New Age 4:10

Had to change the front arms and suspension to get it working smooth, it will all match when done, I hope, still under development....got some custom length towers coming from Factory Works... finally getting somewhere, got a body ordered I think will fit....prolly go Andy Jacobson for paint for an old school 80s scheme if I can come up with the scratch

Which body shell is this build getting? Or is that a surprise? The Paragon decal on the wing is just right. 👍

Incredible!
Awesome wire job as well. Mine always looks like a cobbled mess - a dozen zip ties holding every thing together.

Have you bench tested it yet?

That's a very tidy looking build , very cool and plus one on the wiring
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

If you're still playing with names, how about Assokomo Mid 4:10, Factory Works Edition (FWE)?

Were Checkpoint motors big in 4wd off road? I don't really remember. I associate them more with on road, but that may be because I raced on road. Not diggin' a Le Mans in this one. Twisters maybe? Dig the Paragon wing!

My LHS was every stock motor, $28 each. Every modified, $80 each. Very flat price scale. Seeing an aluminum end bell on a motor like this used to be a sign that it's going to get pushed hard racing.
