Default It's looks like a heap of $hit...

So I guess I'll go back to the idea of buying a couple of low profile Savox servos to use in mine when I get it...


Actually second thing I noticed in the latest pics, side belt looks like it's rubbing a lot on the manifold...
Bishop... stop droooling all over RED RC!!!

LOL only joking!!!

Car looks TIGHT and awesome... I think the rear brace issue will be compensated by the transmission mounts and bulkheads overlapping on the chassis plate. It's like a truss system mounted onto the plate and should be quite stiff in design. That belt does look very close to manifold though!

You realize I'll need a bib for when I build it, maybe even a surgeons mask so I don't spittle drool directly on any of it during the build...

And you know I remembered one of the other cars that tried to do without that brace, when I tripped over some prototype pics of the V10, also missing a side brace...

It 'started the second day of testing.
Teemu and Dick are Xray pilots. Up to now the reference is Mugen Pietsch but also the Italian Tironi

Great Pietsch MTX5 which marks a large number are under 13.6 rounds with the best 13,380. Tironi also lowers the time on 13.6

That means you are buying one so you can weight it yourself correct?
