Thanks everyone!

I will try to get pics of it mounted later.

On another note, I have decided that the shock tower is staying. With Big Bores you have to space the shock out on the top of the tower. This makes them stand up more and although the 2mm or so doesn't really look all that bad, I knew it and could see it. With the tower flipped, they are still spaced 2mm, but the shock is at a more natural angle in relation to the a-arm.

Sonic: the body is right against the back of the shock tower... Barely fit, had to force it a little. Lol. I'll have more pics later...

Norman: Futaba servo and Rx, not sure yet on ESC, either LRP Flow or Tekin Rs... Probably RS... Reedy motor.

great looking build Sean, let us know how it performs on the track.

if you get a chance too, can you post a pic of how you cut the body for the wing mounts to pass through? i hacked a square hole in mine, but sure it could have been done cleaner.

Yes I would like to see that too. I'm not a fan of WOIN with the back half of the body aft of the rear shock tower removed, but I don't want to do the traditional wing tubes in the bulkhead either.

I'm not sure if its cleaner than a square, it might be a little sturdier though? Maybe?

So I dug through some stuff and found a B3 tower... Still hoping for another, but I'm going to also make one.

I think it looks better, :)

I cut an uneven square on mine. Easier to remove the body.
