It runs!

Picked up two Gens Ace 4200mah 60c shorty packs. They fit near perfectly in the KF, only some minor foam shimming to get a snug fit. 
All the wiring is finished now and I'm quite proud to say it's one of the best jobs and is good enough to my OCD standards. 




Just need to pick up some Hudy gear now and maybe a wheel balancer before I head off for my first race meeting with it next week.

The last few bits

 Orion OSB R+ program box/battery checker. One very cool bit of kit, Very easy to use and set everything up plus it also checks batteries.
 Now a transponder at last. I've wanted one of these for years and finally have one now!
Not super neat but it will do. I'd rather it be more forward, I was thinking under the shock tower/above the steering rack but wiring would be a pain so beside the servo Tom Cockerill style. 

Now all that's left to do is get a couple shorty packs, Hudy Set up station/tools, MuchMore charger and go out to race.

It's getting close now



  Super tight wiring, even less room than a VDF somehow. It looked nice and roomy but it gets really tight where you need room.
 There's a servo in there somewhere. ( A Savox 1258tg )
 Thunder Power 17.5 is a lovely red. Sad it doesn't match the rest of the car but it's fast and that's what matters.
 Also I got a shorty conversion set.

 It lifts the belt up enough. It gets rid of the need for saddle packs. You save around 70 grams so it's good. Plus it cleans up the wiring.
And you get these holders that hold the shorty packs. There are 3 slots so you can move the battery forward or back around 15mm.

Anyway, more to come. Sanwa M12 next hopefully.
