Looks like a nice quality build. Thanks for letting me know about more stuff I will now have to resist buying..
Now thinking drag car with 8 or 1100 kv hobby wing and a max 5 ! Gonna be a drag car so the lower kv is tempting but that but that 1700 kv castle is just bananas🤔

Suspension seems solid and strong ,Shorter drive shaft I grabbed /longer in the front now and motor mount And orientation I had to use to get the longer/bigger can to fit ..

Hobao motor mounts are notoriously bad. I’d strongly consider getting a new one…..
 
I just saw this body on Facebook! Wicked awesome! Props man!
Thanks man ! I’m getting it painted it’s gonna look killer I’ll post the pics as soon as I get it back!

poop ok I just ordered the habao 1/5 scale mount wanted to keep it habao since I’ve gone all diff brand mods especially motor mounts scorched and pps on all my other builds kinda wanted to keep this all habao but I’ll have to order something stronger to avoid any problems Ty for the heads up !
 
Thank you 🙏 I’ll post pics as progress continues and can’t wait for that body !
They are great chassis to build on. I built quite of few this past year. Last season I ran two of them, got to 180mph with the one using a tp4080, the other one I ran the 1721 on 6s and did 159mph, also ran a custom tp4070 to 128mph on 3s and 147mph on 4s.

I have since built two more vte2 as duals and a vte 1/8.
