Default my first build

hi all
now before i start id just like to say this is my first atempt at a home build.
im not rolling in dough so i ve used bits from my boxes of stuff
i picked up a kyosho mini inferno with loads of spares so i thought to myself i want a 2wd micro too
i ve been looking at the awsome "chunk" from phat bodys
i must apologise as i nicked a few ideas from the chunk its self as it seems to look and work right
the shock towers are first templates and im hoping to speak to a good friend of mine to see if hell replicate these for me in a thicker carbon (heres hoping)
the chassis is very slim and is made from an old f1 car
i dont know weather to make a new chassis thats wider or leave it as it is and run the lipos down the middle and speedo and reciever on the top deck(thought welcome)
i havent got a clue how its going to drive or handle as i ve just finished it
i still need to swap screws to the corect ones ,put my 70t spur gear and i need to ask another friend if he can make me a motor plate just with the original b4 gear box holes then i can put the motor holes my self
any thoughts or suggestions welcome (be kind)
ps if a mod could make the piccys bigger that would be great

Good work, its not an easy job designing a new car but yours is looking great

I presume you will be running some sort of 380 motor in it, I believe mardave sell an adaptor plate to allow 380 motors to be used on a 540 motor plate ....

and if you do run it, ditch the tyres and get some Schumacher rally blocks on it ....

let us know how it goes
