Actually, it bonds very well so the bendiness of the alloy is of lesser importance. The weld gives combined strength... I took the screws out and put strain on it all. For sure it will break behind the shock mounts now in case of impact. |

The new nose is starting to look how it should - and the two stars have been spared :
Going for a Foosian approach on the shell. Smooth... Places where the lamps usually go have been flattened and the bit that's sticking out for the MSC servo will go as well : Frog tape to get a flat service : Fiber glass on top : Epoxy filler as a first layer on the outside : Inside the fiber glass was sanded and covered with epoxy to further smoothen the surface : Much more filling and sanding to go... |

Got a nice new 23T Lrp motor waiting for it.
Should be a little faster than a Sport Tuned (20.500 rpm)... Gonna go for carbon knuckles (F103), a high torque servo saver and an upgraded steering linkage. Frog shocks on the rear, 12mm hex adapters and a new DT-02 wheel set as well. Super Hornet suspension arms and oil dampers for the front... One smooth red and black Racing Hopper. |
