And its done (no Orion 900s inside because I prefer hybrids for casual days)- FWD, -1.5 toe to compensate for +1.5 the GPM knuckles added somehow and the manufacturer stickers as well as a new version of my own. Last pix is w/ Modifiers '99 coupe.

So I'll never stop saying the #1 moral of this story- if you HAVE the $ for a better RC, get it. Any homebrew mocks or general experiments will never surpass a superior platform, especially after hop ups.

Otherwise thanks for the comments and taking the time to read through. Stickers coming on tonight.
its not the car, it the driver that counts..... if a really bad driver is racing the world fastest car but cant control it, he midas well be racing a metro... no matter what your still going to have the same outcome...

Show me a vid of a stock radio xmod beating any 2.4 RC and I'll believe you. No one would upgrade anything if it were solely in the driving ability.

For all its worth, this is like a rebuilt race version of any car and I see nothing wrong with showing what brands' parts made that happen. On a stock xmod/real car, a sticker for new springs or an intake would be rice, but on this civic its not.

Don't get me wrong, not that stickers won't looks good on the civic, but the quality of the sticker just don't looks good, they don't looks clear at all and they are also not to scale. If you do want to put stickers on it, then at least get some detailed one.

Thats the best downscaling I can do and keep them legible. If you have better solutions please throw them at me. Clear won't do much good on black, so I had to use white sheet base instead. Black did come out aweful, so I'll try to touch that up.

you're both right, and you both know it. a good car is necessary, and a good driver is necessary. if you have two people with the same skill, one racing a del sol, the othger a murcielago, it's the car that makes a difference, but if you both have del sols, and one dude's a 3 year old, then yeah...

Stay somewhat on topic dude. I have a feeling you don't own a track, can't get to a track, nor have actually skilled 1/28 RC drivers near you to even begin saying half the things that you say.

I'll end it. Drop the attitude, both of you. Neither of you are very kind with your retorts and both of you deserve infractions for spaming a thread, regardless of "who started it." Keep it up and I promise you those infractions. Keep it on topic or take it to Private Message. This bickering is getting old fast. Next comment on this conversation will receive infraction points.

Winner, you're already walking on thin ice for spaming. I would be careful.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Update- drifts decent for what it is. Working to share my set of narrow and wide tires between MA and this thing to compare them side by side, so to speak.

Na, prolly not. I have a huge shortage of matching ones and I now need 2 separate drift sets (pulling plastic tires on whim is NOT fun). Good thing is that i DO like the iwaver advan racing rims I got, but the bad thing is that I thought they sold in sets of 4...

Nice upgrade...

The rest of your post got deleted. That discussion was ended earlier and warrants infractions. That went/goes for everyone, not just winner and skv012a.
