This should be an amazing build, most deff. Going to subscribe to this one!

Any initial thoughts when you saw the axles? I may be doing a 1.9 build my self and those look like some really nice axles.

Thanks.....the axles seem well designed and I like the look plus the steel hexes. The chrome covers will probably
get converted to black to get rid of the street chrome. I've done a more detailed axle review with additional
pics that should get posted on the front page some time.

Got some more tube work done. Trying the Hilux shock collars for the upper rear shock mounts.
Turned off the little ball area and fish-mouthed the backside so I could braze it to a chassis tube.

Steel hexes are most definitely a plus.
What body are you going to go with? Or are you doing a scale tuber?

Got some work done on the steering box with dropped pitman. Uses one of the splined
Hilux shafts and servo arms (a little bulky but will be under the front clip). Small spacer
also used inside but not shown. Pitman is 16 gauge steel tapped for 3mm screw.

Do you think flex will be an issue with the plastic part? IIRC, miniwheeler had flex problems on his formula toyota with a steering box.

I wonder if this rig will end up having the legacy that Ralph does? Nice rig man! Love it so far.

I had missed the Formula Toy build so went back and looked it up. Jim did an awesome job on that rig.

Mine is a little different in that only the one servo arm is plastic. The pitman and "steering box" are
metal and seem to be fairly rigid. I'll also be running a lighter truck with smaller tires. I think I'll give
it a go an see how it works.

For wheels, how about putting on some Landies from RC4WD? They look great on the Crushers, and the Hilux.
