Re: CAT 773G
 

All depends on the application bro, i could use software as simple as sketchup, or autodesk 123d, or solidworks... and thank you, in using every and any min in the day i have left over to try and get it done for April meet..


Thanks bro, stay tuned..

then i decided to take apart my trans because rc4wd is notorious for sending them with minimal lubrication inside, plus i needed to paint it to match the motor anyway

and i finally got around to adding detail to the motor with some 1/16 aluminum rod and some electrical wiring and paint
