Terry SC on oople has found them on CML shopatron site so will get them from there
That's good as i got another set of tubes from the link i posted, along with some other bits n bobs
Not sure my build(s) are worthy of showing here, but since they are on another forum I'll duplicate them when i get 10 minutes

More progress today, shocks re built with new o rings and springs
Few bits added to chassis, aerial mount etc
Also made up new wing wire and B4 Proline wing
I'm going to add a B4 layshaft and slipper to the gearbox, are there any other parts required for this conversion? I.e layshaft spacer?? Any other bits needed?

Bit more progress:
Gearbox built up with B4 layshaft and trinity light weight slipper
Now in the car:
Added rest of the turnbuckles and carbon covered the battery strap.
One quick question, tried my lipo stick pack in the car and it's 3mm too long, do you move the front battery holder and re drill chassis? Or dremel the insides of rear bulkhead??

you could always just modify a front battery cup by removing the front wall of it. If you are worried about the battery slipping forwards, perhaps a bit of velcro or maybe a bit of slip proof shelf liner between it and the battery?

Nice fibre-lyte pieces - I'm using the early design towers on my runner, but the same battery stay and rear brace.

I was not sure what to go with on the shock tower design but preferred the look of the newer style towers
More progress!
