No, that was just a mockup Although, I think it won't be able to work as it'll block the driveshaft. The chassis is awesome though, all I need is some CF sticker/vinyl to make the servo match.

No money whatsoever, so that's not an option lol. If I do get some money together, it'll be for my Gen 1 Micro Tmod, as I believe I have everything I need for this project and my other one.

i know you do not want t give oit up but i will be worth it
and just put it on anther car or sell it money to make it go
faster if it would be mind car i would make it a show car
anf put a iwaver board with a 2x2 stack and a stock r
motor and put like a mini-z body on it and hit up bondo
or lm or zippo for a pant job and that would sweet

but thast is just what i would do

but when you are done with the car get a scale
and weuight it and see how much it weughts
with all the alloy and then with the the nessy
parts
