That is awesome!

Looks like they got rid of the L shaped rear mounts and moved the entire assembly back some

Life saver! I'll order that up as soon as I can. Much appreciated. Getting closer...
Found out I need a new battery for my 1980s Futaba Magnum also...this is getting out of hand

Here is a better view of the problem

Original part...didn't fix the fitment.

The wheels dont line up with the wheel wells. When I turn the fronts they hit the fender.

Ok thank you.
Looks like I am going to have to fill and move the holes on the body

Little bit off on chassis fitment

I know what you mean about the brittleness. The wheels that came on it are broken and I only drove this a few times when I was a kid.

Are the Vaterra's 54x30 and 54x26? Are they 2 piece so the center color can be changed?

Thanks. Those are super clean. I'll check them out.
Did the bearings last night.

Wd40 doesn't mess up plastic parts?

Well turns out what I thought was dirty grease in between the gear teeth was actually tiny rock.

You guys think denatured alcohol is safe to use to clean them?

I also ordered a full set of ball bearings for this car

I was applying grease to all of the gears in the rear. I notice some flex between the gear on the drive belt and the gear that comes in contact with the pinion. It is moving to the point that it is binding. I am not sure why when everything is supported and in place.

Ready for paint

Thanks. I only have the straight ones. I think I need the bent ones.
