DR Phibes.

First off, the side fenders on the jagd and KT differ slightly since they are a tad streched to fit the longer chassie of the Jagd.

Second, why I cut it up like that is bcause of the molding

I first did the 'fenders'

then the rest of the mold.

I could have done it in one go , but I had better controll when doing it that way

Yes, I see, it makes sense to better control things too. I didn't know that (stretched) about the JT chassis - still have lots to learn!
Thanks.

Still a 'w i p' but I had to take it out for a quick spin last night.

Running on the Stock 2,4 ghz in this video. Not bad at all, smooth controll. Only change is the JP 480 motors

How much better/different are the JP4800 motors to the stock ones? Do they run still ok off the Taigen 2'4gz mfu? Is there a noticeable difference in battery life? (sorry for all the questions, just thinking of these for my Torro KT).

I have them in all my tanks. They just bearly fit between the gearboxes. They have a lot more torque then the stock motors, when you go to tackle a hill you can hear them dig in. I really like them.
