Electric powered Serpent 1/8th scale

Brushless Serpent Vector NT

This news piece is just for a bit of fun as i appreciate when people make things like this due to the work, and in this case the craftsmanship, involved in such a project. This particular project is from a guy called Rene (Serum), that judging by the other conversions he has made, knows a thing or two about making a long term project like this. As far as i know the car hasnt been driven yet but what he has done is custom make a new radio plate, motor mount, battery mount and gearbox shaft and single speed assembly and stick in a brushless system. It should be pretty wicked to see when finished.

You can check out more pictures of this project here, or see some of his other amazing pieces of work here.

Tech Racing TA05 Athlete conversion kit

Tech Racing TA05 Athlete

Tech Racing, makers of the MY07 Medusa EX, have announced their new Athlete conversion set for the Tamiya TA05. Featuring a long center upper deck, the car is now super rigid, making it perfect for high traction surfaces and the new kit also sports a much lower center of gravity than that on the standard kit. Another new item in the conversion kit is a new motor mount that allows you to remove the motor without having to remove the pinion gear and the part is also made in such a way as to keep the center of gravity as low as possible.
