I'll get some pix up where I think the engine blends into the body quite well.

Stock speed is like 50 - 55 km/h. I'll eventually look into any possible performance upgrades, though its not really a priority and I first wanted to the get thing running again :lol:

Hey myspree, you screwed me on the express parts which are for sale on another forum and if you want those gears pay the shipping, your reputation is so low you should be banned from every forum!!!

I really don't know. The only info I have like that is the Elite manual I downloaded from here; which may or may not be the same...

I was able to figure out the turn signal relay and all the switches and was finally able to put everything back together last week-end! Other then waiting on the LED lights I ordered, here is the finished product!!

Ya, every engine part gets up to a slightly different temperature. The paint wasn't *quite* meant for it, so those temperatures affected it a lil.
The baby blue was high heat/caliper paint that was suppose to act as a high heat base.
