Fumotec 490

Hi Calum, nice/interesting to see the progress pictures. Looks like the finish of the various pieces has improved too from when I build mine.

That valve block sure looks impressive!

Note - I know the upper rollers are just installed temporarily (pictures posted )9/23), but be aware that the shorter end is supposed to be to the outside. In the pictures you have them alternating. That way your track will not track.

Here a picture of what I mean:

Yes I noticed looking at other peoples pictures their metal parts seemed to have a lot of surface rust on them
The valve block really is an excellent piece! Its a premacon block and weighed over 400g without the the servo's fitted

Good spot, I hadn't noticed that I had to file out the holes to get the bolts to be a looser fit. I will swap them about when I rebuild
