yes, i wish it wasnt there... would save me alot of problems... REALLY I DONT KNOW WHY THEY PUT IT THERE...

its bracing, but imo unnessary and pointless... just makes adding a motor mount one bit trickier, because you have to take it out to fit the mount, which leaves the opposite side at the wrong height, and nothing for the rear brace to attach to!

any suggestions? im stuck and out of money... this project will have to wait a little longer i think

yeah im going to buy the mounts off a hyper 8 off a friend... occured to me after seeing kyosho's build :)

ebay it is, pitty ive already sold stuff of worth... who wants random screws for $500! lol.

ok, i managed to get a complete hyper 8 diff new for $20 which included everything and a new spare (non leaking...) centre diff :)

so im happy and its now securely mounted. thanks for the suggestions :)

also my motor STILL hasnt been shipped and castle doesnt knoew exactly whats going on... at least the monster max seems to be coming down the track fairly soon.

ive also got stiffer springs and another body which will actaully fit this time on the way...


o and i bought 2 lipos. premium power, suposedly with enderland cells, im not sure. soft case, 4700mah 20c. will these be enough to power the hungry 1512 2d ive ordered??? ive got a pinon of 12teeth which should be good with these packs. lighter than my a123 packs too. any suggestions? ive set myself the task of making plastic cushioned holders (hard cases) for them, which i will use and to make them the same dimensions as the a123 packs. :)
