Thanks ,I built it out of used parts I had laying around. Except the caddx cam,had to buy that to fit , Everything else came off quads long since retired or upgraded.
Too windy to do much today and rain forecast for the rest of the week,guess its gonna sit on the shelf for a bit.

Love it! That is awesome to recycle so much and still have it look so fun! Really like how "low rider" that is. When you get a chance can you list the goodies that you out into it?
