Thx so much guys! :-D Must admit the handling was not very good though... The car is so extremely light, and even with the softest AE springs it's way too stiff! :-D

I bought it as is. Just added the Dirtburners wing (no pics yet). The bars look like they are bought and not home made, but I'm not sure...
Hey Lars! Of course we'll organize a new meeting!!! :-D
As to the wheels the picture does lie a bit, they're the same size as the rears. And with paddle rear tires you need 'rudder' front wheels for good steering in sand :-D

Sorry, got no topless pics. But not much to see underneath, pretty much standard. Steering is straight out from servo saver, with ball links.

I added AE cooling ribs to the ESC, but as you assumed... it got too hot and stopped now and then. It either needs more cooling or a better ESC. Btw I'll admit the rear wing is a wee bit too big, it looks better on the B.A.R. Honda Frog.
Considering putting on 4 good shocks (SuperShot mounts) to see how it performs then (the std. Hotshot suspension is rubbish :-D). Maybe also a light b/l setup...

Here and there :-) You just gotta experiment at a given track. You have front bulkhead, plate under servo, plate under batt, battery strap, corner weights rear, toe-in brace. It makes the car float better over bumps and it feels more secure. Downside is it's harder to make the jumps. The front wing gives more steering... but mostly in theory ;-)
