Need to do something about the wheels. They're a tad skinny aren't they?
Don't think there'll be many back somersaults with that!!!
Got any photos with 'real' wheels on?

just cant leave it alone

the previous photo is the wing mount and skid plate i made from tooling aluminum. and this photo is the servo tray. 1/8" aluminum it moves the servo down and back for clearance on the filter.

ok here is were i got a little caried away these are hpi rear shocks 5t i think. i have them on all 4 corners. made the lower a arms so the shock mounting hole was closer to the wheel. and the front tower had to be taller so it was made as well. was a little skeptical of this idea but let me tell you this is worth the effort.
