ayk viper+marui galaxy body +rc3l Bumper

Hey - that looks cool.

With a bit of "re-Jigging" and placement - that could look like it was meant to be there!!

Very cool idea.

Cheers

Darryn Thank you for your like

I think that's a pretty cool build! Definitely looks a bit strange but you've done a nice job incorporating the Galaxy cage onto the Viper chassis.

EDIT: If this is going to be a runner, I would recommend modifying how you mount the wing. Mounting it the "stock Galaxy way"--by screwing it right onto the plastic rollcage stand-offs with self-tapping screws--is probably going to cause it to rip right off the first few roll-overs. This could damage the stand-off threads and strip them out and will definitely damage the wing.

You might consider a mod like what I did with my Galaxy. I installed standard wing mount buttons in my wing and bent a wire into a squared-off U-shape, then drilled straight through the stand-offs. I then inserted the U-wire from underneath, attached to the wing buttons, and used zip-ties to keep the wire firmly in place. Should be more durable and also allows you to adjust the wing by bending the wires to your taste.

Thank you for suggestions
