Those braces should look awesome on the car.

I have not added the bracing because I can't get my battery hold to work with it; I am going to play with this for a bit.

Yeah, but it was really cool- there was a large camelback that led into a single, then double and a 90deg left. I found that if I rolled the camelback and pinned it at the peak all the way into the single fast and then hit the brakes hard as soon as I crested the single, that I could triple the whole section and still be good for a fast corner because of all the momentum created by the tail whipping higher than the front-but you had to pin the throttle to make the landing right..........
it took me a few "attempts" to figure this out-hence the chassis

Cool stuff Reg. I will be setting this guy up with some sort of bracing. Thanks for the recommendation.
I will be setting this car up with some more custom parts like chassis brace to add more strength and will probable come up with a different way to hold the battery down.
I am planning to run this with a Novak GT 7 and brushed motor for the moment before I move on to brushless.
Check out my green nose RC10 runner on the back ground.
More updates next year, we have a family trip planed so it will be next year when i update this. Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for t e comments, this car is almost done. I am waiting for a couple of things and then the body. He Jim are you offering to paint? Mirage SS.
I am actually waiting for a couple of custom parts that I feel like they will take this car to another level of coolnes. I am really liking this car and I believe it will perform well on the track.
Another update on this baby, Thanks to bigjeepzz for some of the custom parts, stealth trans button and the CF braces. I am adding some electronics and body next.
Miguel, that is a sharp looking build man. I have alway thought the white tub would look great and you have definately nailed a perfect build.
I hope the parts fit good for you. I can't wait to hear how the car runs on the track. I am happy with my red car and this is pretty much built with the same parts. Can't wait to see what you do for a paint job.
badass. now that's a color associated should of started off with, with the colored tubs. really pops and brings out the white parts. sweet build miguel.
I had this Protech body from an older shelf car that I replace with a Mirage so I decided to trim this one up for this car... There is something about a nicely trimmed down Protech body that make me like it even more now that I use to BITD...
Check out my wing buttons to go with the stealth plug... I think it is bad A$$,
Thanks Jake.
Paint and electronics coming soon.
