I've corrected the front shock angle - fought off the hordes for building this to actually race - just need to work on steering geometry. I have some ideas, but just need to find time to pull the nose back apart and play :) Feels really good in the hand. I'm just hoping it performs decently so I can have some fun with the modern boys.

I've got some weird thoughts on steering servo too :)

Anyone ever try something like this? I'm not looking at this one, but this is just an example.

I figure if it has at least 100 oz torque, it should be just fine. I don't need enough to twist the front of the chassis off - yes, even though its 4wd :). I think my 22-4 racer uses a 125 oz torque servo. Its interesting none-the-less. :mrgreen:

Like most projects - waiting for me to dig back into it. Its actually one of the closer projects to be attacked soon. I've had the parts out and re-introducing myself to where I left off. I need to finish it up and call this done, so I can move onto the next one :)

Did you ever get a chance to test fit the slipper shaft and setup?
