Nice project, Bob. Looks like ole number 11 is back on the track again. :clap:

I noticed one thing that should be added. Some side exhausts, which should be fairly easy.

How did you anchor the body to the chassis?
Did you notice any better handling from the motor being a lower CG?

The article was from Electric Dreams newsletter and posted on SCI (JFYI)

The body snaps over the edges of the chassis and as I stated I drilled two holes in the interior floor pan that matched the holes in the bottom of the chassis just forward of the rear magnet pocket. I then screwed two of the long Scaley screws that come with the pro kits into the holes. They prevent the chassis from sliding forward or back. The pressure from sides of the body does the rest. I'm sure there are other equally good ways to secure the body to the chassis. I think the typical Scaley sidewinder motor position does lower the cg and improves the cornering ability.

Really great work there Bob! I'll bet it runs very smooth now.
