Might have to shoot some video of it this Saturday...especially now that it has a multi function unit stuffed inside.

I just thought the idea of saving weight by using thin link mounts was funny - especially considering the rest of the frame is solid steel rod.

You didn't know my yard is like a golf course?

That's a spot where the right rear of the wife's car always ran over the grass as she came in and out of the driveway. The grass doesn't grow tall there, just stays short.

Took Miss Piggy to the Skyway today.

Installed Traxxas big bores last night. That helped.

Steering was like stop lights in Georgia...merely a suggestion.

Sometimes she'd steer left and not right, sometimes right and not left.

Found out that the link mounts were bending and that's what was up.

Time for new mounts.

After reading about that in the lastest issue of RCD I think that's going to find a home in Guido too.

Haven't updated this in forever.

All link mounts are 1/8 in steel now, front shock mounts are 1/8 in steel as well. An electronics tray has been brazed in up front, new body panels are cut, and a dash has been added.
