Nice jump and that front plate kinda odd with holder on top, I'm pretty sure it's upside down. Look at your manual!
thanks
i boiled my hobao arms back then with the same recipe ! and i broke them anyway.
the mugen's arms will go trough my special steel recipe to hold on a bit better. I'm satisfied with the results on my hobao's arms.
If the mugen's arms break anyway, I may even fit the hobao's hyperstar arms on the mugen !! I know, it sounds disgusting !
About chassis flex : I think more flex for bashing is better. The chassis will flex and help to absorb hard hits
I mounted the top plate upside down on purpose as I described it. because I notice the ackermann steering plate rubbed on it ! ( you can still see the scratches )
now the steering has more room.
Anyway, I will continue to break and modify parts to make the mugen a bit stronger for my needs
