Good start, but I'd try to get the steering servo down a lil bit lower. Be very careful with the cf dust...that is nasty stuff to breathe or get on your skin.

Make sure to have your wires and radio gear all insulated very well, carbon fiber conducts electricity very very well. Looks good.

Looks like a good start. IMHO,the motor is way to high. Put it down on the belly pan

Cool, I was thinking about that body for my build, but I want to build something that I can play with and be totally comp legal, I was wondering how that body looked at a 12.5-ish wheel base.
