Looks nice with that WR8 body

[@Weekend-Driver]

Yeah, but the Puma is nice too. Might be able to use my FPV shell of I don't wanna cut away the windshield 😊

[@SevenWelt]

Hello,
Looks very cool!👍
Greetings Seven🖖

[@Weekend-Driver]

Thanks mate! 😊
Yes I have high hopes for it! 😁

[@MauzyrockRC]

Nice overview! Yes I had a small bump and it wrecked my steering assembly. I found a 7075 aluminium one from "Hobby Details". They have a bunch of upgrades. However, I feel like I should test it out more stock. I think I should check my mesh now after watching you look at yours. I may also swap out the TX and RX... Cheers

[@Weekend-Driver]

Thanks mate! 😊 it's just that I'm thinking of having a go at printing some parts for it instead. I really wanna get a servo saver in there aswell, just for good measure 😁

Finally we get to see what is inside the package.

[@Weekend-Driver]

Yeah, it was a long wait. I really wanted to get this posted before it was obsolete.. Given how long I had it already without getting this done, might not that far-fetched.. xD

[@wheelsoncars]

Новая модель! Класс! 👍👍👍

[@Weekend-Driver]

Yes! :D Gonna have a go with this and see what it's like ;)

[@michaelumx3273]

[@Weekend-Driver]

Wanna buy it? 🤣

I'm Korean, so I can't hear everything, But your video is comfortable to watch. I look forward to your future

[@Weekend-Driver]

Thank you! 😊
I don't speak Korean but I hope the auto-translated subtitles helped a little. I had to do some adjustments in the translation English to Swedish, which I speak, so there might be some imperfections also in other translations. But very nice to hear that you liked the video 🙂

[@ksw_official_]

👍👍

[@christer8964]

Amazing how many small details you notice without even made the first test run.

[@Weekend-Driver]

I dunno, I just try to look with my fingers and other senses as well. See what I find.. 😅

[@Weekend-Driver]

Or what you're really saying is that I should just shut up 'n' drive!? 🤣👌
(internal joke about my (non-existing) maintenance routines...)

[@JIPPERR_1]

Excellent overview! Gear mesh definitly seems too loose. Is any sort of chassis cover available? I cant take it when my rc's fill with gravel snow rain dirt grass.

[@Weekend-Driver]

Thanks mate! 😊
Gear mesh sorted 😉
I'm hoping some cover will appear. otherwise it should be possible to make something. It has crossed my mind to use those knobs and drill holes to mount a plate, maybe with a FPV setup on it, who knows..? 😁
