I never did a build thread for this car, but I drove it into a curb with a broken bumper and sent the front wheel flying about 20ft, so here is my rebuild thread. I broke a good number of parts, so I figured I would just upgrade a few extra parts while I'm at it.
Here's the ghetto bumper that got this started. Velcro and zip ties, all it's missing is Duct Tape.
Snapped and bent turnbuckles.
Broken KK steering part.
Broken Diff Cup Joint.
Broken Front Shock Tower.
New Bumper, and Carbon Reinforced KK Parts.
New Suspension Mounts. Found the whole set for $30.
Yeah Racing Kit for XV-01. Why not?
New Turnbuckles and Diff Joint Cup.
Let's fix this beast!
New steering parts.
New blue front arms, knuckles and suspension mounts.
New front shock tower.
New rear arms, knuckles, and shock tower.
Back in business!
Front in business!
I can't use my Lancia Delta body anymore if I want to use this whole bumper, which I obviously need to, so I threw on my ancient HPI Lexus beater body. I'm ordering a Subaru body next week, but this will do for now.
I'll post a run vid when I borrow my friend's camera sometime this month.
Stay Blessed!
