Not too bad. Ya gotta do something about that front end though. Too much nose. That's gonna kill your roll over/recovery. Try rounding some of the corners too. I love the stance at full droop. She looks pissed.

I'm gonna comment on this again. It's nice to see someone else building a micro comp crawler. Not much love around here for the micro comper's. Good to see one more. I think the rest are just pissed that we can out crawl them.

I thank y'all for the kind words. I was thinking same thing On the front and with the rear but I wanted the hard lines and corners. I made a drawing of new set of plates last night with more curves less straight lines an hard corners
