No I have not got them from the water jet.
In this case no news is not good news. I am going to stop there tomorrow when I go in to town.
I did find out why it is taking so long, the cogeneration plant had some sort of emergency, broken parts and stuff. He has been cutting like mad for them. 500,000 house holds, I guess are more important.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of upright shocks even though I like the look of the cantilever setup. Do scx shocks work on your kit? Just so I'm clear, your setup doesn't increase steering angle, it just takes the slop out of it?

I had the same feeling on the cantilever shocks; I liked the look of the truck. I spent allot of time trying to make them work properly, different springs, oil, different shocks you name it. I even moved the shock mounting point to try and line the shock up with the fulcrum of the cantilever better. I gave up; I think one problem is just too much friction in all the ball ends for a truck this light.

I believe pretty much any 85mm shock would work.

My kit turns the steering as far as it can; the knuckle is what the limiting factor is. I think my steering may turn further than stock steering. I can not say for sure as I do not have any stock to compare to.

I now feel I have got the suspension setup dialed, at least for my driving style and the way I would like to use the truck. A good middle ground, crawls well and still can hall the mail . I am going to try and put up some video of it in action in the next few days(it is raining at the moment).

St. Irie, I just received my steering kit in the mail today. I hope to install it later tonight. I just wanted to give you props on your professional packaging, delivery time, assembly, and parts quality. I really wasn't expecting all this. I'm very excited to be the proud own of this assembly. Thank you.

No they are not done
I really am working on this, I know it seems like it is taking forever, it seems like it to me to. I just need them to be right and hold up and find someone to produce them which is what I am working on now.

Sounds good no worries. I thought that you may had forgotten about my PM on the issue when I heard people were receiving them. No worries as to timing. My TH JUST STRIPPED SOMETHING A FEW MOMENTS AGO, so the weekend fun with it is over. Now back to the MT4G3 and I picked up a used Ground Pounder that somebody decided to place a MMP and a 7900KV motor into. I think all gears on the rear differential are completely finished. Then I blew out one of its shocks.

So out for the count, and I know it takes some time to get things done right. Take your time. You will have at least 1 customer when its all done.

I am going to try and get a few of the GCM sets made buy this weekend. I am having trouble getting them made in a timely manner at a shop as they are so far out with work. So I am going to try and get as many done as I can before the weekend as I will be traveling for awhile starting next week.

Thanks for the patience
