I'd guess is something like a full size car going by the size of the mirror, with a pretty raked profile where it mounts to ...

Re: New to me Blue Eagle LS

Nice! Those cvd's look like MIP to me.

Re: The start of something new. Vintage TRX-1 build.

Finally got the receiver and esc in. Boy oh boy, was placing that receiver a big PITA. The TRX1 body is very low on the sides, so it basically limited my receiver to, just the center line. :lol: Anyways, the Parma servo saver had to go so I could make more room-----with 1mm to spare until it touches...
