Default YJ Jeep on TF2 SWB

Hello Guys....
As the title the new kit arrived
Sorry for the poor quality of the pics and the location, my workin room had a mess with a water pipe broken and for now i have to work in the kitchen (don't tell my wife):





The box contenent is multilevel with 3 levels
The manual


1st floor


2nd floor


ground floor



new clever items in first release...


those helpers give a bit more flex on the leafs


I've opened the tranny and I used the rc4wd lube thats it is sticky as i love


and also the Yota2 axles


and I started to mount the chassis as the manual says... but before 2/3 interesting things...
New short leafs, measure are in mm (102mm)



rear shock towers can be mounted in 2 positions


stock


or lower



Here it is mounted

A few pics in the kitchen of the chassis naked:









the amazin scale steel shaft




the skid bed that have the lower links mount for future upgrades


The servo mount with 2 positions (don' mount the servo as the picture but over the mount because as the pic the steering arm (pitman) will hit the axle bow


just goes like this for the servo







the motor with a 32pitch of 22 teeth


new shoes

those are 1,7 claws on 1,7 wheels

look aggressive and still scale








For the class1 measures are ok in the fenders

This looks awesome. What color do you plan to paint the body?

Looking forward to your review on its performance. I'm interested in getting one.

Very cool kit. Why didn't they include k44's? Yota axles don't make since. Your wheel/tire combo looks fantastic. Ready for more sir

Tj will be nice... You can take the two yota trusses and the game is ready...
So you can go spring over with links...

If i have time i'll go with a 1/4 elliptical at the rear on my yj

Thinking about to buy a TF2 SWB also, however i've read somewhere that the stock Yota 2 axles, do not hold the knuckle/chubs screws very well, is this right?

If you plan to stick with the stock leafs, add a second short leaf under the main leaf. The stock leafs are very weak where the screw holes are at the axle mount.

I've lost one screw, then used blue Loctite on them. No problem since.
