Forgot to post the updated pics. I added a few shock spacers, HPI green-dot mounted foams, Barracuda slipper eliminator, BIG JIM Master Stock and some Maxcell P-170's to make this the perfect carpet oval buggy.
Great event. First time at Adrenaline... track really surprised me throughout the event with what type of grip it could generate. Not a ton faster in later rounds but the tire options expanded to give some different advantages. We went from low tread Ellipse to reverse mowhawk Ellipse to Slick, driv...

Lastly, for this bit of progress I've got the chassis all assembled and it is now a roller/slider. B6 wing mounts added and I am using a standard rc10 battery cup with new holes drilled in the chassis. A jconcepts battery strap with some thumb screws will secure the battery down.

Okay, the build continues. Time to mate this front end to the chassis and begin working on the servo saver.
