That of course got our minds working on how we could use FPV in RC cars.

E-Buggy gets a Euro Paint Makeover

A quick back story before I get into the painting. I have been running my 8ight-E 2.0 for many years. My friends all wonder why it hasn't fallen apart. I considered upgrading to the 3.0 when it came out, but decided I am most competitive with the car I'm used to. The 4.0 is such a different animal, I was afraid I would have to update to keep up with parts compatibility.

In the past there were only two options for batteries to power your racing machine’s electronics; hump pack or straight pack; a four-cell dry-cell holder is never an option for a racer. If you want to go way back, NiCds were once the only way to go, but they have been nonexistent for some time.
