Well, I wasn't going to do a build thread since everyone and their brother has one. But I figured it would be nice to have somewhere to keep up with the progress and changes so here it is. Honcho kit MSD (I think) wheels for now. Thanks TEDROCKZ. Tekin FX-R CC BEC Spektrum Receiver TP 2000mah battery VP Rear lockouts VP Aluminum Trans Case VP High Steer knuckles Built it stock to begin with for the most part. Took the battery tray off so I could get things a little tighter and lower. The bigger Spektrum receiver would not fit in the box......so we are going without a case for now until I can find a smaller receiver. :-P Took the top part off....what ever the hell it is. Got the receiver antenna a little smaller and shrink wrapped up. Now for the ESC and BEC. Stuffed all the wires in. Wire is all in. Definately have to get some smaller wire though so the box will shut all the way. It just is cracked open. Decided to just mount the battery on top of the servo for now. She runs now anyway. The only thing I don't like is how far forward the front end is....will work on that later. It will probably be a few days if not a week or 2 before I get some paint. I definitely have a list of "Want" stuff. |

You know it. It will be much better when I can get the smaller receiver and some smaller wire for the motor. I will probably do that with the body, I just didnt want to cut it too short just yet before I get everything together. | |

Very nice. You could just take a soldering iron and waller the hole out a little in the box instead of redoing the wires. Just a thought |

I'm hard to impress. And, I'm sorry, I will post something more considerate. I appreciate your attempt at a good wire job, including the removal of the receiver case, and the stuffing of the wires into the thing. |
