Looks like the stealth brace might be made out of kydex? Where it mounts to the shock tower you could wrap the kydex around a 4-40 screw I guess.

You missed the 3M double sided tape covering the extra (not in use) RX plugs and the hacked B2 sticker on top of the servo. :lol: Do you have the Orion SCRC1700? If not, that's going to be hard to find!

You even have the servo wire twisted in the correct direction. Again, great job Cedric, I just love looking at your work. So many people think it's just a B2, but they don't understand how rare the correct parts are.

For that transmission brace. I am sure it's milled white nylon that has been dyed (I say poorly dyed as it has a dull tone). Notice how it bends? I bet you could get a shop to mill that for about $50.00. Not sure the prices in France, but for a build like this, it's well worth it! The 2.25 tranny and motor plate are easy but I think you will have to drill new holes in the chassis plate! I wonder if Matt's chassis plate had the square cut out for the 2.4?????
