There is something about CF and blue anodizing together that gets me every time. Maybe it's because that is kind of an Align Trex combo LOL. Looks killer man, I want video already.

 

[Pope]

Well it isn't going to be crazy got enough cash for my birthday to get a brushed setup and that's it.

 

[MikeK1981]

Still, I bet it's gonna be wicked on the track.

 

[Pope]

Almost done.

 

[MikeK1981]

Looks cool, I love the way the bodies look on those. BTW I think your front toe is off a little bit LOL, JK.

 

[Pope]

Lol yea servo isn't hooked up yet.

 

[frddyj]

alex that car is sweet, keep the pics coming i got my eye on the hotbodies version.

id also like to see a vid of it run.

 

[Pope]

Will do Freddy Fair warning it will cost more than your flux did.

 

[Pope]

Body is painted.

 

[Pope]

Just have to cut out rear wheel wells.

 

[Pope]

Okay here are a few issues I have with the AE design.

1) no adjustable servo mounts so you have to drill holes to center the servo. URR

2)NO Battery straps come on now I know it is tradition but it is 2010

3)It is impossible to get to the screws to adjust the tension on the rear pod piviot point.

4) Only one ride hight bushing set. For 240 bucks the entire set of bushing which cost retail 5 bucks isn't to much to ask for.

All and all not to bad I guess.
