Here's the base for an upcoming build.
Graphite tub from Mr. Franky Yeung in Hongkong. Quality is second to none. 175 grams of pure happiness.
On this build I will add all hop-ups I've collected over the years such as the Schumacher SACS, Factory Works steering, battery stap and rear tower. Yokomo wheels, tires and hubs and so on...

Yes, only seen these on pictures, but the finish looks really nice.
Looking forward to see your signature on this one!

This is a beauty of a chassis.

Wish it was made for a DS as well

So when you finish the chassis it's getting a Cortina body with the fluffy dice

more in line of a Volvo 140

I believe he is also offering a 2-piece chassis, so with a DS nose piece you'd be set.

The 140 estate for the win ( possibly "station wagon" in American?) With the Trev and Sharon windscreen decal . I think the first Volvo 140 was scrapped last week but I could be wrong .

That is correct my friend. Send Franky a DM on Insta and he will send you some offers.

Thanks for confirmation Erik. DM sent

Sorry, I didn't see your request until now, but you got it sorted out.

Good luck with a future CF tub DS build!

I couldn't help myself. There will be a shorter summer break from the build, but just had to tinker a bit.
Not all parts are sourced yet, but that will get sorted along the way.
Black 8-32 aluminum screws and 4-40 lock nuts are from Fasteners Express.

Small update.

Shocks all done. All black springs and Brichwood Casey Super Blue on the pivot balls.

Stealth transmission with Losi Hydra-Drive, vintage neoprene dust seal and 6935 aluminum screws

Gear cover is a TBG cover brushed up with steel wool and water.

Sure is going to be a tasty piece with what parts you mentioned and what you’ve gotten done so far.

What black springs on the rear shocks are those?
