Thanks Adam,

It just means I am getting closer to having to order a shell,

and then for me the dreaded painting.

Cheers, Dave. :)

Hi Guys,

Not much to report but received these today,

Thank you Sabula Tech.

Now I just need to work out what the instructions are trying to say.

Cheers, Dave. :)

Oh I have never noticed that before. Kinda cool, instead of a U shaped wire you just make two L shapes and a straight piece goes across. Seems like it wouldn’t be as sturdy but a lot easier to build

Hi Jeff,

What you just said now makes sense :idea:

Thank you.

That's why the holes are 90 degrees to each other.

Would look different done that way.

I have Trinity wing mounts so I would need 3 pieces of straight wire?

Cheers, Dave. :)

DaveM,

I've just noticed what looks to be an RC10 battery tray mounted on your rear bulkhead. Then you mounted your ESC to that.....
I must say, I have never seen that before, but I really like. I think I'm going to steal that idea.... :mrgreen:

Yes, it's a modified RC10 battery cup.

I cut it as short as possible, so the speed control just fits and then cut it as low as possible,

using the two lowest bolts on the shock tower to secure it.

No problems,

I stole the idea from someone else. :mrgreen:
