Re: Very young youngtimer ;) Hot Bodies D413
i started to cut the 4 parts of the body. The factory body parts are not well adjusted even the drilling point....
Body parts are assembled with Inox A2 screws

Re: Very young youngtimer ;) Hot Bodies D413
You really do amazing work! Why did you put the O-ring under the receiver plate? Is it just to keep the plate off the chassis to prevent scuffs?

Re: Very young youngtimer ;) Hot Bodies D413
I'd have that receiver plate mounted with at least 2 attachment points. With just one, with an offroad buggy, it's guaranteed to start swivelling once that single mounting screw loosens up a bit. Maybe a little square of servo tape underneath would also prevent this. The wing setup doesn't look optimal to me. Maybe it's the perspective of the camera, but it seems to be hanging too low at the trailing edge which won't be ideal for airflow or downforce. The addition of the side plates only seems to give the illusion that the wing is horizontal.
I'm digging all the rest of your work though, loving the polishing and fabrication skills!

Re: Very young youngtimer ;) Hot Bodies D413
Many thanx!
Exactly, even this chassis will never run or just for exhibit and i love the looking of this space between receiver plate and chassis

This chassis will never run or just a bit. You are right about the servo tape if it have to race The wing position is just to have a kind of good looking.
I will ask to Manobet to design a nice aluminium wing mount, and in this position, i will can show that Manobet's piece of art
