old total weight was 2480gr old frame nearly 400gr new rails less than the half, so i can safe some weight the new rails have the same geometrie like the original capra frame, but also more posibilities for mounting the shocks   |

very interesting concept! Probably one of the best scale performances  Which body (Honda) is on your car ? The result is changing from current bodies, and I like it  Tires are 2.2 ? What's their diameter ? On your video, the car makes a strange and irritating noise, it's a fan ?  P.S.: where is "Saxonia" ?  Last edited by CyberFox; 11-05-2019 at 10:44 AM. |

sorting all the crap and soldering for shorter wires i use the hobbywing 1060 as esc for the 25k winch on 3s because this old modell is 25gr lighter than the 1080, tinier and with 12€ very cheap i also used a vaterra twinhammers batterie tray. it's 1mm over the upper links   |
