Finally getting round to putting the body and wing on.

Back in the day - did people trim the wing tubes? Mine seem to be sticking up too much above the shock tower.

I have a vague recollection that back in the day I cut off 5 mm (1/4 inch)?

Cheers

Thank you

I bought a second hand b4.1 brace and with the help of a Dremel it is good to go.

Now I need to sort my electronics do again all your advice is greatly received.

Completely agree re Jconcepts - now I cannot find their shock towers!

I think Some shops in Germany still has the black motor plate if anyone is interested

A while ago I bought a worlds re-re and built it. I ran the gearbox on the drill for a bit to free it up.

However, it was still a bit notchy (but not as bad as others have experienced). Anyway, I finally fitted the old idler gear and case. What a difference! Should have fitted them ages ago.

Where did you get your front shock tower?

Is it difficult to mill the motor plate? Where did you get the motor plate milled?

I bought a Jconcepts motor plate for my Worlds re-re but would love to have a more authentic old school look.

Which battery strap are you using?

Found some on EBay in Germany if anyone else is interested

Was this paint scheme a "standard" team look at the time?

Looks similar to Craig Dreschers at the Worlds he finished behind Kinwald?

I have a worlds re re and I would like a carbon fibre battery brace. My question is what are the options? Do I need a full length brace for modern Lipos? I have never used Lipos before and I suppose linked to this question is the pros and cons of shorty packs? Will a B4 or B5 carbon brace fit? I qui...

For my education:

What is so special about a TPS chain drive?

Looks fantastic

Couple of questions:

What battery brace have you used?

Do you still plan to copy Satoshi Maezumi's paint scheme and will you dye the wheels too?

Anyone aware of any BLACK Jconcepts motor plates stock anywhere?

Love this thread - it has inspires to have a go at trimming a chassis
