Strapped on my Drift Cam and took some footage of my first day out playing.

Few defects to sort out now though...
Rear diff leaking quite badly. Although in the end, this turned out to just be nipping up the drain plugs and other bolts holding the casing together - I took it apart to check the crownwheel during build, clearly needed a final nip on the bolts. Hopefully fixed now.
Cycle wings. Arrgh!! Must be about 5 times they've fallen off now. Think it's partially down to the fact that I've opted for 17" wheels, so they sit much further than all you other boys with 15" wheels and have more "leverage" on the bracket. They keep cracking on the welds. I've welded them up each time, but then the next weld along cracks.
I'm going to have to re-engineer them more substantially at some point, but for the moment I'm just patching them back together so I can have the car available for the best of the weather.
Awesome drive by the way - the power is phenomenal and it handles like a go kart - levels of grip are outstanding. Plus the extra power to weight means it's quite lively at the back end!!!
More updates soon...
