Did a little more work. I rebuilt the axle as I wanted high clearance links and to get the body a little more centered. I'm hoping it will hold up but due to how this gets run it probably won't. I plan on picking up an aluminum housing and using that as I'm sure it will be more durable as I can drill and tap the housing and I'm sure the screws are less likely to pull out.

Next up is bell crank stearing and inner fenders. Also I think I'm going to get an ascender rx box. I also am going to work on the interior more with some flat clear coat for the seats and start adding some scale items. Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk |

Yes total hybrid is the plan. The axle I changed because it helps with the torque twist the twin hammers is plagued by. It's pretty much gone now. I took it out for a good beat run and it works great. I did however manage to lose a drive shaft. Somebody forgot to locktite the set screws! Doh! Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk |
