Background:
This is my first TF2 or hard body for that matter. I used to be big into the 1:5-1:8 world with 5ive's and Mugen buggies so this was a fun challenge for me. I've checked everything for adequate grease, loose screws and loctite everything that would need it. I'm now just awaiting my final parts and some soldering here and there. Biggest challenge to me was the canopy, it wouldn't sit 100% flush and I sadly rushed myself on it. For my first I think it's turned out alright, what do you think? Any suggestions on mods or upgrades? Thanks for looking!

Looking really good!! Can't wait to see the first roll over or a "Doug smash". With his scx10.2.

Before you install the 4 link, drive the leaf springs first.

I would also look into the Gelende 2 shock hoops for the front and longer shocks. I moved my rear shocks to the front and got 100mm shocks for the rear. I added the Teraflex revolver shackles to the rear, which worked great with the 100mm shocks

Oh no. The screw in the trans is to long. Surprised it even goes. Gonna strip the gears. Oh and the right front knuckle is bad.

Front shocks installed today (still waiting for 4 link to do rears). Thinking I'm gonna get some Glendale hoops to take the lift away they gave it. There's some binding in the shocks I need to deal with, but just minor stuff.

Moved shock hoops back (ditched inner fenders) as experiment, fixed all my binding. Now I know where to place Glendale hoops when they arrive.

4 link came in the mail today, I must say it's quite impressive. Now awaiting a few more odds and ends including a set of 1.55 Baja Claws.

Testing Leds, no controller yet just an on and off switch. Have rock lights on the way and then she should be plenty bright enough for some night runs.

Quick update, been a busy week.
Got bench seat in, now to find a driver.
Threw some steel marlin sliders on.
Switched from Punisher shafts to Junfac.
Ended up going with Baja Claws instead of Pit Bulls.
Rock Lights installed.
RC4WD wireless light controller.

She’s about 97% done, just waiting on some decals and some Glendale shock hoops.
Thanks for looking! More updates to come!
