haha she is very good at "guiding" you through purchases
you need this, then how about this, then need this, battery need?

I presume you got the GP 3700 mah batts?
also did you get the battery connectors?
I am not sure how many amps the stock motor will generate underload, you may need to get better battery connectors if you upgrade your motor.

original tamiya connectors sometimes just cMI

enjoy!

LOL ya, the stock tamiya connectors will melt if using a more powerful motor!

Just a mini survey, when assembling your car(s), what is the part that you find most sian to fix?

For me I find it a chore to fix up oil shocks and gluing tyres

I freaking hate cutting the lexan car covers! they are a real pain the A$$ maybe i dont have the right tool seen those scissors with a curved tip where sells that...
what i do at the moment is to use a hobby knife to cut on the shallow lines, then bend the plastic till it breaks off..

thanks...

btw some of the things i did and wanna share...

1) added foam at front , rear and sides to absorb impact.



2) used wire to do a cross so that rear part of body shell will not sway to the side.



3) used lighter to burn the ulgy cutting marks at wheel arches to make it look smoother.



lastly, i love my ford focus.

wah riaos~ why get 2x slow charger? topup abit $ can get a better charger~

wanted to.. but winnie told me unless i get those more expensive one. cos those 30 dollar charger will kill the batt over time. will have to slow charge the batt every now and then. therefore slow charger is recommended if wanna prolong batt life

anyway i got 2 x 3700 can last at least 2 hour non stop. it's good enough for me
