Tuesday Practice

Me and Alex got together for some fun at Mikes Hobby Shop. He just painted up a Leyton House body for his f104 with the wide front end. His car was great all night.

2012 carpet nats .......

Will be at Mikes Hobby Superstore in Carrolton Texas. Stay tuned....

Obviously I just posted some pics. First pic is the temporary mounting of the servo, shoe goo style. I have the aluminum f104 servo mounts on the way. Next pic shows the angle of the upper arms after taking the spacer out. I have shims in the frontend that can be moved/swapped/removed whatever to adjust ride height etc. It is a very tight fit for the F104 body of course. I picked the Novak GTX because of its small size (and someone had it for sale at track), and even with its very small size, I still had to mount it on its side. Rx is mounted on its side as well. All wires are zip tied towards the centerline. And still the body just barely fits.

It lives

Took the F109 K4 out for a run in the dark tonight just to check things out. All I can tell is that it goes, and that it tracks straight. Which is all I wanted to know. Still missing the dampener, but I should have that next weekend. Wont be near the carpet til then anyway. I also need a body and some rubber tires, and it will be ready to go. More details tomorrow. Maybe.
