Mi5 Build Pics! Part 2


So let me first say, that this may be one of the easiest cars I have ever built. It literally falls together. 
Having said that, building a car, and building a car properly are two completely different things. It takes time, thought, and a little OCD to squeeze the full potential out of a particular build. 

None of this requires a degree in engineering, but it does slow down the process. The results in the end, usually speak for themselves.

The boot, complete with optional Schumacher chassis braces, upright ends, and camber link mount.


Getting there. Shocks are next.


I'm a purp fan, so I had to add some accents. Much better IMO. A proper Schumacher color. :)


Blue sway bar, DCJ's, and PURP!


It's not required, but a "low-pro" servo is a great way to save room on the electronics side, along with a cleaner overall look. You can't see it completely, but installed is a Savox SC-1251 low pro servo. Great bang for the buck and durable. I swear by these.


A closer look at the rear. 96t spur gear for Stock TC, red sway bar, and a better look at the braces included with the optional 2.0mm lower deck. 


Only time will tell, but if this car drives as well as it looks, I'll be having some serious fun in no time. Excitement is building!
