Haha, thanks for the coment. The windshield well, when i moved the antenna i had a hard time finding the spot fot the antenna's new hole so it got me mad so i cut out the windsheil and put it screen so now i got a functional windshield.

Anyway, anyone know if this is a good chassis?

How does the RC18T front shock fit in the MRS4 ?
I also wanted to order a set for my micros, but i wasn't sure how they would fit in. Did you have any problems to make it fit?

Yes the chassis is just awesome...but then of course i dont have one...but lots of members do on the boards....Like your setup man...especially the 18t shock instead of using the VCS shock in the rear.

All i did was cut up the rear mount, moved the ball and have had no problems, works great for an extra shock. And mounting it like i did it wont leak (fingers crossed)

Do the RC18T shocks have a leaking problem?
Could you please post a picture with a better view on the shock? I'm really interested in this.

Yes they did once in awhile....but you can remedy this by putting the shock upside down....... If you want to know more on putting the shocks upside down then please click on the link provided and do some reading.

@alfred

That's an interesting article. Although i already knew what upside down means.

I have seen that Rs4Racer mounted the shock upside down. But i am also interested in the clearance between the shock and the motor. Rs4Racer is using 140mm wheelbase as well as i do. What size is this "chubby" motor? Is it a 370 sized?
