Steps 36-48: Driveshafts, Suspension, Steering.
Covered a bit of ground in this update.
Getting on to the driveshafts. We'll need the F-Bag
Parts needed for lower front shaft
Lower front shaft attached to front axle
Parts needed for lower rear shaft
Lower rear shaft done
The upper half of the driveshafts
Parts for the cantilever suspension setup
Putting the cantilever setup together
Stock cantilever setup
Hooking up the upper shafts to the transmission
Front one going on...
Front shocks mounted
Time to get to the panhard rod.
Now for the steering rods
Was experiencing a bit of bump-steer with the combo of servo horn (Boom Racing low profile) and servo (Turnigy MG959 v2 30kg) that I was using, so I decided to add a 1mm spacer to correct that.

Threads like this are making me wish I hadn't bought my SCX10 II and instead waited for this kit. It looks great.

Watched one of these run this weekend, it was pretty solid and the tires were surprisingly good for stock.
It did have some type of issue with the transmission flexing/deflecting giving it some grinding.
But all an all it ran nice, and look pretty good. Enjoy your project.

I'd love to, but I'm running out of space to store all of them! :lmao:

Steps 49-55: Electronics boxes, Sliders, Bumper, Body Posts
The BOM is really starting to come together now.
Non kit parts used in these steps:
1. FlySky FS-R6B Receiver
2. Hobbywing 1080 Esc (available on eBay)
My FlySky FS-R6B Receiver and where it's going...
Some parts for the wiring entrance of the receiver box.
This is where it goes on the truck
Going to be using a Hobbywing 1080 Esc (available on eBay)
Parts for the sliders
Mounted the box without the electronics for the time being.
Front bumper.

Your phone must be like mine - just filled with tons of photos!
Which transmitter will you be using with that receiver?

My hacked Flysky GT3C. It does what it needs to do.
Yep, they're fine! I was just hoping you were going to say you got it to work with a GT5 because that's what I have and it doesn't like most FlySky receivers.

Steps 56-58: Wheels and Tires
This is going to be a short step... not much to see here, and I'm just putting these together for the sake of the stock build documentation.
You're going to need these...
All mounted (little secret.. I haven't glued them yet)
Now you'll need these.
Ok.. this part done. See told you it was a short step.

Please tell me you have no intention of actually using the stock glue on wheels which is why you didn't glue them.
Ok, good, thank you. "thumbsup"
I'll say again, the stock tires are very decent!

Here are the parts needed
Rear Cage put together
Fuel cell painted up and attached to the cage

Steps 60-65: Body & Completion
It's taken be quite a bit of time, and I'm finally done with the "stock" build. I won't be stopping here though. I wanted to build this truck completely stock first just to get that out of the way, but now it's time to start modding and running.
Lexan cab ready for painting
Cab painted and decals applied. My Plasti-dipped fender flares need some work that I'll revisit later.
Here's the grille that I won't be permanently attaching, as I won't be using it.
These are the parts you will need for the front grille
This is how the front grille would look attached
Parts needed for Side mirrors and door handles
Mirrors and door handles attached
Rear cage attached
I love the rear cage hinge for this truck. Very convenient.

Nice job on the paint and fuel cell detailing!
