[marvo]

Come on,lets see it done,nice thread here.

 

[Fluidocs]

ok, lets continue...

the black blox is my 3rd channel failsave. It kills the motor by signal los, battery failure, or by switch.

The other "box" is for my lipo. Protection against heat, shocks and other things.

 

[Fluidocs]

the back and my front hydros. details on the hydros will follow. I bought them cheap from a german manufacturer. Harm.

the last ones for this year:cool2:

I trilled three little holes into my tires. There is no foam inside too. With the holes, the car isnt doing after a jump the "bunny thing..." jump jump jump...

 

[Fluidocs]

Because of a damaged ball bearing, I almost lost my rims because of extreme heat. I installed one of those like in the last pics.

it´s maybe a ølitle late to tell you this now.
but i´ll do it anyway.
i niticed that you hav emonted the rear lower wishbone mounts upside down and on the wrong side.
if you look at them you will see that they are higer in oen end than int he other.
the highets side is supposed to be nearest to the engine.
when mounted right the lower wishbone will be tilted up in the front.
this will give you an Antisquat angel that gives you more on power steering.
