If it were me I’d buy one long one and one shorter. 600mm and a 3-400mm. Run one on the rear tower and one on the front, or near the front. Just throwing that out there since I’m assuming you’re gonna use your NB4.
Good catch! I hadn’t finished it yet as I’m making skirts and was going to see if/where the sides need trimmed. But you’re right I do need to take off the back sides of the arches. And like you’ve said before, this is kind of flimsy so it’s going to need reinforcement on the inside to stiffen it up. Starting to worry about adding weight tho. She’s getting heavy really quick. Might need that CF chassis and towers soon. Put this thing on a diet.
I have the stock shorty poking up out of the radio box and a 600mm laying in the rear tower in a coil until I decide where to mount a tube for the rear antenna. I don’t want to modify the 600mm so I bought an 6x8mm clear PC tube. Probably will see if a body mount will work. If not I will print one.
love the build. I run the 1721 on stock mount just drilled the mount for 4mm screws. motor screams on 6s, about to move to 8s now.
Don't get into it. Your wallet will thank you.
. I bought a Limitless cause I thought it would be cool to do 100mph. Said I'd be happy with that. When that happened I said it would be cool to hit 120. When that happened I said....well, you get where I'm going with this. Now that I'm in the 130's things have changed to go faster. I'm really having to think about everything on the car. But that's part of the fun. Come in here and get some advice from the faster guys and brainstorm. After having my first wreck last weekend I will say that videos don't do them justice. The car bouncing down the road was a lot louder than I thought. And it took a small piece of my soul with it. lol
Your build is going to be fire! Maybe I should have went habao instead of typhon gt lol. I don't know how hot your 4050 runs but I was surprised at how cool my tp 4060cm 2610kv has been. I was expecting that thing to be a walking fireball

I bought it from r_mamba on eBay. That is where I bought the motor and later the replacement rotor as well. My 4050 is a 3200kv and ran OK on 6S in my Typhon 3S setup. I will keep an eye on it with this setup as it's much heavier.Your build is going to be fire! Maybe I should have went habao instead of typhon gt lol.

I'm curious, where did you get a replacement rotor? I can't find anywhere to buy replacement parts for tp motors. The 4060 in my mojave really needs a cap with m4 holes, I've been hesitant to do it myself but losing patience and might just yolo it.
Thanks @phildogg
didn't know the 1721 would fit that easily. I actually found a 50mm mount in stock at Brooklyn Hobbies and it is on the way now. I also have a 1721 on hand now too, but I think I will get this thing going straight on 4S with the TP and go from there.
Exciting stuff. I missed this thread until now but excited to catch up with the build. The temptation is high to grab one of these.A little bit more of an update. Not sure if I really like this added swan neck airfoil but I will probably give it a try.

Now I’m waiting on my set of GRPs. Ordered four of the new ones and three were fine, one was out of balance and wasn’t running true. HobbyHeroes sent me a replacement set after emailing many times. They arrived, but they sent me slicks instead of revos. So I am still waiting on a good set to run. I also have a new set of BSR Purples but I need to turn them down to under 100mm before I run them and I am hesitant to make the mess doing so
but it needs to be done so it will. 
That's a good shout, removing the back of the wheel arch. Cheers for that
I believe I am ready to rip other than paint at this point. It’s the part I suck at the most
BSR Purples are trued to 98mm each. Balanced well without weights added.

Not following your question. The chassis skid is a single piece nose to tail with a 3DP “rudder” section added to fill in the vertical parts. Not sure how important these are for a diffuser but they all seem to have vertical portions so I thought it would be best to imitate the work of others.
Ahhhh now I see. That’s an easy fix. A little heat and a mold of some type and it would become smooth.
