Default My TMC build

just added some more pix 4-28-11 still have to figure out a esc spot and i might actually do a jeep comp style body over it. i know, its a shame to cover up the cool chassis but i am a sucker for bodies and i think i may have been bitten by the scaler bug lol.

Nice start, these chassis's look great. For the ESC/RX you should decase it and cover it with heat shrink, it should fit above the trans like that.

Your gonna have to take the esc/rx out of he case & put on top of tranny like Dockman said.
Also make sure to strech your w.b.

The TMC is designed to be bodiless... I think a body on top would just give weight in the wrong spots.
