so i got the car of ebay about 8 months ago it was someones runner then and i carried on the torch and ran it every day for months until about 6 weeks ago when i decided to powder coat it but first i cut down the sides and cut a worlds rear end into it i have had a lot of influence from m_ vice as you can see he did one like this a few months ago and i liked the way the body could sit lower this is going to the local bmx track so i thought to brace the front considerably well i haven't run a car for a month so tonight i started putting it back together sporting its new paint and a handful of new bits i have an old viper bod that came in a lot its scratched but hasn't been painted so that will go well to finish of this runner

so a few more hours on the runner today worlds shock tower esp installed almost there except i didn't allow for the steering servo i will have to get a low profile and change out the graphite bell cranks because i went for the lwb holes on the nose to give my the extra length i will use the front hole for the steering and secure the nose with the rears im still waiting for some tires i put some new wheels on the back and added the mounts for the wing .
i also got started on the body i used pinstripe for masking it worked well the lexan paint made it very easy to remove but it did leave some residue that should come of with goof off

Could you move the ball stud to the other side of the servo horn for more clearance?

no i had to put it in at an angle just to take the pic
