is the xxx4 legal now?

That is some cool stuff. I would love to have the proper chassis. I could then design a proper front bumper

I now want to lighten a 6 gear case.

Also keep in mind with fades you don't want a high air pressure as it will create splatters. I usually drop my pressure lower when when I do fades and small details.

Now that little league and my vacation is over, I had time to work on the Bullet. I made a delrin bumper, the 3d printed battery tray arrived and got the body mounted. Just need to work on getting the wing wire bent correctly. The stock camber setting are way extreme

Almost time to race it!!!

Quick update to the project. I designed a shorty lipo cup. It's going to be tight on the vehicle but I was trying to keep it centered. Also had to include Mr. Graphite somewhere! Job is already processing at Shapeways, so we'll see how it fits when it gets here.

I use this chart for starting gearing and adjust as needed on track.

About a month and a half for me. Too busy with the holidays. I just bought battery straps for my yz-10 hoping that jump starts me, lol!

You just need one of these to finish off the chassis. Looks great!

Do you plan to run these? I'm curious how they would hold up on track.

eBay and the Vintage Yokomo facebook group are the sources I used. You will need to be very patient to source vintage Yokomo parts but its worth it in the end.
