yup, CF flames. Stock heatsink dremeled and repainted to look a little more scale. Just dremeled the sides 3 fins down, painted blue, and then painted the cut area silver to look alum.

8 cell matched gp 1100 pack


Very nice car :)

I assume that the motor is a graupner?

Also where do you get that battery-pack? I'm looking for something similar to get some higher-speed, but can't find anything on the web.

*EDIT* I can, of course, find the batteries - however not a GP-pack. Perhaps selfmade?

no, its not a graupner. It can be found at www.hobby-lobby.com under the brushed mototr section/400 size

United has their preassembled pack built with gp cells. They are somewhere on the forums. But if you are looking for matched, I don't think anyone makes them. I just know the guy who made matched packs for one18th and he hooked it up.
