Thanks guys! Just had all of those free oval stickers that DDM sends with every order and started with that. At one point I liked the fact that the color pattern fits my build and decided to carry on.
 
New engine, new design, work in progress!

Started to like the TC cage look and decided to get one. With the new design there is added weight so I decided to get an engine more powerful than the stock G320RC which was more than enough for the old configuration. But with this new configuration I'm going with something different. I also decided to use a steering servo (HS805mg) for throttle. More for braking power than acceleration.

The trusted g320 stock that's being replaced.

Thanks!

I hear you! The constant "do I need it, do I not" is the one that can kill me. For this project it was easy to make a decision with the added weight. Having the G320 actually gave me an idea of what the next engine should be.
 
MAN ! just went through the whole read. the shorty is FULL ON SWEET AZZ unit. how did i miss this!

trench meat THE ONLY tire worth eating ! though the crushers would help out the dreaded DISCONTINUE situation. the rears all the way around, the only way to show up. asphalt/ offroad truly the king of rip and grip!

Is that the 9.4hp monster? :D Should be a blast!

Btw, in the photo on their website, it does indeed appear with the 1107, you can probably get in touch with them and ask them to change it.

Thanks Ice!

It was the 9.4hp, but according to Sean it's now 9.9hp because of the High Performance BIllet transfers I had them add to it. I've send them an email, waiting for a response.

Sent the 990 back and they replaced it with a 1107.
