The ordered viper gts-r body was the reason to get those rims.

Other parts includes the bumper and bodypost parts.

So its been a while for me to post pictures, here comes with my F103GT with the Kawada Rolling Damper upgrade,
Not yet to test and compare to the Tech Racing Friction Plate unit, but i assume this set up will give the car greater stability as most of the 1:12 also employs similar config~

Ok, 8 days gone and still no viper, or reply on my e-mails. dam you Liquidrc 
Rcmart did deliver today. TB evo 4 bumper -direct fit.
A bit narrow tires, and C/G is even lower now = only drivable on smooth surfaces.
I did some recycling 2
energy drink can
I did use two original long screw/bolts on rear parts, 3racing assembly pic it shows that i should have used two 3x16 set srews.(witch make the chassis very "sloppy".

Since the viper body is not here yet (and i think it never will be) -i tried the new wheels on Courage.
Yes LB, it is a bit bling, but since the slicks included in kit are not very good gripwise on dusty parkin carage, i put thease on.
-and the Courage shelll is not shelf queen anymore.(not much to loose ,on rcmart the finished body is only 36.50$)
Oh, and the shield plate was not good, ripped off on first run.

Actually doesn't look too bad.. !! I say go for it!
Why don't you think the Viper shell will show up?! You are at Finland, maybe it will just take a little bit longer...

Because on Liquidrc´s site on my order details it states "transmitted" -it should read shipped, it has been 10 days since i placed the order, all my previous orders from them have taken 5-7 days to get here. Also, i have sent them 5 e-mails during this week, without answers.[]

Hopefully they will resolve the issue.. maybe they are just out of stock or something.. if they are a legit shop, you should be okay!

Still no viper.
Short video with courage shell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnLxRPA-gfw silvercan and 3racing wheels.
Funny how there is much more grip on faster speeds than slow...downforce seems to work on rc too.

I don't know about aerodynamic.. it is probably more chassis dynamic... when you are letting off throttle, you shift the weight to the front, and the rear becomes loose...
I say if you really want to test it, you should hold a constant throttle (for high and low speed) and turn to see how they compare.... !!
