No body shots yet as I need to find the time to paint next week
- this is my first new 2wd car since my Cougar 2000 in about '92(!?) The build was a pleasure, but does seem to have taken me a while...down to me though, not the kit!
A bit of a change from the usual Orion speedo - happy to say the hobbywing 1S fits in there a treat, with a slight removal of material off the motor guard to clear the heatsink fins - it should also be possible to run the fan with the usual mods to the battery strap retainer plate - only running an 8.5 so should be fine without fan for now though
Added some 2.5mm bullet connectors in to the motor leads and planning on making up some extensions to put in to allow me to run rear motor for those wet days next summer
Also gone for some clear 'helicopter tape' to provide some protection to the chassis, bit pricey but hopefully will do the job - available on ebay (of course)
Now time to get it dirty
