Notice the custom heat sink on the GTB spread spektrum
Nice!

Why dont you wire your own car dude? Scotty does a nice job, but dang, doing it your self is half the fun isnt it?

Are you going to race at the next race? Throw the 3.5 in, dont mess around

No one can pull the 4.5 so why bother???? I will more than likely be at the first race in 3 weeks. I will however be at the next Norcal race in two weeks. I got all of my honey do's done and I've been out of racing long enough. Gotta get some track time in.

Wiring is over rated so I leave that up to the norcal pro. I paint and he does wiring

I flew down to your neck of the woods and waited until you went to the bathroom and took some pics of your ride and hustled on back home to claim that wiring job as my own. I did forget my sun glasses in your pits so if you could be so kind as to send those back it would be greatly apprecited Man it's too early in the morning. I better go eat before I post again

Wiring may change if I go to the Futaba radio and the faast/fasst (sp) system. The reciever is a little bigger. I'm tired of holding on for the Ko system.

Its FASST

With a big RX in there, how are you going to keep it all on the chassis? My Sphere TC is a tight fit as it is... And you cheated, no PT on your car, that adds wires

Haha, why did you chop your heat sink? To loose weight? Looks nice, what kind of PT is that?

I dont have mine on at all, my belts have a race season on them, and them in the loosest setting is still pretty tight

Scotty milled the heat sink so that we could mount the speedo in a little closer to the center line of the chassis. Over hang didn't look too pretty to him and you won't have to add that much more weight to the other side to balance the car from left to right.

Tell him I want that done

I like the idea of less weight on the flip side Looks nice

Milled how? He has a mill, or?
