Find your self a pencil with a black eraser prime and substitute the inventory stoppers with the eraser head.
Best Mod: The inventory servo is sweet, however changing it with a stronger one is at all times choice. Higher finish servos will even add some weight to the entrance, serving to preserve the nostril down for traction. Would additionally prefer to see some totally different tires.
