Quick question Lee:) How are you attaching the rubber band for the Mobius?

Its just looped over the plate between the rubber mounts. The plate has velcro on it. And incase there is a crash, and the plate comes off, theres a loose zip tie to keep things together.

Been doing some mods to my frame.
Cut up an old nylon cutting board ( don't tell Celia) LOL :D
This will give some vibration insulation, and make room between the two bottom frames.
Going to put as much stuff between those frames, but not the ESCs. They are to big.

Finished the rebuild of the RCX250.

Longer screws, makes the frame stiffer, and the heads are a larger key, so less chance to strip.
Much longer, stiffer frame.

With the bigger screw heads, it wasn't possible underneath Tony.

Looks really awesome! I like the dust cover also, I was just thinking on the previous image above the dust cover photo, it's such a mess (not that it's worse than anyone else) but it's also kind of cool to see all the wires.. Then I though, I wonder if it would be possible to cover it up somehow, and yeah.. there you've done it :P haha
