Vigilante 23 Posted July 30, 2013 Hey guys - with most of us starting to get into our builds of the NovaFox - lets see them! Ive just finished mine - minus the wing at this stage. Looking to put one on that is similar to MadRacers. Gun Metal Grey with some bling rims. Leaving swaybar off - as its useless. Cheers 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAD RACER 566 Posted July 30, 2013 Looks great. My wing is raised with large alloy spacers that I had to maximise the air flow over it. Yes the wing sticker on mine is not central but couldn't take it off as for fear off ripping it. Didn't want to do the water & detergent method as mine always develop air bubbles over time.

Vigilante 23 Posted August 9, 2013 Came up with an idea on how to fit a better looking wing onto the NovaFox.Used some servo horns for height and push the wing back from the body a bit. Doesnt look too bad. The wing is from ***** (Kyosho / Javelin). Thanks to MADRACER where he got it from.Cheers 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vigilante 23 Posted August 11, 2013 Took the NovaFox out for its maiden run at the park. Since taking the photos, took the brass spacers out of the front shock, to stop that 3-wheel lean. Also made shorter cables to the battery. Runs well - slow, but well.Cheers 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregM 1109 Posted August 11, 2013 Watch out! There's a foxhound trying to prey your Fox. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigSteve 149 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi all my Nova Fox build starts next weekend when the wife is away. My daughter has been nagging me to get a new build so she can help. My problem is I intend to spray the body in work next week buy I can't decide what colour. I'm drawn towards box art but on the other hand something that really stands out. All suggestion would be appreciated. Steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigSteve 149 Posted August 22, 2013 I think I'll give that one a miss lol. Been looking at PS-35. Steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vigilante 23 Posted August 22, 2013 Box art is ok - but too many people do that. Y not a two-tone, silver ontop, and another colour under it. Teal or Cherry Red, Metallic Flake paint - that will still out. I did that with my old Fox body. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted August 23, 2013 What color is this. Is it a Tamiya PS color? Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
