MRSSS:
Chassis: regular floppy (front axles have been made immovable by soldering on braces)
Clearance - front................pretty good
Clearance - rear.................lots!
Tires - front.........................beats me
Tires - rear..........................(see fronts)
Body...................................some sort of Choti with a hot dang Jairus paint job
Guide..................................Jet Flag (set for an itsy bitsy amount of braid recess, but with extra washers so it can be adjusted for a deeper recess)
Motor...................................Mura "Green" can
Arm.....................................Team Czech 27 sgl
Magnets..............................Some sort of old ones that fit the arm and setup pretty well
Gear....................................Cox (lord help me) 7:29. This may have to change as the tip of my old lucky Ferret allen wrench broke off in the set screw! Then again, I might just leave it as is.
If this thing(ie) is legal (gosh I hope so!). What's the polarity standard again? Is it so that as you're looking from the back towards the front, the (+) is on the left?
