So Dollar Hobbyz messed up and I feel really bad because I ordered the standard Vorza chassis and they sent me the 7075 chassis instead, standard chassis is $22.99 7075 chassis is $85.45.

-edit- I'm special and just realized that both chassis Dollar Hobbyz sells are the same, one is kitted and the other is retail... ?‍

Weird thing is yes I did want the 7075 chassis.

I jumped the gun on this, the Vorza only has 1 chassis. Dollar Hobbyz sells kitted and retail parts and I just noticed they both have the same part number ?‍

Englands crap weather doesn't bother me too much, it's just the f'in rain that does my head in..???

Picked up a Pelican 2365 flex neck led flashlight, shop towels, gorilla tape and some seal-all glue. My local hardware store was out of shoe goo so I'm going to give the seal-all glue a try, along with some drywall fiber tape and the gorilla tape for some body reinforcement.

Instead of going over the shoe goo and drywall tape with gorilla tape use rubberized undercoating instead. Some dude on Rctech tested a bunch of body reinforcement options and he found that that worked best. https://www.rctech.net/forum/painti...tection-bashers-long-article-many-photos.html
