Unfortunately no. I could cut more from the front though.

Maybe it just needs a new wing wire made that puts it further back. I think repositioning it would improve the look with the wing.

Like some other things the wire that comes with the kit falls a little short on things.

Got to make a short visit to the Vintage Clash of Champions in New Albany, IN and visit with GoMachV, jwscab and scr8p. Joe, Jason and I. Picture compliments of Jeff. Track looked great and got to watch a few good races. Have fun guys!

Started the Team car. Still debating on whether to install the CVDs or just wait until MIP is available.

Went to see a guy regarding a XXX Cr.
It was nice, so I bought it.

And a lot of spares and wheels.

I love the photos gradually zooming out to show more of the collection that was bought.

Great catch there, those are all really fun cars.

That's a hell of a grab. Losi stuff isn't cheap...but it's great on the track!

I get music wire from the LHS. Three pack of 3' sticks for a few dollars.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Picked up a Yokomo. It's a YZ10 body shell, but I have no idea if its a YZ10 or an 870, or if there's a difference. It has a 1 way bearing for the front belt pulley if that makes a difference.

went through the JRX-Pro that I'll be using for Roostpalooza. There were a few things that were janky that I didn't realize, and one of the rear hinge pins was sheared. We'll see how it goes.
