This woke me up this morning and pulled me up from my hangover and also this Started with the axle and the front gear box Front suspension and steering Installed the servo (sorry for the crappy iPhone pictures) The main transmission, which is still not mounted because the main gears do not move very freely when I tighten the case's screws, it needs a rebuild I used an old MIP I had laying around to link the front GB to the transmission Wheels Shocks, rear one need a rebuild too, can't compress fully That's all for now, will continue tomorrow. |
