I'd take three of them.

Ok all sounds good, I am going to the store tomorrow (after the superbowl of course) to pick up some metal, I will let you all know the thickness I get and how soon I will have them shipped out. After looking at the cost of metal it may be just a little more not much though.

Also ordered a few sheets of carbon fiber to test out.

Default Missing Parts

Got B4.2 today, went together smoothly until I got to big bores. Missing bag with all the o-rings and plastic shock nuts. DOH!

Also one of the shock caps will not fit over the blue ft shock bushing. Either hole in cap is too small or coating on cap is too thick. Just one cap other 3 are fine. GRRR...

I've built 4 sets of AE big bores since they launched and have never had a problem, until now.

No racing it tomorrow...

I'd take three of them. My vote would be for carbon fiber so I can avoid having a piece of metal near the battery posts.

Exact thing happens to me on my build.weird!! This was my first time building these bb shocks so I tried forcing the cap on and managed to damage both the cap and bushing. I'll call associated tomorrow and see if they can send me some new parts. Wish me luck

Does Cav actually use a custom esc tray or is he mounting it straight on the battery brace?
