Did it come with bearings or bushings?

Can you convert it to 4W steering?

I don't think any Tamiya kits come with bearing, I know the ones I built didn't.

Looking good Zandor

I just installed the front axle.Installing the springs on the axle was a pain.

I did..I may pick another one up and trick it out.
Now that I have seen this one I think I can make a 4 link suspension set up on one.

Rear axle installed..

Shocks are on now...
You guys would not belive how much hardwear is still there..There must be over 1000 screws in this kit.

[FastEddy]

Are the shocks oil filled?
They look a bit scrawny.

No oil in them..They are spring loaded.
They are pretty beefy..The leaf springs do most of the work.

Ok, I started mine got the tranny all done now about to start on the frame. Kind of disapointed there are no bearings. I will get more done tomorrow!

I have this also, and I'm curious as what you guys are going to use for the stick guides on the controller.
