First, what is a Pant?
Second, Welcome to RCC's Force Board "thumbsup"
Third, That is one sharp looking TVP Super.

I'd like to see some more detailed shots of it though. The BTA tie rod looks like it may be flimzy. The hex adapters look like a lot of added stress on the Knuckles and "C's". I would have used Savage stubs and Pro Line 23mm adapters. Lot narrower.

Thanks!!!
When i choose a model's name, i think to my old nickname... Pant came from Pantani, the "Pirata", best italian Cyclist (few year ago i play cicling on road, but now i'm a Downhiller/Freerider :D)
In the last picture will see last mod, battery mount on front with strongest steering tie rod (M3 alu bar with d.6 alu tube, under lower links).
The madforce plastic part are very strong, ad far no problems!
Here last video, in my profile will find more about the story of the model.
Now i plan to narrow wheels...
Stay Tuned for new mods!
