Modifications

So far i've taken off the robber rollers, not used the cover, made it 2 wheel drive instead of 4 wheel, and remove all unecessary parts. My max speed with all the modifications so far is 12.50 with a 2.93 charged battery.

Starting the build

Most of the building process is just snapping peices off of their plastic counterparts and snapping it to the chassis. The kit included gear grease, plastic parts, the Super TZ-X chassis, rubber tires and plastic wheels, and rubber rollers. The only peices that required use if anyu tools were the rollers.

First Day

Today we chose a car from our 2 options, mid engine or rear engine. Both of the cars are 4 wheel drive. I went with the rear engine.
