AARON'S THUNDER TIGER

[azzachaz]

Here are some pics of my Thunder Tiger TS-4N
They are a little pld because I dont have any new ones at work.

This little car hammers even with the standard motor and is competative in the B-grade and the track (3rd-4th). Could do better if i was a better driver :)

it amazes me how they are belt driven... all that power i would have thought the belts would snap.

is it 1/8th or 1/10th scale?

[azzachaz]

I have never snapped a belt yet, the other two 4wd's are shaft driven. It does sound and feel different to drive a belt driven car. Sometimes you get twigs/leaves jammed in there but it's not really a problem for on-road's

The car is a 1/10 scale. Cant afford a 1/8 but they are sweet to watch down at the track.

why dontcha cut the looooong end off the cable tie thats holding your receiver down?

[azzachaz]

lol, that's what everybody says.

It is a reusable type that you need to loosen if you want to change tha batteries. I could cut it shorter but I like the leverage when tightening it.

It is also a good way to pick up the car when it is burning hot

Here are some more pics.

The pic resizer program I use tends to make the images fuzzy. What programs do youy guys use?

If you look closely you will notice the missing pullstart :(

Should I get a new pullstart $30 or new motor $90+?

BTW. Please excuse the dirtiness of the car. I had just got back from the track where I broke the pullstart.

The exhaust is only in place becasue I had to loosen the header to get the PS off

[Matt]

to resize, i use Easy Thumbnails. its on tucows and is completely free. it works really really well, so easy to use.

the new motor will include pullstart, and of course you will get something quicker than what you have now right?

go the new motor!
go the new motor!!

Phoar.

Awesome car man, awesome. How does it go?

Where abouts are you guys?

[azzachaz]

Thanks dude.

It goes pretty good. It only has the standard motor, while some of them came out with an "EVO" version which was about twice the power.

THis is good news because it means the car can handle the extra power if I want to upgrade.

The 2 speed conversion is up on the list aswell. But it runs quick enough to keep up at the track so i'm happy.

It's my driving skills which need the upgrade most :)
