Yeah I love the look of that R390 body and I used to race with it. I painted up one real nice and was planning to paint up a second one for my wife's car. But man it is big and heavy. It is so wide I had to do special mods to the wheels just to get them wide enough to look right. So after realizing all that I never did make the second one.

I finally got the United RC motor mounts in (a month after ordering them). We were running costum made mounts that were a little flimsy but I don't think these mounts will change the handling much. They are going to be heavier then the old mounts though. They are VERY beefy so they will need quite a bit of trimming on the sides to let the batteries fit.

Micro RS4 and M18. With the RS4 Adam glued a mount onto the front to screw the body down onto and for the rear its just a long screw going down to one of the holes in the upper chassis (he might have drilled his own hole in the rear). The rear of the body is held up by the electionics under it and the rear screw is just to put tention on the body and hold it in place.

For the M18 the front screws right down onto the hole in the diff housing. In the rear its the same place only you need to make a 7-8mm tall spacer to hold the body up a little.

You glue it onto the piece above the front diff. I don't know what else to call it :-p. Also I'm not sure how tall Adam has it... it is his wifes car so I don't have it with me to look at it.

Alfred I took pics yesterday but they all came out crappy on my digi cam. They were to dark and if the flash was on the car looked like it was glowing and the backround was dark. It was my moms camera maybe I need to figure out how to work the thing better or maybe it doesn't like the floresent lights. I guess I'll do that right now actually.

If your taking closeups of your ride then you might want to check to see if its on that setting, it should have a flower on the dial.

I did know that part (thanks to Adam yesterday) but its more of a problem with lighting. I took pictures outside once before and they came out great in the sunlight. I just took quite a few pics of my open-wheel car outside I'm just waiting for them to upload onto my comp (my mom has 300+ pics on this damn thing and wont let me delete them!)

Untill then heres a pic of my 360 body that came with the M18. You can't see the details on the body because I didn't know what I was doing with the cam. The base is outlaw black and the sides are spazstix gold to green color shifting paint. The colors are seperated with a metalic red pin strip.

Ok I got the picture now. I think either the screen on this cam is off or somethings screwed up with my eyes. All of the pics were taking looking a little far to the left. Also heres some pictures showing the details of the track. Sense its a dessert theme we had to put sand and palm trees in there. Thanks to Adam's mom we have some awesome sand dunes in the unused areas.
