F.R.O.S.T. mid tank build 150cc XTM fuel tank

[j8o]

well i started my mid tank build Christmas eve and now it is COMPLETE!!!! it isnt the best but it is sturdy, the wires are a mess and i still use an AM radio. which is wrapped in a balloon. it was a pretty cheap makeover because i was given the oppertunity.

-FLM (payed $48.50 for all):

LCG EXT TVPs
Motor Mount
Motor Plate
Skid Plate
Servo Plate

-(Like new) Mach 427 grey head $15 (birthday present deal from neighbor)

at LHS ($30):
-150cc XTM fuel tank
-2 standoffs
-4 CB bearings

didnt even spend $100!!!! freakout and the FLM parts were a gift. and now for the pics:

one wheel is on backwards but its glued that way by the previous owner

pretty nice ... put the tire thats on backwords in the front so you got good traction in the rear .. but then it might get more traction in sterring one way than the other .idk just a thought .. and put the plugs on the transmision case don't want dirt in there ... nice job..

thanks for the feedback. i started it today and went up the street a little and it stopped moving. well i stripped two wheel hexes so i will just take the tires off the wheel, convert to 17mm hexs and get new wheels
