This is awesome - what a great read. Looking forward to further updates.
My Pro Radiant build accidentally turned into two Pro Radiants also

I've corrected the front shock angle - fought off the hordes for building this to actually race - just need to work on steering geometry. I have some ideas, but just need to find time to pull the nose back apart and play

Feels really good in the hand. I'm just hoping it performs decently so I can have some fun with the modern boys.
I've got some weird thoughts on steering servo too
Anyone ever try something like this? I'm not looking at this one, but this is just an example.

I figure if it has at least 100 oz torque, it should be just fine. I don't need enough to twist the front of the chassis off - yes, even though its 4wd

. I think my 22-4 racer uses a 125 oz torque servo. Its interesting none-the-less.

Should be working on those slipper shafts this week. Shaping up nicely!

Like most projects - waiting for me to dig back into it. Its actually one of the closer projects to be attacked soon. I've had the parts out and re-introducing myself to where I left off. I need to finish it up and call this done, so I can move onto the next one

Did you ever get a chance to test fit the slipper shaft and setup?

Shaft is installed, I have slipper plates and other parts still NIP

- just bringing this up may move it to the front of the line this weekend
