Funny little story to tell...

I've made a bunch of various parts orders in the past couple of weeks and I forgot to order a few m4x20 .7 screws to replace the one that sheared off when I crashed my Pro (front upper arm). I really didn't feel like making an order for just a few screws and neither the local hardware stores or my LHS' had them for some reason. I stopped off at an industrial fastener supply place and they had them, with one caviot:

I had to buy a box of 100! Well, off I went $18.00 poorer and with enough m4x20 countersunk screws to last me a lifetime!

And no... they didn't have stainless in stock. []

I really like the way it looks... they state on the website: (we'll see, once I get her running)

* Up To 40% Reduction In Temperature
* 7075-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum Construction
* 80% Stronger than 6061 Aluminum Heads
* Denser 7075-T6 Alloy Promotes Better Heat Displacement

I got it direct from nova. $41.99

novarcproducts

They have some other cool stuff too like race adjustable clutch shoes (you can add or remove weight on them using different set screws)

Going to wrestle with the clutch shoes today or tomorrow and see if I can get the aluminum replacements mounted up.

Tossed in the aluminum clutch gears, mounted up the Proline High Downforce wing on a brandy new wing mount setup. I didn't put the stickers on the wing because I'm not sure if I am going to dye the wing or not. That all depends on what paint scheme I decide to paint up the clear body with... Thats really all I have left to do, paint. I made start the breakin this week depending on the weather.

I'd really like to get a motorsaver air filter for her too, I'll probably use the one off the Pro and order up a second one.

Almost there!
