Massive thank you to Roy (43rdrec) for the gearbox standoffs for the Tiger!

Arrived in today’s post and I promptly got them fitted and have just wired everything up to test :)

Tamiya KV1 speaker installed as it’s cheaper and smaller and looks/sounds better!

I have extra rear mud flaps for free but shipping would be horrible from here in the USA.
