That's a lot of fun, I'm fascinated by these FF builds. I can't wait to see one running...just saying...!

Cheers, Paul

It'll run but I'm a lousy camera man

Optima front hubs arrived and they look more the part . Slightly better picture of the rear .

Getting less silly , new front shocks are not SRB but AYK Super Trail shocks , look the part nicely though and lowers the top of the shocks by 20mm that helps with the look too . I'm also printing some Rough Rider front wheels with 4mm offset to narrow the front track as it's just over 250mm wide , once I have the front track settled I'll make a rear suspension mount to match .

Are you going to be able to install a motor? It looks partially obstructed.

Not at present without removing the suspension, its only two screws to remove it but it will fit a motor and cover in the space , I'm toying with the idea of doing a modified motor mounting , that is to say I am definitely going to modify the gearbox so that it can fit other motors other than a silver can and I'm not currently sure the extent of the modification , that is weather I'll make it so other pinion choices are possible or just to fit other motors with the stock choice of two pinions and spur gears .
