I hope there will be enough stability in the screw tightness to keep the 2 servos steady. For sure this is a lighter car than 747. The world championships track needs a light car with.tons of flex and tons of center of gravity. A lot more 747 option parts before are now stock 748 parts which is good like the super short rcm shocks! Wow to that!and lowered shock towers.

Recieverbox and extension wire holder was just a masterclass!!

Lowfriction belts are now stock parts in the 748 according to the manual! Haven't checked the actual kit.

I wonder when the new diffs will be ready.
We had issues with the mono engine mount on the 747 cracking here in the uk. So I'm quite pleased the 748 has 2 separate mounts for the engine!
