It begins.....

Well, that's night 1 in the bank.... Night1.jpg That ASSociated front end is fiddly as anything! Surprised I only lost one e-clip, with my sausage fingers.... Night1 Front End.jpg Night 2 will most likely involve adding the rear arms... I need to pull down my donor transmission and add all the 'good...

Night 2 done... just installed the rear arms and hubs. Will sort out the rear hub bearings and start disassembly of the donor trans tonight, so progress may get a little slow for a while....

Night 3 was a quiet one, progress-wise... sorted out some more of the missing parts, and did some more work on the rear end. Night3.jpg It's been a while since I've put together Schumacher driveshafts from new parts (plastic parts and unis), and I've never done the Daytona shafts before... they're a...

Some "Free, just pay postage" Tamiya bits from a good FB friend.... TA04 - pretty much complete, apart from gear cases I think... TA04 Parts.jpg TB01 - Near enough to new tub parts, to go into one of my rebuilds. TB01 Parts.jpg Next up: Durango parts (please don't ask me why!). Alex

Why?

If I knew the answer to that........

Sad day yesterday.... we had to say goodbye to our gorgeous Louie. Only 7 years old, but ravaged by Lymphoma. Still, he put on a brave face right to the end...
Fair thee well, Mr. Munchkin... our lives were better for having you in them. We'll see you again, one day.

Shame the manual doesn't include pictures of the parts sprues, or even a list of all the required sprues... guess I've just been spoiled by EVERY OTHER RC MANUFACTURER. Just think of it as a puzzle. A little workout for the brain. Something to slow you down so you don't build it in just a few hours...

Hope you gave them the correct address..... they're usually not great at shipping to Australia.

Quick couple of update photos, after having put the transmission together. Bearings in the layshaft, but still bushes on the ball diff - it was in nice, smooth condition, so I didn't feel like dismantling it to add bearings. Carbon fibre rear tower is a Bezerk reproduction.... they do good work! Rea...

"juicy" denotes increased swearing, yes?

I have to be honest, this one was not taken by me.... but I am in it. Yeah, that's me on the right.... graduating from university. Very interesting (and long) day.

Thanks to my brother for grabbing the screenshot for me

So Associated said there wouldn't be any parts for the CC Straight from them https://www.associatedelectrics.com/news/latest_products/2796-new-parts-for-the-6004-rc10cc-classic-clear-kit/ I always assumed this meant the fragile clear plastic parts... pretty much to stop people from running their 10...

Can anyone ID these heat sinks and whatever these plastic plugs are..they have different numbers on the ends.. ?? https://i.postimg.cc/wxh9QzKw/08-A28-A15-76-B3-4-CE8-80-BA-AC50732-F1020.jpg The plastic plugs look like the ones used to set up the power program and current limiting on LRP ESCs.... t...
