Street racer mods
 
Alright. Big fast and furious movie fan here. When I see something I like I try and do something relative EG visit boring squirrel sanctuary = Squirrel tycoon for PC!
Anyhu, I got meself a panther RC car, poor I know! But using bit char G parts, all char g mods work anyway.
the point!
:confused: I want to give my car a street racer llok, and i hope that u people out there will help me: I need a good lowering mod, (i dont wanna cut the front bar off and glue it on again, im scared!), someway to get cheap decals, and any smart git out there might know how to make a body kit for my car.
Oh and does anyone know a mod that costs nothing to speed up your car?
And soon (dont click until ive actually uploaded it) i will make a website, www.rchaven.greatnow.com , that will be a collection of all the greatest R/c knowledge in the world, and anyone who submits something to my website or helps me in anyway will have their names up in lights!
plz get back to me about the street racer mods though,
cheers,
bye!

Leaving your body shell off the car makes it faster for free.

I suggest maybe go to a hobby store and find some lexan body shells. Just go and ask the guy to show you Lexan HO Scale Slotcar Bodies.

they're clear, very light, and fun to work with. Not only that, they're VERY cheap compared to the Microsizers/Char-G/LXX body sets. My nissan R390 Shell cost me $0.70.

Also get some of that velcro that has a self-adhesive backing. I put velcro on the chassis and inside the slotcar body to hold it together.

So now you have a clear shell to work with. you paint it on the inside using flat (not glossy) paint. There's some paints that are made specifically for painting lexan, but I have had okay luck with testors model paints. It can chip off the inside if you hit something hard, but other than that, it's fine. This gives you a few things:

1) A very lightweight body, which means more speed

2) A clear shell that you can paint, which means you can do cool designs on the car and make your own cool, custom street racer paintjob

3) If you find a slotcar body that is tall enough inside, you can easily cut it out so that it's so low it almost scrapes the ground.

The downside of the slotcar body is that it's very flexible, and won't protect the car if you crash into something very hard, or fall off a desk.

you can also put pencil lead in your gears to make it faster and quiter

cuz it lubricates it
also make sure the lead is soft a hard one wont to any good:D
