Very nice

More bits turned up, some hopefully go fast bearings...


As well as a few other things like screws and turnbuckles but they aren't very exciting, I guess the same could be said about bearings though.....

Over here in the future it can

For those that like a little bit of twang in their music....

Springs are done and test fit.... There was a little bit of an unexpected consequence for rebuilding the spring packs that I never thought about, but makes perfect sense. Replacing the 45 year old spring slipper pads with new ones put a little more arch back into the springs, so it will be interesti...

Most likely the addition of the holes in the shock tower valley and likely being made of a more plastic like material.

The only thing missing now is the stripper pole

Doesn't Jay Leno own it?

Not all today but I picked up the T3 rear chassis plate this afternoon. I wanted black chassis plates for a box stock truck but somehow ended up with blue ones

I was going to use the blue GT set but I'm not so sure now.....

Not very exciting at the moment but the front end (Bag A and B) is finished. The turnbuckles are early AE titanium and many of the screws are silver aluminium. I also replaced the plastic bushings in the steering rack with bearings. And dust covers because..... well..... they make you faster :wink: ...

I started working on the back of the truck and not everything goes smoothly :roll: lol. I bought a custom works slipper eliminator top shaft and slipper eliminator, checked the weights and when I went to put it together I found out that CW must have done away with the trans spacers. All is not lost ...

Huh, painting the polycarbonate on the inside would make any flat paint glossy.... It won't flake off the outside any more than the inside. I'm not so sure I agree with Tamiya on that one. For what it's worth Horizon says outside. https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/polycarbonate-ps-55-flat-clear-s...

Never heard of these guys before... pretty solid track.

Are you doing any of the old racer tricks, like clamping the leaves in front of the axle and un-clamping the rear? Sorry, I didn't see your post. Probably not at this stage as I bought a set of tramp rod brackets which sort of 4 link the rear. It's a pretty simple but clever idea, I like the fact t...
