Well I would like to thank Dezfan and Xtreme Hobbies for helping out with this project and everyone esle who has help with there input too. The next pic's that everyone will see is the completed project. So I can finally move on to bigger an badder things. I just ordered a set of those narrowed Red Rocks on some 1in wide RPM Revolvers also. Should be really hot set up. It seems I may have all the bugs worked out. I was having a gliching problem b/c of my cage work. All was needed was to run my antenna up. And I need to run a RX pack. But that seems to be it for now. Updates and finish pic's coming soon.

Ya at the LHS I was holding the antenna wire and driving it around the sore like I was walking a dog. I looked like a retard, but ti worked. Just need to find a good RX pack for it.

Cool thanks. Got it on my Wishlist along with http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...0&I=LXDUG8&P=K and my paints. What would a 6 cell pack do? Would it burn up my servos or give them more power?

Nah, go with the rechargables. So much better than buying batts like heck. Inlees you have rechargable aa's as well.

SOMEDUDE DO U JUST LIKE POSTING....

I was talking about rechargable Bunnies... they are cheaper then buying a pack like the one in the link, making ur own pack is cheaper, and then u just have to buy a res charger (6v wall charger)

No I don't just like posting. It was a question I asked in another thread because I want to buy tubing in rolls, and he said he had gotten it in rolls before. He didn't reply to that one yet though, so I just asking while he was here.

I started to use tubing but didn't like brazing that well. And I'm better at a MIG anyway. So thats the way I went.

Well I'm waiting on my Paint, extra Lexan, and RX pack to come in from TowerHobbies. I'm also waiting on my Wheels and Tires from Xtreme RC Hobbies. The W/T's Should be here tomrrow. I got all the Elect. placed where I wanted them. I made a firewall out of some extra Lexan I had laying around. Painted the backside black and stuck my ESC and my Receiver to it. I wanted all the stuff to be out of site from a side view.

Here you can see my Firewall hiding all the stuff.

Here you can see the Homemade skid plate from a $1 cutting board. Came out real good. Easy to work with and super cheap.
