Building out the chassis, need to get a receiver and transmitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First run on the battery was the wrong size and did not fit into the chassis, but were 2S LiPo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where the fun begins. Different connectors all over the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Servo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The servo does not have the JST or Futaba connector but a JST connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
