Ball joints maybe?
I would add it on. But then it wouldn't shoot.
You could probably figure out a way to make it work. I did. :)
how many yellow(grey) connectors does this use?
I remember this thing. It was sick. I'll have to probably build it again sometime. I think your torque bow instructions were deleted though. Perhaps you could re-post it? I want to try and build that again too.
Looks sick! 5* just for looks.
Looks great bakenbitz, I thought you only used your GrandeSwag account though.
