here's Matty's new toy
made some under battery weights that fit in the slots, and upgraded the front brace, as the original is made of toffee,o added a sexy chassis protector,

V Nice

Nice chassis protection and interesting spot for the RX. I'd heard that the body doesn't fit with it there, but....

I keep meaning to apply that stuff to my DB1, who easy is it to do?

[bigred5765]

very easy, clean with motor cleaner the start from a square edge,

You can wrap it round can't you?

Certainly something I'd consider if I had a RB6 etc

Are the ali rear hubs for the RB5 the same as the RB6,

That's the one!. Looks like you have to keep the wiring tidy in there. Looks like a very nice car though. Hopefully I'll get to see one at Worksop in a couple of weeks time.

Sure are

No body shots yet as I need to find the time to paint next week - this is my first new 2wd car since my Cougar 2000 in about '92(!?) The build was a pleasure, but does seem to have taken me a while...down to me though, not the kit!

A bit of a change from the usual Orion speedo - happy to say the hobbywing 1S fits in there a treat, with a slight removal of material off the motor guard to clear the heatsink fins - it should also be possible to run the fan with the usual mods to the battery strap retainer plate - only running an 8.5 so should be fine without fan for now though

Added some 2.5mm bullet connectors in to the motor leads and planning on making up some extensions to put in to allow me to run rear motor for those wet days next summer

Also gone for some clear 'helicopter tape' to provide some protection to the chassis, bit pricey but hopefully will do the job - available on ebay (of course)

Now time to get it dirty

[mikeyscott]

Nice

All these RB6s, noo! Must NOT get one!
