30 mins after crash, all fixed!
Body taking a beating!

Finally got this car completely done...the 💎 One outlined the windows....I got a working scr pack put in from Thumbs!... a proper machined slipper eliminator recommended by scr8p (nice piece) and a almost new Quaterflash stock motor to represent Thumbs glory days of rc 20230429_150815.jpg 20230429_1...

Failed! Side by side rockets won't work...3 attempts, won't go straight....going back to single barrel but a two stage setup....hoping for 150mph in 5 seconds Resized_20230429_191718.jpeg Resized_20230429_191758.jpeg Resized_20230429_191752(1).jpeg Resized_20230429_191833(1).jpeg Resized_20230429_19...
