actually it was a different one that arrived yesterday. I got 2 from the site LOL

it is clocked about 90* and mounted with a new second plate from the front

the trans sits on a 45* angle to the base

this is the second BMVII chassis I have put together and man all I have to say is the performance is killer. It will take lines through my boulder field that I thought was impossible.

Well my old truck gets a workout today at the comp with Team ALI?kaynece driving it and test drive for several new interested people

Its going to be also the first run for this truck. I dont have the weight bias correct yet but we will see how well it does
