Build has been slow going due to commitments having to do with my sister-in-laws wedding next weekend. You would think I would not be affected but the wife is the matron of honor, my daughter is the flower girl and my son is the ring bearer.
Flippin wedding is costing me 1K and we haven't even bought a gift yet. Oh, it's her second go around at the altar as well which just gnaws at my chode. At least this guy isn's an ahole like the last one.
This weekend I am off on a house boat for a weekend long bachelor party. I am sensing liver, sun damage and sleep deprivation. I am just hoping not to get jacked-up by the tube of pain.
Crap, I have derailed my own thread.
Back to the build....front and rear ends are in as well as the center diff. I am waiting on some King Headz billet aluminum steering knuckles. I can't bring myself to put the stock cast aluminum ones on.
I am still shocked that Kyosho puts phillip head screws in their kits. At this price they should spring for some hex heads for craps sake.
The Ninja will be broken-in on a break-in stand when I can free-up a few hours to do so. This way once the truck is completed, I will only have to take a couple of passes to make sure the drive-train is good and I will be off.
Brown santa dropped off my new starter box today.
