VDS II.





And some Trinity Servo Tape.


Just need to figure out how to mount the rear clip, any suggestions?
I was thinking something along the lines on stick tape...

I like that idea, it's all comes down to weight, I'm sure as Hell not using hot glue.

The VDS II is the SICKEST 1.28th scale shell I've seen in real life.

Get another piece of aluminum, bolt it to the chassis, bend it up 90-degrees and cut the right slots to match up to the VDSII's body mounts.

The VDSII is exactly as you say, a SICK-looking shell. I'm definitely with you there.

Eh, without thinking of that, I dremeled out those little things.
I just remembered after I cut them off, about InZane's Pro27AAA and how he mounted his VDS.

Edit:
Well color, the thing is, I couldn't strap another 2 pieces of aluminum to the chassis, as my esc and rx are on the left, and my battery is on the right, taking all the room up, so it wouldn't work..

Which one would you have chosen then?
I chose this because this is probably the best choice for the car, weighs a lot less now, and has EXCELLENT aerodynamics.

But thanks for your honest opinion.

I sold mine, but I will be getting another one soon.
I think at 50% throttle I might hit 99km/h.

Then I'd gun it for 3 seconds, to show how fast it is..I need to get a new esc and I'm all good.
