This is an interesting build that came full circle. I actually ended up losing interest in this one and selling it to William (nvxwax) and then buying it back! William thankfully added the blue shocks for me (although I went the extra mile with the blue rpm perches and collars and blue metal shock caps). I also put in a nip worlds steering setup, completed the 6 gear trans work that I left half done when I sold to William. I had to fix some botched modifications (my screwup) to the trans case.
The car features red anodized pan, nose, motor plate, and wheels. The screw set is all red as you can see, the 6-gear has all Thorpe 48 pitch internal gears, and the outdrive bearing mod with removal of the small inner bearing and brass spacer. (See old RC Car action scan/thread in tech section on how to do this. It was a lot of work, not sure that I would do it again).
I sold it with this body to William (which was why I had 2nd thoughts, loved how the body turned out from W.E.D Jim's paint) and he trimmed and mounted it. The Hot Trick rear shock tower was not working out to get a tight fitment around the rear shocks so I changed it to a 10T rear tower and nip buggy front tower that I dyed red to match the build.
I still need to complete the electronics, mount the wing, get the rear ball cups converted to the blue RPM units, and get the body to fit a little better on the front.
