How do you like those shocks. I love how they look and was thinking of picking up a set for my wraith.

Yes JDAY the RR10 in kit form would make a good base to start a build and customise to suit. Dawagner, I haven't run this rig yet but I have a set of G-made 93mm shocks on our SCXU4 and they were quality, easy to put together and perform well on the track, I am hoping these are the same once racing. |

Don't know about that particular design, but can check Rpp Hobby and CKRC. Werty does awesome custom work, but has a waiting list a couple months long ATM. Still worth sending him a message tho

Yes, his work is definitely worth the wait. I have a couple of his pieces and they are top notch.

You will battle temps with that motor. I have one and it always runs hot no matter what gearing or load. I am talking 180 at the end of a run, but it's in a SCT that weighs 4.5 pounds on 2S. Leopard sensored motors seem much more resilient to me and I have no temp issues even though I gear more aggressively.

Thanks MeanTT, I was running it on 3S in my U4 yeti which seemed to be fine with temps, but racing heats are only ~5 minutes long, the WertyU4 is lighter and has lower gearing so hopefully last the distance for the same style racing. Cheers for the advice Marc |

Hi All, Had a productive weekend (nights), final assembly and start the electrics, relocated battery for a lower fit in the chassis.     |
