Saw this last night and I totally agree!
Last week Dave "sofaking" sent me an email about it.
Beautiful looking parts but I may have to send him a book on Marketing 101 :P

Hey, if you guys don't want to be part of FB, or at least just join to be part of some vintage RC groups, continue to miss out on stuff. :wink:

In this instance, no. We're not talking about a known 30+ year old part.

This build is going to take some time. I have most of the parts.
Chassis is a little delayed. I will try and build a SRT the next couple weeks to keep me busy.

I definitely liked what I was looking at in the original pictures that posted here, do you like what you’re seeing in this picture….. :?
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

Yes I think all will be good. The chassis was already tested by Craig Drescher.

I’m sure maybe they got some dialed in, but in this picture the back end of the tubs look like fruit roll-ups….
I’ve got no experience with molding CF but I’m pretty certain if the sides are standing up the rest of the tub isn’t still pliable.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not hating on this at all. I’m liking it alot, manufacturing even small batch is a bitch. Hopefully they get the kinks sorted out soon enough.
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.

Could be the photos too, I know that I struggle to take a pic that doesn't make it look like there is an inch of toe in sometimes when it's zero
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Nice lil’ parts gather. Your building a B4 trans for this chassis ?
Oh and btw the pic of your WOIN build is great. Came out looking like a real show stopper. Nicely done 8)

Mine always look like the camber was set by a blind person.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
