Best I can do with out a re-shoot..lol The body is called an Aj Galaxy, and it designed for an X Factory X6², which is what I have been running last winter and this summer. It worked really well indoors, but I couldn't get comfortable with it outside..The last few weeks I was running a 22, but that's a different story altogether..

For those who make an extended chassis, what glue/epoxy did you use?

That body looks like it will do really well on a loamy surface I might need one! Could you explain your wheel nuts I'm confused by the Allen head.

I didnt notice that, just a weird angle that makes them look like allen's-or maybe not-- lol.. I had the body painted 4 months ago, and never used it. They are hard to find, unless you are in the U.K. and they run about $35..I hope it works well, I just liked the paint scheme, and couldn't see shelving it..I could use a set of BB's, but winter months are on the way, and as you know, our indoor track is TINY, and they don't really make a difference in there..

About the same as a B4 punisher-Not great, I use hook & loop (velcro) along the sides, but the body and the chassis do not have the exact same contours-although it may fit an extended chassis a little better. I have seen worse though.

I got the Wal-Mart heavy duty oven cleaner spray, put the part in a plastic container and fill the container with spray. let it sit for 2 minutes or so then move it around and let it sit another 2 or 3 minutes. grab it out with pliers or use gloves and grab it then rinse it off

Hi Guys,

Was wondering who is running a 10.5t Motor in there RB5

I'm going to be running SP V3 10.5t motor what gearing are you lot running starting point would be great.

I used to run 27t pinion on 7.5t motor that was perfect

Thanks

27 pinion with a 17.5 and not a 7.5
