Kooking great! The extended wheelbase does wonders for the King's performance and looks. What servo mount is that you have on there?

Cold Fusion Status: Not running, due to broken suspension arm.
Air Fury Status: Pretty much running. Needs new battery setup (overheating badly), and soon, motors.
Electrical Storm Status: Under construction; 25% complete. Will finish it sometime before the earth is swallowed up by the sun.
TBX (Tamiya Brushless Xtreme) Status: STILL waiting to be sold as an "almost-roller". PM me if interested!
King Bee Status: Almost flying, just needs a few bits and some repairs.
Solaris Status: It flies! Ailerons are rubbish, but it flies. Just doesn't like landing...
Project X: So secret, it doesn't even have a codename!

Thanks guys.....the suspension is a mix of home made & hpi parts...so far i haven't had any problems with it being" top heavy"  ....I made the servo mount from some scrap alum.

I have to break it down to clean up some parts...will post some better pics & specs then :)

if you cut parts out of the tyres it will make it have much more traction  :)

Very nice, I've got one in my shed waiting for me to do something with... most likely option seems to be the HPI crawler conversion, otherwise it'll just NEVER, EVER get done.

Failing that I'll just sell the bugger and be done with it. No time any more. :upset:
