Photo 1: close up of the wiring. Fan wire and sensor wire run in the channel underneath the battery. A short piece of electrical tape goes over the top to protect them and hold them in place when the battery is removed. The RX wire from the ESC is run underneath the ESC and cap to expose the least amount of it. Heat shrink with the WB logo keeps the motor wires in place will driving.
Photo 2: shows the custom re-anodized black chassis with custom logo from George. We adjusted the logo to fit the chassis properly and sent proofs before the chassis was done. Also you can see that the servo wire has heat shrink on it. We do this so we can use a small drop of glue to hold it in place with out ruining the wire.
Photo 3: shows some machining work on the shocks collars and bottom caps. All cars built by us receive this treatment standard in the build. This is just to add some style to the ride!
Photo 4: this is the shock tower trick a lot of the Factory Pros have been doing to the T6.1 and SC6.1. The purpose is to take some flex out of the rear and make it more rigid. This results in a more consistent feel on the track and more corner speed. You can double up two full towers but, you will need longer screws for the gear box to tower mount. The way we do it is by cutting the second tower down to fit just over the gear box. Then use two 3x14mm in the body mount holes and and two 3x20mm screws in the bottom body mount/rear bumper support holes.
Photo 5: lastly, we show how we mounted the motor fan in this SC6.1. (NOTE: this method only works in the SC6.1 and T6.1.) We drilled holes in the top of the rear chassis brace and screwed the directly to the brace. We modified the spur fear cover a touch just for some clearance. We then glued the ESC end of the fan power wires to the side. In the event of a fan failure, it can be unplugged and changed in seconds. The fan is also wired directly to the positive and negative wires of the speed control to get max power to the fan as well as being a reminder to keep your cars unplugged.
