I updated the tower so the body would have a chance at fitting :mrgreen:

How's this? Platinums are not my first choice but I'm out of long Golds. Had the wheels and adapters left over from another project.

Oh, and a little splash of purple just 'cause

Thanks for the parts car Jeff!

I like the look of that white core material you're using. here any reason you're not countersinking the bottom screws?

Looking Good Jeff!

I forgot to throw the Gold shocks in the box that came with the parts car I sent you. I will add them to the other box I'm sending you... :wink:

The only reason it isn't countersunk is that I hate countersinking and wanted to finalize the chassis first.

Thanks again jeff!

I like it! I wonder if you could fit a bellcrank steering system on it since the chassis is now flat?

the chassis already has bellcrank holes I just need to mock it up with world's steering. it will fit Kyosho also but the posts are a little harder to deal with
