Looking good Justin. It's been a very long road, hasn't it.
That's an understatement. Fred and I are obsessive over the details- he's still agonizing over the bellcranks. That said, I couldn't be happier with the end result.

Just had a new round of chassis parts arrive on Sunday
Are these the cncrc chassis?
No this is the replica that Fred Swain and I designed with help from Curtis at Associated. I CAD drafted the chassis, towers, standoffs and tranny brace while Fred did all of the suspension parts. We started work on this during the summer of 2014 and have just brought the project near fruition in the past couple of months (life gets in the way...)
Seeing as how everybody is posting up some great builds, I knew I needed to get off my rump and get going on a few project. The first one I wanted to do is to rebuild the 6016 I bought off of eBay.

The Kyosho diffs can be modified to fit the Boost gear casings. I had Bugle machine me up some bearing carriers from Delrin. They basicaly step the smaller Kyosho bearing O.D. size from 14mm up to an O.D. of 17mm (that of the AYK bearing). Also...

oh the miles I put on that track.....it was outside turn 3-4 of the 1:1 track, we used to sweep all the pellets of clay off on sunday so we could race on a clear track.
Looks photoshop'ed to me.
I have to agree with Al here, house pics don't jive at all, I've never seen an Asian child with brown hair with highlights, the scale of the car in his hands doesn't fit a child over 1 ish body length imo- few other small...
