Heh, this build was cheap by my standards

Small update:

Had to change the esc mounting location, lowering the centre skid made it hang way too low for my liking. I made up a pair of rails and a platform for the esc to sit on, just behind & to the right of the motor, looks alright & the motor wires just about reach down, then up and over the esc to plug into it- may rotate the motor so the wires can be routed a little easier. I did however have to extend the power wires to reach the battery up front; not ideal, but this is a CastleCreations esc, not a Schulze, so I dont imagine the esc will go up in smoke due to a couple extra inches the electrons have to travel ( did nice clean butt joints using 10g wire ). I can always add extra caps if I deem it neccessary.

All I have to do now is make a little rx mounting plate, install the radio when it turns up, and paint the shell. Pretty happy with the overall finish, might need to do some polishing here and there ( if I can be arsed ), and the front body post mounts are a bit wibbly-wobbly for my liking, but them's minor things I can put right, nothing serious.

Will stick some more pics up tomorrow
