Hi,
Well I'm almost done with my first set of mods, so I thought I'd post some pictures.
Ok, first image is showing where I put wood sticks glued down to the foam where the servos are screwed into. I did this because I found that one servo was moving fwd and bckwd quite abit, eventually it may have caused a problem, nothing else at least I know my servos are secure.
The next 3 images are of the wheels I put on, rear wheel is just over 1" and the front wheels are 2 1/2", I also added spacers to the front wheels. (which were end caps for rubber band holders)
Of course I removed the sensors for ACT, and added a nylon washers on the Rubber band rods and end caps in the next img.
I also put white covering on (got some winkles), I know it's not original but it looks just like stock, I actually re-used the decals I took off, so now I have extra decals, I'm sure I'll use them some day.
I did the wood stick upgrade under the battery box lid as well, followed NeCubFlyers instructions on that.
New prop is on, as I'm going to be using 1350 lipo battery, just need to solder on the EC3 Connectors (keep forgetting to bring soldering Iron home from work).
All in all it was fun, and I should be up in the air this weekend.
I do have my struts, I just haven't put them on yet.
