What is the total invested so far in this awesome build?
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Your right I agree, sorry for asking. I asked because shipping from the US is probably more than the cost of the parts.

the part price + shiping from usa to israel + tax, makes the final price double 2.5 or 3 from the price of the part.

very far to be a cheap hobby

today i'm assembled the rear disc brakes.

i had a little problem because the caliper brackets doesn't fitt to the 3x3 arms, so i had to notch the arms to clear off enough space to the brackets.

after the notching I closed the hole with welding a piece of metal and checked that is sealed water to come into the arms.

some pics from my work today
