Rear driveshafts sorted, b4 axle, mip t4 shaft, axle shims and a Tamiya 12mm hex and we are business!

Scored this front brace off eBay for £4 and the front end is nearly complete!

Carbon tube in the pic is for me to make up some nose tubes!

Nose plate powder coated to match the main chassis

Rebuilt the rear shocks and got one mounted, one had a bent shock shaft so waiting for some more to turn up

Sorry for the upside down pics! Bloody I phone! If you click on them they are the right way round!

Quick question, any benefit of using buggy steering set up/Bell cranks over the truck ones??

Steering done, will get some dye and do it all black

The front end is on!!

Found some NIP front proline T2 wheels

Looking good, can't wait to see the finished results.

Ditch the 10T bellcranks, they are horrible on anything other than a shelfer. Use the worlds steering as it's much better, especially with bearings. Also, pick up some button head 8/32 screws to use for the steering and that will be one serious truck!!

Thanks! Appreciate the input, will get the steering swapped over

These turned up, took a flyer and they fit a treat! (Use metric m3 bolt)

As per the advice I’ve fitted the worlds steering set up now

Took the grinder to some CS washers so the Ali AE screws don’t take too much of a hammering

Servos in

Got the parts to re build the rear shock so here is how she sits at the moment

Going to get the esc/rx in it this weekend and decide on a body for it, prob j concepts retro style one

Got the soldering iron out this weekend, tyres and a body and we are in business!
