A few questions from a newbe

[GASPowered]

I just won an auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1787210466&rd=1) on Ebay for a Rocket Racer and I have a few questions.

1) I'm working on a Tamiya 1/24 Ford Focus WRC model and I just realized that it has a very short rear overhang. After looking at some pictures of the DRR's chassis I fear that the body won't fit over the motor area. Any ideas?

2) Do these upgrades (http://www.precisionmodelproducts.com/id34.htm) look any good? I noticed there isn't much going on in the hop-up section so I thought this was a good find.

3) And finally, what's a good internal antenna?

make sure that the motor rear end is all the way in. look on the bottom of it and you will notice that the rear axel and motor and all is on a sperate piece on the bottom chassie and it has several holes in it where it mounts on to the lower deck, make sure its all the way in. See if the body is all the way back in the front and that the mounthing holes are not off center.

2. be more specific on the upgrades (go to my site and ask on my forum and I will make a list sometime)

3. leave your windows clear on your body if you can and strip about 6" of your antenna and make a triangle out of it and get it to lay down in the body. personaly i just got a black antenna rod, shortend it compared to the stock one, and left the cap off.
