the Audi body fits an F103-RS, wheelbase is 260mm, normal cars (TT-01/TA-05 etc are 257mm) so might be tricky.

Use longer screws...

i lost 2 springs last night off yours though, because the bottom of the shock doesn't stay screwed on

many of my RS chassis have old F1 bodies.. but the Audi R8R is the odd one out. i dont understand how the plastic eye keeps coming loose, because if they are tight then there is no twisting force to loosen it??

Here's the CSM 20 RevLock I was talking about LB. I bought this last night from CME Hobbies, free shipping. They shipped it overnight UPS and wrote a thank you note on the invoice. How's THAT for service?!

Since my last episode of "dumb fingers", I have been using the stock MX450 canopy(white, no stickers). It is quite lame...so...I picked up a fresh one from RCHover.

P.S. I have gotten much better at flying.

P.P.S. There was an option for custom graphics. I was going to have them paint "LUNCHBOXER'S LOUNGE" on either side, but I changed my mind at checkout.

I found a nice 6ch radio with analog trim at the LHS...

It's JR, comes with 4 servos (dunno what kind, probably just standard) and all the other things, batts, etc. It's a computer radio too, so that's nice. 199.99 w/o tax, I have a couple gift certificates I saved, so after tax I'll probably pay 142...

Does anybody know what tooth pinion the WW1 came with? I am bidding on one that needs to be restored right now (instead of paying 80-100 for one that's in really nice condition, besides, where is the fun) and it doesn't have the motor. Of course I have extra silver cans, but I need the pinion (I wonder if I can find a press on one at work...)
