Wow been a while since I last posted in here, time for an update. Just today I rebuilt the car with Twin Force trays I got from Mike (cheers mate!). Changed the wheels/tyres to GS SUT ones, with 17mm hex's. These don't balloon wildly and make the car a bit more fun to drive :) The power it has is impressive, a hex forced its way around half a turn in one of my RPM wheels and left it with two very big cracks. Ouch. Last time I use 14mm..

Car also has new TVP's, alloy braces, and a better steering servo in. Motor mount is unchanged as it does the job perfectly. I moved the batteries about an inch further back as it did end up being too nose heavy, hopefully that should sort it. Looks a lot neater with the TF trays. Plus they sit lower, it was already hard to roll, now I'm hoping it'll be really hard to, what with the motor sitting so low as well.

And..its lost weight. Now weighs 12.47lb RTR with 12 cells, compared to 12.8lb it weighed before with 12 cells. If tomorrows test run goes okay I'll finally get 14 cells in there.
