Looks right to me. Although the Buds conical washer setup was sooooooooooooooo much better when you put the tapered ends together, the locked the nut down to make it a solid rear axle.

I had/have a Evolution 10 SS that someone used CA for diff lube, no joke-

They had that up for like a day and then randomly decided to take the body and wheels off to sell separately. The seller is that B&R Railways-n-Hobbies who I ranted about due to the surfaces they put items on to take pictures. In this instance they rubbed that thing all over their cement driveway. :roll:

My A+ fail was using caustic soda to strip anodizing on a nose plate. Left it in over night. Nothing left but a perfect shade of gunmetel grey.
