Stunning man.

I've ordered the 110 kit, couldn't help myself.

Prolly gonna be asking plenty of dumb questions.
 
So two nights worth of updates in one hit here

Masked off the open areas to stop the outside paint going in

Looking ace!

I picked up my kit at 09:00 yesterday, got the rolling chassis done last night.

Managed to put the rear axle on upsidedown!

And i bought a 1:10 Hi-Lift jack at about half the dollar of a 1:1 one!
 
I only noticed when i turned the main gear and the front and back wheel hubs turned in opposite directions!

Please post a detailed shot of the underside of the front axle, the servo arm and connection to the steering. The supplied steering servo of mine has a very crappy looking arm, and I'm not happy with the way it connects.

Thanks.
 
Shot man, may have to make up something.

Another dumb question - What if you don't fill the shocks with oil? Is there anything I can substitute for 'shock oil'?

I think they work without, veg oil seems a similar consistency but I think the silicon nature of the proper stuff is good for lubrication etc. Its cheap off ebay though, I used 30wt
 
fitted the grill and the radiator behind

Heres a shot with the old tyres, bit of articulation, oh and I think these are the first pics since I fitted the mudflaps

1469836_10153077692760730_251844815336203545_n.jpg


New tyres turned up, slightly smaller and tread pattern almost identical to my 1:1
