LI, New York Baby!
Hello my friends,

Here is my current project (been on the stove top, literally for months :()

I call her my project "Cow Pounder". I like my wheels big... my rigs low... and I have a habit of cutting my lids until the point of no return :D So here she is through a few stages... Final one is yet to be completed!

Here is how she sat for the first run... RC8FT-E with mamba monster 2200 combo, zippy 4000mah 6s1p, HPI Blast and Tremor wheels with Phaltline (belted by me) tires, by the math "theoretically" geared for 80 MPH but I am pretty comfortable to say she was capable of 70+ realistically ;)

Then of course came the learning curve... the broken parts... and the glorious goodies :D Finally settled on a good mix of Fioroni and King headz upgrades, some 100k front, 50K center, 20K rear fluids...

Now that she was pretty dialed in and reliable came the need for a lid in proper Bovine fashion so I asked my buddy Travis at bodies by neonot to give me some cow spots and true carbon fiber...

As is usually the case she lost hard battle with a curb in a full speed slide (I thought I was in control :p:) it was time for a rebuild. She is not done yet... Just need to order some parts and wrap her up but thought I would take the chance to make some big changes! Some custom CowRC green, black, and Cow Print Chassis anodizing....

Currently half assembled waiting Foam tires and regearing for over 85mph "by the math" with a plastic spur and a wonderful new power Plant... NEU Motor and about 20C and 1000mah of extra juice to go with it :D
