          Deigo the parts you orderd are ready to ship. Need your addy again...
          P.s. pick up a short c off 4-40 rod and some 4-40 ball links for the drag link, I couldnt get the room for the "z" bar. Might need some 4-40 x .375 screws to attach the link. 4-40 was the smallest tap I have, I'm not used to stuff this small...lol Dave

            Awesome Dave! Thank you again. I don't have an ESC that will work with your motor, is there anything else you need or want?
            I'll PM you the address right away.

              Where'd you get those rudders? I'm planning on some mini rio mods and changing the rudders is a great idea.

                            I'll have to bring one set to Dirty's house. He has the scale I need

                                I tried to hand drill out the coupler for the Ammo motor, It didn't work out. I ordered a pair of replacement couplers and a new wire cable (since AQ decided to discontinue the original ones and replace them with upgraded ones)
                                I couldn't wait any longer. I ripped out the stuffing tube, installed a bigger one, and went with the tried and true .098. I'm going to install a RX, and add a silicone cooling jacket and run her this weekend!
