My old one:







It did have losi shocks on it, but these AE shocks worked well with the Losi Red pistons and VCS shock caps

Yeah, speedo would go in the middle. It's really pretty light, so I figured put it on one side, the reciever and PT (not installed yet) on the other, then leave plenty of space to add / remove weight from the middle as and when

It was a really nice build with all the quality bits and pieced in one box, the only thing I reckon they could have added is the AE thumb screws which I've ordered elsewhere.

Yes, new (ish) losi shocks and when the postman calls, all the B4 bits will finally be replaced with all new parts. All gear box internals are new too, full new bearing set in the post for the wholecar too

A few more piccies.

Those washer associated B4 FT axle spacers, easy to fit just be carefull when drilling into the wing mount to make sure you get it into the support under flat piece if the wing mount.

You'll get what I mean when you have a look at the mount!

The ashers are standard in the Championship Edition, and the wing mounts are pre-drilled. Also comes with the flat-head screws.

Only thing needed is 4 long counter sunk crews and some MORE!!! alloy washers for the tops of the shock towers. Orded 20 from nortech and ive used them all so had to dig out some red ones for the shocktowers.

You say it's "non squared" -- we call that "original." But it's got the squared stickers. If it's original, I think D.M.S. and I know we have original stickers if you want.

Darren, my friend, once you've reached a "certain age," flaunt it!

Just remember my old sig: "Experience, guile, and treachery beat youth, speed, and exuberance every time."
