Suspect I won’t be able to say for certain until things are painted when it will be much trickier to correctly position the mounting holes. What do you lot think?

Popular Post Fat Freddy Posted May 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2022 Put the (now painted) inner fenders back on the Element. I had planned to swap the stock ESC for a hobbywing 1080 but didn’t get far with that, ran out of time ( have to work today☹️). Will do that tonight and should probably tidy up my workspace. I’m terrible for working in clutter. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hell horn. Posted May 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2022 I used the wife's good kitchen scales to see how heavy my herja build is. At running weight it's 2kg give or take a few grams. 4.5 pounds for the old school lot . I could easily drop a good amount off if I wanted. But I think this is a good spot to be in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
