You can go to their website at bmiracing.com. You can go to their website and they have a phone number you can call as well.

Heres a pic of the RPM bumper on the car. Again-its not done quite as well as it should be-but it should do the job for a week or so!

Heres a shot from the bottom.

HOw it needs to be improved is I need to nove it back about 5mm.

Also-its upside down-why? S that I had a flat surface to place on the chassis. IT wont work right-side-up.

Even as far forward as I have this bumper-the body still fits on over the it. I think I mounted this Parma Alpha body a few mm forward of where I put it on the TC3 and Xray. I'd prefer it back a teeny bit.

So Thad, would you care to give us a play-by-play of what you consider "the best marshalling thing ever"???

Looks good though. Fits nicely on the car.

I posted a bunch and so did Ray only a page or two back. Ray had some nice shots and I had a closeups of the front tower, rear tower, and toplate. I'm putting on my new chassis tonight and will post later this evening.

Default Electronics in the Pro4

I remember someone asking what electronics will fit in the Pro4.

In this pic is:

Novak GT7 with Cap and diode bridge mounted on chassis under driveshaft.

KO 2143 Servo (pretty big as far as servos go).

KO KR 301F Receiver-again-not exactly small.

AMB Transponder mounted flat on chassis in front of batteries. So no problems fitting standard electronics in this car. The Cap hangs off just a bit-but if I were to run without the center brace-I could slide it way farther in.

Your car is looking good Ray...

That's the way I have mine set-up as well but with:

HB Hara Twister
Futaba S9451 servo
Futaba H203 HRS

If I want to make more room and install a fan...I use the Futaba S9550 Digital Low Profile servo.
