Wow! Looks great!
Thanks.
Managed to get out to test this today. It performed really well for its 1st run. Biggest issue is how low it currently sits. I ran 2s through it and I think 3s would give it the punch it needs to stop dragging it’s belly.
Apart from that it happily followed the lines of a Gspeed.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Right, still ironing out the bugs with this. As much as I liked it crazy low it struggled with getting hung up. 3s might have helped but it needed a little more height.

After
So, I’ve used a set of Gearhead shock tabs and I think it’s about 15-20mm increase.
They’re a trial fix as I plan on some 120mm shocks and the go back down a little.
I gave it a run today and it still did the same lines, just without dragging its belly.
Few more little adjustments and then it’s on to building a little four banger and interior.

This is coming on great, how much articulation is there on it? The driver’s not going to see much now
Thanks, not masses of flex, I’ll get a pic when I get out next time.

I managed an hour after work on some proper rocks.

So it works but has plenty of room for fine tuning and upgrades. I’ve not bothered with it but this week I decided that I’d paint it to match the Gspeed. Added a driver that I found and decorated it with a few sponsor decals. Needs more but it’ll get there.
It’s going to get a little four banger that hides the battery after it gets a good run at the Nationals.
