My plans for this weekend didn't go as planned but that's life eh? ![]() only thing I managed today was to build two solid axles so that I can start measuring out all the suspension and height of the frame/body. Also put the old weedwacker engine in there for fun because it's about the same size as the 4cyl engine that will be there later on ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I've also been searching all over the net for suitable diffs for my custom axles since I thought the RC4WD axles were not really what I wanted after all. So after a lot of researching I came up with these Losi 5ive T diffs, should be coming in mail in 2 weeks or so ![]() ![]() Last edited by BJ40Fin; 09-06-2020 at 11:31 AM. |

Great progress. The wheel tyre combo puts it in perspective for me now. Scale looks spot on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
