Now you need to find those clear shock bodies. I forget who made them.

I tried machining one already, not N easy task. I screwed up the first one. It's cheaper to buy a set.

Make sure the shock piston/shaft don't hit the cap before the shock bottoms out. If it does you'll need to use up travel limiters otherwise the piston/shaft will punch the caps right off.

If this is solely for display only disregard this message which will self destruct in 5 seconds...

The lexan chassis gives a new dimension to Stealth:)
He never said its lexan, I think he got his hands on some transparent aluminum.

ive been curious what you've been working with too :lol:

hope you give that transmission a test run, hoping to hear the gears fit in it right before I incorporate the model with something else.
