Thanks for those kind words dude

Well im bound to say No to being hit on the side, and having them broke, as its me that designs and makes the Cool Can Fans, but honestly, in the 3 years ive used them, I have broken 1 CCF bracket and 2, fans, and considering I designed the first one off a Losi XXX-S thats some time ago now, since then I have had the JRX-S the Type-R and now the WCE and TC.

Finished rebuilding the car today after completely tearing it down to sand and seal the chassis. Its a pain wiring the car using the speed passion ESC due to the position of the solder tabs but it works.

BlackedOutREVO,

Just wondering what is holding your servo in place. It seems that you have done away with the servo mount and is able to place the receiver in place. I have the same electronic like you, but I never can place the futaba receiver anyway apart from on top of the servo.

I use Shoe Goo to hold it in

I just glued it in, let it dry for a day or 2 and its perfect. I have had no problems with mounting this way, but you have to let the glue dry for atleast 24 hours IMO. But I still have yet to have it pop off, and I know of a few other local racers who do this, for stock, 19T, and MOD.

So far I really like the purple Hara firm insert in Sorex 36's.
Which firm Hara inserts are you using, version 1 or 2? Thanks!!

shoe goo holds it in mod using a 3.5 Just like BOR said...the key is giving it a min of 24hrs of drying time. Using shoegg has also allowed us to place the servo farther forward giving room to mount the recieve a little better. Some guys have even shaved off the ears to the servo.....I left mine on. You'll never know what could happen in a race. I craked a chassis and didn't have time for the goo to dry before so the ears are a life saver.

Well your NOT supposed to hit the boards at the END of the straight! That usually causes bad stuff

All joking aside, do you have a spare graphite middle deck? I want to try one out, but I dont have one

My chassis broke when we had those bad winds a while back. Going down the straight with the horse power I run wasn't too smart in high winds. Let's just say my car went from Cyclone to Mrs. Budweiser.......LOL The wind took it and it landed straight up and down on the left rear corner of the chassis. OUCH!!!!!

As far as extra plates you would need to ask Scotty or Billy for one. I only have what's on my car.
