That awesome! The fact that the engine is perfectly center should make for an amazing weight distribution.

Let us know how she runs (actually - get a vid to show us!)

Thanks BP-Revo! once I remove the ez-start the weight distribution is going to be pretty much taken care of :O) And I like the fact that the weight distribution is very similar with my brushless Gorilla E-maxx as both engine/ motor position and weight are almost the same. See pics to compare

By the way this rig is 3500g (7.7lbs) without rx batt and fuel so it's much lighter than truggies so i'm pretty impressed with the weight saving so far! when I remove the ez-start and reverse gears it will be 3300g (7.25lbs) with an OS18TM so watch out truggies!!! just kidding about truggies... well maybe not! hehehe

wow, looks great

btw...it looks like the exhaust stinger is pointing down, if you land on soft dirt it will plug the stinger and flood the engine

your right, great eyes! I didn't secure the pipe yet as I'm still waiting for my exhaust seal that needs replacing!
