Looks like your wheelbase is off a little bit but other than that it looks pretty good.

THat thing is pretty cool. Can't wait for more updates and pics. You might want the extension piece for the chassis. IF you already have it on then o well. Looks good.

It is a mini-z body! I had a feeling it was. How light is the mini z body compared to the xmod? Have any idea on what rims you are using? I think some deep dish rims would look good. Looks good, keep us updated.

The mini-z body is a half inch wider, and weights .2 grams more then the bumblebee body... plus the mini-z body has a spoiler. the rims are those rims from radio shacks 1st gen cars upgrade thingy with the back ones reversed and drimeled flat... im super close now to all my alloy being here.

With all that GPM, you should consider going all-out iwth a spider v3 and an atomic chili or a handwound motor.
