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.

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.

Not much has happened to this other than taller tires.
