Hi guys, been a while and been racing this 511, sold it last week to a local lad to race.

Went through my spares and thought I'd have a crack at building up another one!

Progress so far!

Thanks for the kind words, sorry for the late reply, not been on here for a while.

I got the chassis done by a local firm to me near Ashford, UK, only cost £5
