I'm wondering if anyone has any good ides for a Skyline. I already have yanked the existing sterring motor and modified the body for a set of steering servos and pulled the crappy stage 1 motor and replaced that. I'm in the process of cutting the hood so that it can fit over the servos. I sanded it down and have a nice pearl base coat with a neon green over coat, double gloss coats, and a brite yellow super street emblem on the hood. ive lowered the body, which bye the way is easy with the skyline, just remove the front clip piece, shave off the end lip(not the one that hooks into the body the other side) and invert. boom, instant lowering.
lots more mods, to many to mention...

ok to cut this short, does anyone have any good ideas or projects i can do?? its already faster than a stage 2(raced my buddy) and looks flippin sweet but i feel there is so much more to be done?? any help???

:D throw another two cells in it. look around in any of badco s threads and im sure youll find that

throw some ground effects and lights in it (people are makn fog lights so why not use those extra 2 lights to light the bottom?

custom skid plates

custom painted interior

make your own decals

billet grill

haydralics(jk i wish)

aa battery packs

and thats about all i can think of for now so i guess im done for now :D :D :D do all those and you got one crazy car

sounds good, i was thinking about decals but i didn't want to draw attention away from the paint. I have the lights but im working on making the fog lights. i just cut the front bumper and put in some black mesh for the grill and side vents(looks tight). i wish i had room for 5 cell or even 6 cell but i think im gonna go either single or doulbe 9v or a set of rechargable little ones(you know what im talking about). do you think if i do 2 9v's i might burn the motor?? speaking of motor, anyone have a good how-to on rewinding??
