Motor cage! A metal motor plate would be nice to act as heatsink for the motor... oh well..

I know I was jumping out of sequence here, but hey, I really wanted to mount that big wing on first.. ha ha ha!!

The wing is pretty huge! Interesting enough it is mounted to the motor cage, which is part of the suspension, moves up and down w/ the axle..

Oh well...

Servo installed.. standard LB issue Futaba S3010 for my on-road..

Using the standard servo saver right now, but if it proves to be too sloppy, I have a Kimbrough unit ready to go in!

Also note the TEU-101 ESC and the Novak XXL are installed as well.

As usual, needed to make modification for the new batteries to fit..

But with some Dremel work, the IB-4200 stick packs fit just fine!!

Maybe.. hee hee..

SWEET!!! Got to love the finished body.. ha!! No mess on painting.. hee hee.. good for someone lazy like me!!

Although I got to say that the quality on the finished body is higher on the F103GT Courage.. (yet I bashed that shell already, ha!! [&:])

Looks like a BL?! LOL!

Just a heatsink around the Sport Tune!!

The heatsink fins are almost touching the driveshaft. To be safe, I Dremeled one of the fins lower by a couple of mm and it should be all good to go!!

I have a similar setup on the F103GT..
