My first VZ chassis, its so glowly lol

Gonna be racing this tmr, not sure what im doing and ive never gone bumperless before. Chassis is ... much more flexible than i thought, even with the carbon fiber piece i installed in the middle the whole thing has some good deck flex (not sure what words to describe it, again new to VZ)

The rear is a simple long tail, the kind that's build for ME, FMA and basically anything where the rear can be bumperless. Its a brake plate + one stick + an underguard of your choice, this is a pretty common idea and easy to setup. If you don't want to use the stick/popcicle u can use other mounting plates but for me i've never seen em (mostly because its seems a bit unecessary, whereas the stick does the job especially if you are using 13mm or 19mm rollers for the rear).

Front is a simple fully cowled, extended brake plate (i'm not sure if this is correct, but I wanted the brake plate to be stick out like that because that's how it normally sticks out if there was a front bumper (so when i'm checking my brake clearance, the brake plate is still where I expect it to be (obviously you can completely forgo this front option, again i have no idea what i'm doing for VZ i'm coming from an MA (so its very... very different experience).

I have a power dash, spring dash, and hyper dash that i'll be testing this with, i hardly use single shaft motors, so i'll figure it out as I go. Enjoying the build for now. Simple, easy to assemble.

Monthly race at Modojo in Hong Kong!! and my second last race in hong kong before heading back to Canada

One of the... more challenging courses for my MA chassis, suprisingly one of the top 3 winners was running an SFM with 5:1 ratio gears to tackle the technical sections (i believe he ended up 2nd, he helped me adjust my car at the end of the race there's a run of it)

this track is desceptively simple, i thought i would go full speed machdash, but i can't go too fast here or the bathtub (table top up and down) or the double slope jump or the table top jump or jump into a lane changer will get u... (my god this was a nightmare for my MA chassis, and it turns out I wasn't choosing the right setup idea for this track, good learning experience).
