Now I just need to work out the wing and electronics.

Hyperdrive in that Spyder?

Personally, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to purchase a new 10T at a reasonable, non-scalper price. In my hording pile, I have a restoration candidate 10T that's been waiting it's turn. The box looks like it was used for BB gun practice. Having a new truck that doesn't need special attention ...

Starting to shape the mini chassis. My front tab idea wasn't going to work so a new plan is being investigated.
