Tuesday (aka tomorrow), Brion ships out my order to me. He had mentioned there were some weak points on those prototype chassis that I have and that updating would correct it. So I ended up ordering a complete new LM chassis after all.
I did need another battery plate and some screws as well, so I figured .. why spend $30 on hardware to use with old plates when I can just update to the new updated plates for a few bucks more. Then I have some spare parts from what I bought and i'll keep the prototypes for .. well ... historical Penguin RC purposes. LOL!
Still have to get tires and pinions. I have a Proline Stratus 150mm body now!! Blue metallic rattle can paint and some indy grey to back it...
wish me luck in the painting !
