Should be a cool build. Keep us updated.
 
Ok guys so the esc has arrived.. Just waiting for the motor then the photos will land.
 
if you get aluminum stuff if you crash once hard it will all bend up just get rpm stuff

and it won't be as light it will be like 5 pounds
 
lol its only 2 things that are aluminium the front suspension mount(which is supposed to be heavy to keep the front end down and that can't bent trust me and the motor mount that is good for cooling and again there is no way that can bend either. The only aluminium parts that can bent are the shock towers,a arms but i am not getting them. I am only buying Hpi aluminium and only a couple of things which can't bend.

Thanks
 
STOP BULLYING ME :stick: And as i said the motor is yet to arrive.(My mum has stolen the camera well taken so it will be late when i put them on. But i will definitely put them on today.

Thanks

I hope so cause if you wait until it is done and put together you will have to tear it back apart and take pics as you put it back together.... L.o.l.
