10.5~!!!

I got a Roche 10.5 brushless motor!! Its sensored and sintered!!
Its 2nd hand though...
Cost me $65 + $13 for the sensor wire...

Never tried on the car...But should be quite ok...
It felt abit weak...Might be my ESC/Tx settings...Maybe can test on a touring track to see how it performs...

S15 pre-decal stage...

[Click picture to see original size]

Dun think I have the time to do in November as its quite near my exams, so I tried to finish the masking and spraying today...Now its almost complete, except for the decals which is being printed by Bryson's dad...Thanksss...

Kinda regret that I didn't spray enough white on the 1st layer of some parts...I can see some of the orange from the 2nd layer...But other than that, the whole car looks quite ok...
Maybe I'll use the decals to cover the messed up areas...

Masking was tedious for the stars and the lower edges...

The headlights are actually transparent, just waiting for the light buckets...I haven't got the time to spray some necessary parts black...

Total time spent on this shell at the moment, 4hrs...See whether can make it for the HPI event or etc bah...
