It got a little tricky. On each side of the transfer case is an m3 bolt where I bolted the battery tray to the floor pan. I had to drill a hole to do this but there is a support/standoff on the other side it makes up in. This stiffened it up a lot. Once it all is squared away I think I’ll two part epoxy this individual pieces as a single unibody. I still need to thread and attach the upper links, fab a steering link, wire the motor and ESC, and then it’ll be ready. LOL. It’s so cute. If there was only a reasonably good source of axles for this scale. |

I may have missed this, but are those 1.55" wheels you're running?

While waiting on my m2 and an m2.5 die as well as some 2.5mm stainless rod to arrive, I figured I’d go ahead and superglue the links. LOL. It worked well on my micro Fungi Goat. |

I'm finding attaching the links difficult but mostly because I don't have the proper hardware. I'm using the slickrock as my donor car and a lot of it's hardware screwed into a plastic frame/chassis so I don't have the nuts to fit on the hardware I have. It also came with a wacky 3 link suspension setup made of molded plastic that's way too wide for the WPL frame. it's looking like I might have to mod more and think further outside of the box than I was planning to. that's kind of the fun part of all this though. I'm going with slickrock shocks too though so angles are going to be crazy. I think I'm going to have to fab up a plate like those ones they have for the scx-10s to become mud trucks/monster trucks.

I bought some GPM shocks for the Mini-T. Springs are a bit stiff, but size seems to be ok: My kit came with an extra motor, which is a few millimetres longer than the mounted one: N20 motor with punisher shaft vs. stock drivetrain: |

Lean those shocks over to about a 45* angle and see how it sits. | |

The only thing that steered me away from the Redcat axles was they are all the same front/rear steer. If you would, count how many turns in to turns out those are? |

The gear ratio or turns. Either/or doesn’t matter.

The silver touch ups make a lot of difference. I may have to order a second one.
