Axles are just mocked-up, adjustments to links/shock length is necessary.

I am also curious about those axles... are they splined where they go into the carrier like a tlt axle, or are they squared like a axial axle?

Thanks you very much Guys! It has so far been a real pleasure to work on the Project.

IcemanCrawler, the Rock Bug W.E. Rock Grand Nationals version had clear sides, the KOH (the latest version) seem to have the metal sheets painted Blue plus the spare tire and fog lamps.

Doing some re-work on the upper/lower links, wanting to inboard the lower links making sure it is free from bind. i Am also doing a clean install of the the electronics/power pack, in preparation to working on the interior.

Thanks for your kind interest and patience.

Missed out to reply. They are not splined, they are like these:

Got the Bug as a Runner. Was able to in-board the lower links and am working out ways to get both F/R axle housing on the same side. New pics with the fog lights installed.

I still need to get hold of a welder, and chewing gum is banned in Singapore.
So just went with the next best thing ...

It's been raining yesterday and Today :( Soon as the Sun is out, you bet we'll go for a wild spin.

Thanks for the kind remarks. Ride height is about 30mm with all 4 shocks fully compressed. Definitely a belly dragger on teflon skid plates for a lower CG. Soon as the RC4WD Ultimate Scale Shocks, will have a little more clearance.
