After several minutes of work (with a file), the front tower is down.

Image

Just after I started to work on the front and rear custom body mounts.
(Not sure to be really right with length, may be too long...)

The building process continue.

In first, the front body mount fit the nose plate.

Image

The Houge enterprise steering levers fit his RCPS turnbuckles and white ball cups.

Image

Tower and camber links fit the waiting front end.

Image

Image

They shocks could be assembled to complete the front end.

Image

Now the front end could fit the chassis.

Before all, I have to reduce the length of the nose brace and polish it slightly.
(BK used 2 small Aluminium blue washers, probably to balance the lost length due to a chanfer at the end to join perfectly the nose plate???)

Image

Nothing to say.
Excepted, I definitively need the right screws and a black lower spring cup...

Image

Or.

Not so easy to glue properly they tires on wheels, without the inner and outer edges.

Next step, fidding the right screws (titanium or stainless steel) and a lower black spring cup, making the fiberglass battery brace, building a gear cover, fidding the right speedo heatsink and fitting the electronics.

Please help me with Mr Lexan to make me a RCPS Mirage SS shell WITH airscoop, send him a wave of PM asking him this special release .
Him also looking for Sanyo florescent pink stickers and Kimbrough black servo orns to fit Airtronics steering servo
