Thanks,
I haven't decided how to mount the servo and the steering rack too.
It is low profile so I have more flexibility.

v0gYNO9TTsY This is a quick, easy, and cheap way to get decent power for charging your R/C batteries. It's just an Xbox 360 supply with the wires gathered into +12V, GND, and jumping the sense/5V wires together (to turn on the supply). Best of all Xbox 360 (or laptop or monitor) supplies are all ov...

update:

The close up of the rear tower is to show the way I mounted a section of the Kyosho roll cage so the the cage could clip on. The RPM ball cup have been replaced with Dubro. I like how they mount with screws instead of ball cups. The roll bar is stock Kyosho Turbo Scorpion. It is easy to make nose tu...

Yes good idea, but it might be as well to check voltages before you jump in, depending on your tran exactly, radios are different brand to brand and even by series within the same brand, and year to year, so to it pays to check. I was happy to find out that the MT-S could handle 4 dry, 4 nimh, 2 ce...

This works well in the transmitter because these batteries are cheap and easy to get, and the radio is ef...

I Like it! I also did a tub GT and loved it. My 3d printed battery brace and waterfall were the biggest challenge, and ultimately they couldn't handle race abuse. I've switched over to a flat GT chassis for 2.0. I like the material and execution you've got for the battery and waterfall. How did your...

RC10 GTM 2.0 Buggy (GT flat chassis+trans) Finally got around to the RC10 Mid 2.0 with blue chassis instead of tub! Still waiting on the Kyosho Ultima rere.

The Buggy is a stock RC10 B3 Factory Team It has a shorty lipo and 13.5 brushless system with a little turbo/timing added for speed. I have raced it at a couple big races in the Northwest Championship Tour At the Hank Perry 240 I had qualified ok, in 6th. With tuning getting better and better, I was...

Back when I first built it with a GT rear bulkhead and tower, and was checking the balance:
