Ive never sealed any towers ive ever had an never had a problem so far. probally scudded myself now lol

next i moved onto the body mounts an wing, as the carbon towers dont have the recesses cut into them like the standard ones i had to use 2 slightly longer bolts in the wing mounting, apart from that went together easy. built up the motor mount an installed the servo.









Then moved onto the shocks, they are stunning, shame the shock boots hides the nice red shock bottoms. i decided to go for 1.3x6 front an rear, starting off with 35f 30r ae shock oils. I installed the black optional shock shafts, i run them in my desc so grabbed for this also. I didnt use the plastic balls supplied for the top of the shocks, i used Ryan Lutz method of the fuel tubing, can see pics of it on his website. Went for green losi fronts an silver losi rears after speaking with Randy Pike





Put my the rest of my electrics in, just need to solder up the rx8 an im done.





Even with the futuba receiver being tiny i still had to mount it on its side to use the supplied mounting plate. 1-2mm more is all i needed, may try to cut the mounting plate an have the receiver on the chassis at a later date. other than that was an easy an enjoyable build
