3 racing. They don't fit Schui body posts. You'd have to get some HPI or similar posts.

Good day to all!



Very nice and clean built here.
Sorry if I altered your image, sir. I would just like to ask what you call this aluminum piece that sits on top a clip. What does this do? TIA.
Cheers.

Body height adjust/retainer. This way you can change the height of the body with every mm, just turn it a bit. Instead of moving clip or work with O-rings.

Hello.

First of all:

the kits are shipping, so happy building!

second:

it will be all black, according ot the pictures on the schumacher webpage. Since I like purple and as purple like all other colors is only nice when done properly, I stuck with purple and tried to get as much of it into my car as possible.

You could have it any other color you want, as all I did was to use colored screws, nuts and washers where possible

third:

I'm using regular body posts with ROCHE bodyheight adjusters front and 3-racing body supports in the rear. I found that the 3-racing item gives more stability in highspeed turns.
The 5th bodypost does roughly the same.

4th:

I've posted my basic / use it eveywhere setup up on my blog.
this is what I've used at the last ETS race too.

Unfortunately, unlike the competitors, I wasn't able to arrive before thursday lunch time, so I only had 1 (one!) dry practice run before qualification started.

Therefore the result was more than ok!

I was using the exact above mentioned setup and it was really very good.

5th:

the car is very very tough and can take a lot of beating. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I spent a lot of effort in crashtesting it ;P



so long.

Martin

I just came back from my LHS!
The kit just arrived this morning and am now
building it..
So far i noticed that the pivot balls for the arms and the droop screw
buckets are already glued to the chassis which i think is nice.
Although my chassis has some glue residue on the chassis, i couldn't do it better myself.
So far i'm very pleased.
I'll keep you posted...
