Okay, I need some input. I got the body...... Way too small. Axles are way too wide. Body is too small. I'm not sure what route to go. One idea I'm toying with is to cut the body, use the front clip, rear clip and make some type of "rock buggy". I don't know. Any input is appreciated.     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: Ecto-1 I think the HPI Grave Robber body is the route I’ll take. It’s going to take more paint work than I wanted to tackle but, I think I can make it work. I blew my hobby cash on gathering this round of parts. Rebuild the hobby cash and order the body, in the mean time I can carry on getting the chassis ready. |

Did a little clean up on wires. I'll use the AE-2 until it goes out. Same for the motor. Re- soldered everything. Extended the battery leads.     That dual roach holder is very handy.   Went ahead and tossed the driveshafts together. Not sure what the lengths will end up. I'll adjust accordingly.   Had Jack the killer attach dog watching over me as I worked. Not one single leaf will attach me in the carport.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What about a 1/14 scale or a 1/18 scale to match it up with the body?

I might gather some parts down the road and make the toy ECTO-1 into a small drifter or something. | |

Going to have some black steelies. Would like to figure out a way to do a Cadillac style hub cap...   Just using some good ol' Rustoleum for this. One thing (common) I screwed up on with the wheels... I didn't pay attention to the hub when I ordered. Currently pin type. I'll have to order some hex hubs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Made some chassis mounts for the servo. Just a dry run for now. It can be mounted lower. Once more comes together I'll see if it'll work. Worth a shot. That's steel, not aluminum. Pretty stiff, I don't think it'll have any give. Time will tell.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Steelies done. Now just need the body to start setting wheel base and ride height.  Going to have to come up with shock parts or another set. I had enough parts to do three. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
