Sweet! Gotta love polishing! It's a helluva lot of elbow grease but the results are sure worth it. 8)

Hi,

Yesterday night, i used my fingers to polishing the other plate of the chassis, i changed every 2.6mm srews by 3mm Inox A2 ones after drilling all holes by M3.

I started the build like the manual says, tonight i finish the Diff and maybe continue to polishing ;)

I still have no clue what this car is but I enjoy watching it come together.
Based upon the massive size of that aluminum side plate, I'm guessing that motor cooling was not a problem with this RC. :wink:
Very much looking forward to the next update. :D

If it's not a Mugen Bulldog, it sure resembles one. :)
