Motor warmed up and sounds just awesome after the updates we made on it!! 😀

In the end of last week I got parts I been waiting for the last couple of weeks so FINALLY it was time to start working on the race car to get it ready for the test and our first outing in 2016 at Malmö Raceway 29/4-1/5! It is a lot of work left to do and I need to order some missing parts but we did have a really good working weekend on it and that feels really good!!

  
Me dad and Max got a lot of stuff done, we started out with almost nothing and ended up with a car that is 80 percent complete again! 😀

  
Finally, parts to the car!!

   
   
Doing some special stuff, just like always! 😉
