Love a Chally, be great to see what you do with it Mr Wigbearer
Nothing like shiny goodies to get a body in the zone too

The challenger came directly from Haya @ £250 inc delivery, they seem very pricy on ebay, plans for it
include.
Fitting the metal upgrades in the photo
Beefing up the lower hull similar to the Tom Hugill method
Changing the MFU for a 7.1
Servo recoil/elevation mod
