I will update when there are some, sorry. Snail Build for a reason. IaROCKs next comp is in DBQ, but there may be one in your area some time this season. I will sell them. They are a good looking tire but that's about it. Thanks for the compliments"thumbsup"

You can count the layers of dust on it.

 

[Bart bender]

PROGRESS!!
This is not going to be the permanent trany set up, but it WILL get this antique running till I can get the ideal set up fabbed.

Started mocking up some interior.

The Toyzuki divorced SCX10 motor mount inspired me to get this damn rig rolling. Fabbed up a mount, custom input shaft, and Junfac shaft to transfer the power. Really happy with how it came out.




Also fabbed up a BTA steering link. I don't have enough room in the front for a traditional drag link. I think the length and angle are going to be perfect too. Just need to get the servo mount built next.

 

[Bart bender]

Steering? Check



Pretty happy with the stance with the motor, servo, and battery in. This is just a 2200mah batt in there.

I spent part of the last weekend adding some much needed details to this rig. Pretty happy with how they turned out.

Hood is done other than color.


Front shocks mounted too. Hence the holes in the hood

 

[Bart bender]

Yes about 1/2". It was just too wide before. Thanks.

This is a major milestone in the rigs life. It's the first time EVER it's been mechanically all together. All shafts are built and installed. Suspension, steering, everything is ready to go. Just need to get ready for electronics and viola. She's ready for the trails.

 

[Bart bender]

Threw some color on it. Stuff doesn't dry so good in my 65deg hobby dungeon. Can't wait to scratch this pig!
