Got the shift servo and light bar servo installed:





Now you see me...



Now I wont get broken off during a high-speed maneuver!



Lexan firewall and side panels:







I need to buy more nuts and lexan today, and I need to go to Walmart for some window netting supplies.

I"m going to try a Mamba Max Pro...

I'm not concerned with motor heat- low gearing and limited runtime + the Castle blower should keep things decent.. We'll see! Like I said, it's an experiment.

Damn, this is sick!!! Nice job!

Now you just need a servo on your drivers arm, so he can chug beer all day long.

Good idea, but it'd be a thermos of Rumchata!

I've had good luck with the plastic ones so far, but if they break, I'll replace them with metal.

Yup! It contains all the food-groups. It's the perfect food.

Ryan, all I have to say is that this is sick. I am very envious of you at this moment and its too bad that I will have to out do ya.
As if.
But man what a job you have going on. too bad that you couldnt incorperate those lights that Adndy had planned before he came out to the comp.
Im gonna have to ask him where he got those and see if I can make them work on an idea I have planned.

keep it up man and its looking tight. Bravo!

It'll be there, but I'm waiting on the ESC. I ordered it Friday night, and I need it by Wednesday. It'll be close! I'll have the Hybrid along too.
