Model Factory Hiro 1/20 Lotus 99T

 

Kyosho Re-release Fantom

The build is pretty standard and straight forward. Make sure you fit the body shell body wiring the ESC and motors / battery as there are not much space. I did not use the Kyosho brushless system which is designed to mount on the underneath of the upper deck. Use software and thin wires and make use of the limited opening on the upper deck for the wires. 

I have removed 6 links from the chain and it fit pretty well, also fit in a Low CG Lipo which leave enough clearance for the chain on the bottom side. 

Tested run today - it is very stable and can push hard when the pan car is exiting corner !

Removed 5 links from the chain, clearly not enough.

Removed 6 links, just good for initial run-in.

After initial run, the chain is a little bit loosen, which is expected. And it does not leave any mark on the upper deck .... yet.
