[QUOTE="Dan_Goodwin, post: 574983, member: 4960"] It was time to begin planning out controls and linkages, so the Warrior was stripped and the mock up motor swapped for the real one: [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/dgoodwin10/media/IMG_0397_zpstqi11rxb.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/dgoodwin10/IMG_0397_zpstqi11rxb.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I had measured for exhaust clearance when making the new rear frame so I wouldn’t toast my back.
