Got some roller chain for my rear shackles. Welded it to the top of the axle plates

Got two more highlift shocks from klabeume and took out the internal springs

The suspension sits in droop in the rear



The front is in semi-droop. Only about 1/4" up travel.
I'm getting about 4" of articulation.

Got drive shafts in an turned the knuckles around for BTA steering


Of course now that they're turned around they hit the lower shock mount.


Here's a detail inside the portal

Used a brake lathe at work with the double chuck and a dremel with a carbide deburr tool to open up my inner rings and clear the portals


I moved the front lower shock mounts so the knuckles would clear.

This thing is awesome!

I got the spool reversed in the rear

And got a tie rod and drag link in and did a quickie servo mount

And got it outside under power










Ok. It has a wild amount of dog track I need to get out of the rear, the servo sucks, I broke a lower front shock mount and lost both springs out of the front end(still need to figure out how to retain them) but it drives amazingly!
It's as good as I had hoped.

I also discovered that the 1:1 is for sale. Naturally right after buying the wife a car.

Ricky! I was hoping you were still around. It's been a while for sure!
I ordered a 50mm wide timing belt to duplicate the worn out sand paddle fenders. I'm going to try and get supports welded on then start in on the interior

Used some paper and a sheet of styrene for floor making

Then cut out the floor and extended the motor wires and snapped the floor in

Then used some leftover chunks of foam and knocked out some seats

Then hooked everything up and went for a drive

They came in a box of stuff from an auction. They're metal and 1/4-28 thread. That's all I know
