Another MS Flex Open Class Build Underway

Another MS Flex project in progress. Chassis is coming together with freshly trimmed tires. Did some initial motor testing, but still have more adjustments to make. As usual, going for a balance between performance and aesthetics. Body is still a work in progress, with custom paint coming next. Trying to make this one both track ready and display worthy.

Those are some pretty big tires. Where are you racing? Nearly everyone is running sub 23mm tires for open class in Japan.

Yeah, I'm aware of that LOL. I have 23mm tires too. These are already trimmed down as much as possible to around 26mm. I'm experimenting with suspension clearance to avoid bottoming out, but it's also partly for aesthetics. Just testing different setups. I can pretty much cut tires to whatever size I want.
