    Default Another modified Spartan ready to go!

    I finished this one up tonight.



    I made this to keep the hoses from rubbing the rudder linkage and keep them separated. Its a good ways below the rudder push rod. Just looks close in the pic.





    Castle 1520, T-180, in hull pickups & testing x445 & P225 soon as I can.

    I figured I might as well add mine to this post since I finally got mine back up and running since the fire my esc showed up from Hong Kong finally!








    Hope you enjoy!

    well The spartan finally made it to the lake today just kidding I thought you guys would get a kick out of my spartan in the garden pond in front of my house
    tomorrow I will take it to the lake near my parents place to see what it can do, note this will be my first run it never made it to the lake before due to the esc fire in my basement (Traxxas = winning duh ) now its all upgraded and ready to rip i'll let ou know how it goes
