Got a body cut out..... McLaren F1





The yellow wheels, well.... are ugly. I'm going to pickup a new set for bashing and use those guys for high speed runs. More than likely going to paint this thing red. Also, the rest of the Armor Plated screws are on the way. I ordered the GT-2 kit, and it did not come with any of the counter-sunk screws. HexCrews made it right, FAST. I cannot say enough about those guys, I've been using their kits for about ten years now and have NEVER had a problem until now. They sent out a new kit and told me to keep the one I had. Awesome service if you ask me. (I have probably spent more than 400 bucks on screws there, but hey... I like the AP stuff.)

After a visit from Jon, I've got a speed control, and re-re-re-configured the steering. I was going to use the Kyosho box at first, decided to use the RC-M mount and had everything setup to use that linkage wise. I decided that I like the way the Kyosho box looks over the RC-M mount on this one, and with the Kyosho box I can put everything where it's supposed to go. You can with the RC-M mount too, but I just like the box better after looking at both of them setup properly. Next update will be sometime after Christmas, unless I break down and bastardize the truggy for it's 1600KV motor. Supposedly, Santa is bringing me a motor this year, something in the 1900-2000KV flavor of Tekin or Thunder Tigre. More stuff is finished as well, center diff is complete with King Headz center brace, new bulkhead, and .... gotta wait two weeks for the front brace to arrive, but what can you do. Inventory mistake on black.



More to come, maybe. It's almost done with the building side of things.
