neutral position after going over a bump. So I decided to buy some Losi Mini-T shocks in the end. And it really transformed the suspension! The best investment so far!
Since I wanted the car to perform, I had to get some 1.2 Brick tires from RC4WD and change the sluggish motor to a tamiya torque tuned with a 1:36 gearreduction. And the tires lead to me trying to shape plastic with a heatgun for the first time. I was a bit aggressive, in hind sight. But decided to paint the body anyway, as practice. And this is what it looks like now!
