|  brplatz's Fastback II Build
Started my build tonight since I am back at home from college for the easter weekend. Should be interesting, I am very excited to see this sportsman type vehicle progress. Started out as a RTC AX10 and has evolved progressively. I still have major things to upgrade, but my money is going to my jeep at the moment haha Axles being rebuilt  Big Bores  Fastback II  With Trasmision  Dmount  link builing jig  finished front link 4 1/4 eye to eye  HB rovers  Gotta finish links and find some more rod ends...... Also I am running the stock 55t motor from the RTC, it seems too long and will hit the frame, well I guess ill figure it out. Brian |

Yea im having a hellava time fitting the electronics if my fb II also. I've got my factory esc on the rear links, cc bec and all wiring stuffed inside. Still got to find a place for the reciever. Juan done an awesome job on the fb II but man its a tight fit. Yours is looking good keep it up.

You have to get a little creative but with patience it all fits nicely. I used some aluminum I had laying around and made a piece that used one of the tranny bolts that I could mount the reciever on. Mounted the ESC on the rear links and put the BEC on the mini dig servo. I just used velcro to hold everything in place. I also got some new ends and shortened up all the wires.  |
