LOC Weasel
This is my third LOC kit and as with them all it is a great kit. It builds heavy but with all the heavy wall tubing it is to be expected. Only mistake I made was I should have extended the motor tube out from the bottom of the main tube to allow the addition of a motor retainer. My only complaint would be the instructions are not very good.
