New body

Final assembly. FINISHED! Bench tested and took it for spin up and down the street. Friggin’ amazing. PROS - Smoothest most solid drive train of all my rigs. A arms are definitely beefy I like the battery trays/ holders Steering really rocks CONS - front steering block/pillow balls didn’t come...

Getting ready to add oil. I’m going with zero rebound. 550 cst front, 600 cst rear. These shocks feel much lighter than Tekno and Mugen. Painting body, tidy up wires and final assembly later today.

Shock absorbers.

Gonna roll with this for now. I’ll tidy up the wiring later.

I’m skeptical about radio plate setup. Yes everything clears. This ESC / radio plate leaves a lot to be desired.

Bag #10…. Yeah there is no bag #9 🤷 And no receiver box.😳

Bag #8 silky smooth.

Center Diff and motor next.

Steering assembly completed ✔️

Bag #7 Steering

Bag #5 Front suspension. Bag #6 While I appreciate pillow balls I definitely don’t like building them. These were a PITA! Bag #6 front and rear assembly completed. One of the threads in the PB steering block gave total grief. Could not get it thread properly. After an hour or so finally...

Bag #4 finished

Front and rear diff bulkheads with labyrinth dust covers and diff height inserts. The spring clips and dust boots on the cvd’s are kinda cool And it’ll be interesting to see how the adjustable diff height works out. Starting out with diffs in lower position.

Getting started…bags are labeled numerical instead of letters like Tekno and Mugen. Center diff Letting the bubbles bleed. Feeling sturdy and smooth.

Will post how that works out.

I hear ya, just for sh*Ts and grins I’ll try it.

No time to start build tonight. Reading manual and checking a few things out. Impressive Never done this before. Gonna give it a try.
