What PL42AC shell do you have,(they had 2)They offer 2 frames,1 is machined alu.(very light)but can be weighted,2nd is a custom stewart frame n drive,remember this is a craftsman kit,if you dont have many
modeling skills this is NOT for you,As I have both,I chose the latter one as the drive was ready to go and runs Very smooth,still requires work,filing,fitting,flashing,truck side frame mounting,again not for
the beginner but end results are great when done right
