The new project arrived yesterday, so my ax was hastilly stripped to donate the parts. Had a quick run around the house, (dark and rain outside). Don't know yet whether this will be comp worthy. CoG is quite high. Will probably require a fair bit of wheel weights. We shall see.
Have decided on Red Bull graphics for the bodywork. Either blue/silver or KTM racing orange/black.
What do ya think?

Specs as follows; (these could change).

Axial AX-10 doner.
TCS 'The Edge' chassis.
TCS skid.
TCS Delrin split battery mounts.
TCS Delrin/aluminium upper link/servo mounts.
RCP rear straight axle adapters.
RC4WD aluminium knuckles.
RC4WD aluminium c's.
Stock upper links with 6mm spacers all round.

Looks good "thumbsup" You should try to mount your receiver a little lower so when you have panels on it, its not sticking out above them.

Did you cut your battery tray in half.Or into thirds?

Thanks,ryan

Yeah, I did. A bit less than half. It's just a mock-up at the moment to see what fits etc.

looks great, do you get glitching by having all your electronics so close ?

Seemed ok on a quick run around the house last night.

Ok. Got round to spraying the panels on this one. Not happy with the results though. I wanted the orange brighter like my KTM mx'er. My fault for backing it with black. Oh well...done now. Links and wheels will be finished in orange too. Still need to get the suspension properly dialed in. It's certainly better with some sag on the front end. More to come...
