Not sure. I need to weigh in Wednesday and see. It feels heavy.

Learn how to wire your car neatly!
LOL I just popped the double sided tape on everything and moved it over as an assembly from the other car. I spent most of the evening grinding stuff, suspension bits so they move freely, and everything related to the motor mount to get a 72 tooth pinion to work. When I broke the tip off my Hudy 1/16th wrench into the very last screw on the car, I called it a night. Still need to set ride height, droop, toe, and camber. After that, maybe will rewire it.

Of course, the Diggity V1 chassis I bought on ebay arrived yesterday too, and surprise, it was a V2 chassis. I had to order some hinge pin bushings from Diggity, but that might be the next VTA car.

Lol I wish. I did spend some time with the dremel polishing up the insides though. They are cleaner inside then out. Car rolls pretty smoothly for the amount of metal involved, and is as good as my old VTA car.

Cool. Looking at yours, I might have to bust out my old TC3 again. First R/C I ever had!

That was the plan but apparently I have a meeting at 2pm. I live in Athens so if I leave later than 3pm, it's a horrible, horrible ride

Seems like VTA season will be over by the time things come together for me

Pretty sure VTA season has just barely started... This will be the first Wednesday night race for me, and the last for the month, but I am sure it will only get bigger as time goes on, people build cars, and the summer crowd moves inside for winter.

That stinks, this Series will end after 8 weeks but we will have another one start right back up after that, your not the only one who thought they would miss out, hope this winter will be really hopping.

Yep, just traded for a roller and should have it ready in a few weeks.

I am looking forward to racing there in the winter. It will definatley be a cure for cabin fever. Right now though, I go outside, mutter a few expletives at the sun, then start sweating. Real harsh working outside in this day in and day out with no break.
