The Novak my friend bought just plugs in the receiver slot .

Just had to share a few pictures. I love the build of this thing, can't wait to have it running.

The close-ups are to highlight the RPM front and rear arms and Associated Factory Team parts I swapped in, chassis braces, front steering knuckles, rear hubs, and the blue anodized wing spacers. Also the underside has beefy Sumo Racing HD 14 gauge stainless skid plates I added as well.

i need to get those chassis braces, i broke the stock rear one over the weekend @ motorama.

one thing to watch for is those skid plates, they end up making the car "dig in" more off jumps/crashes.

Maybe it's a bit of buyers remorse but I'm staring at mine and I can't get motivated to start working on it, lol. I thinkmim overwhelmed with trying to learn another platform.

Anyone here do RC therapy sessions? :lol:

Go for it, it is a pleasure to build because the fit, finish, and quality especially for the machined metal is so high compared to the plastic feel of a B4.
