Deceitful Supra...It's what you don't see that gets ya.
 

Looks innocent enough from the outside? Well, it is what is packed under that shell that counts. I found a way to slap the Supra body on my 6 cell 7.2v modded chassis with out changing the appearance of the body, other than the decals.

I cut some of the rear mounting tab supports enough so that the battery pack could slide back towards the rear and get out of the windshield. I also added a spacer (bushing) between that tab and where it screws into the body. This raises the rear a little, but not too much to notice. This gives the room needed to have the battery pack under the body and still attach it properly. I hot glued the battery pack to the inside roof and installed the quick connect on the wiring so I can remove the body easily.

It doesn't sit too high in the rear...

Insides...

Where I mounted the battery pack...

wonder how much power the motor cam handle b4 burning up

hows the proformence? how much faster is it? does it heat up fast?

Wow that looks cool. How much more speed or power do you get from the 2 extra AAA batteries?

I have run it for a full charge with only a little increased heat build up. I have yet to experience any problems. As for speed, I can't tell you what the exact speed is, but it is a big difference. Off of the line, there is no competition with a normal celled car.

Well, after running it around last night, it went sooo fast that all of the decals blew off, but I did pick up some other decorations while running thru a pack of mosquitoes. Heh.

I really didn't care for the old graphics, since I have them on my Skyline too, besides, I'm going to look for some new graphics today.

well how fast do you think it goes!

All I can tell you is a lot faster than the normal car. I'm going to try to figure a way today to get a idea of the exact speed thru a long feet per minute drag.

What is really nice is the increased torque, even on the higher speed motors.

ok thanks a lot

Let's just put it this way, It's not a car to be messed with. ;)

Ecspecially after I stick either one of those stage 10 or other motors in it.

Hmmm that would be sweet when you stick a stage 10 motor in it. Geez that thing would be flying.

Hey BC

Can you give us a diagram of how exactly that you wired it all up? I have already picked up a battery holder and I am ready to but it in, but want to be sure of the wiring before I do.
