Well, threw one together today. My fastest build no doubt..clean and I didn't have to make any custom parts which is new for me! Only thing I had to modify was shaving off one of the screw bosses from the dirt guard that intefered with the motor, and I milled a slot under the battery tray to route the ESC wire to the Rx box. Trying to make the opening race at the local track this weekend. Aside from the lack of metric hardware on these Losi's, I get the feeling I made the right call.
