Default Former Project Triple Threat Supra Revived!

So my worst fears of dead liths got reversed into hope.... now Project triple threat has been canceled, but originally it was called triple threat for a reason.



Triple Threat was my project to show XMod Newbs hope and education to Xmods and where they came from. The project was orignally gonna be sold off as 3 Custom made/tuned Xmods (drift, drag, and grip thus the name triple threat). Sadly enough, two of the board FET stacks died on my, and with funds tight i canceld....

Anyways, the Supra Represents the Drag tuning. It has Custom Experimental 2x2 FETs, liths, and a custom built motor. Electrically it's BLTs last greatest work, mechanically its the best i could put together, and appearance got the same treatment. The Paint job is not done but having revived the liths has made me work on this... So following a tutorial posted by TripleXXXmodder I made a custom chasis... and here's the results:




those are Alum Rims


The chasis template was a lil off but still really good none the less.



The shell is sitting nice and low and sexy lol


It's kind've a tight fit too, but it feels so good.

Maybe a custom sheetmetal-looking front bumper with a giant "turbo" intake, that would actually cool the electronics?

dude, that pic looks funny. maybe that's why they're funny cars...
anyways, the supra looks very good as is.
if you're up to it, cut out the vents in the front bumper to allow air to come in to cool off your motor.
the fet stack should have enough cooling provided by the air that flows under the car.

Yeah, it's a custom drag body, not a normal tC.

I know, but that was the best example I could find.
