Cool! Seeing those arms reminds me so much of Kyosho Turbo Scorpion arms. Are they identical, kinda similar or nothing at all alike?

they were loosly based on the Kyosho arms, but quite a bit different and not compatible

Your build is very interesting. I've booked marked for future reference.

I'm wanting to know some details about the screws you used for the transmission case. They look fantastic, even more so when you dye the case black!
