Those guide supports look to be the ones RJR, then Viper, sold. I believe those were first used on the RJR Storm flexi chassis.

John,

Great looking chassis. Looks like you're going to the Sano with guns loaded and not thrashing a chassis out that morning. LOL

With all those chassis you have shown, when do you sleep?!!!

Tell em',John.

Compared to the thrashing and racing till 4 in the morning, we used to do in the 80's and the 90's, wing racing,
Retro is like a paid vacation.

Thanks Tex..........If you look closely at the pic below, you can see that I use an RC rod bender for the rear of the .055 inside rail. it rides up the motor bracket
