Done!

Not an entirely stock build. Li-Po retainers, servo mount (after two years of shoe gooing servos....), and carbon plastics among other stuff I had from my 2 BD5WXs.

Time to finish up the 12th scale.

Panaracer does! ;-)

I will recieve my bd7 in two days and will post some review of the build! :-)

I think if you use the setup from Ronald Völker from the italy ets in scandiano that will be a Good starting point! :-) you can find it on petitrc! ;-) its for the bd5wxi but i think it will work on the new car aswell! ;-)

I ordered spurs with mine knowing that 116 was just not going to work for blinky 17.5.

Just rub it in....lol.

Yeah I'm sure I can get an xray to fit. I'm sure something else will fit too. Just was hoping that there would be something that shares that I can go to a local hobby shop and buy.

Kit was listed at $550 and shipping was $40 bucks for super fast shipping. I ordered a ton of extra parts just not spurs.

Speaking of which RC Market you have a giant list of parts I want to order/back order.
