Slow and steady, stripped and cleaned and lots of new parts. Andy's arms on the front and shocks found from a nip kit, ready now to start installing the Jconcepts steering bell cranks and tray for the shorty lipo.

Still looking out for a UM-27 turbo chassis and UM-16 roll cage.

What wheels/tires are you using? These look very well in proportion to the rest of the car.

Thank you.

I'm using Jconcepts Rulux wheels for the Traxxass e revo on the rear and Tamiya Sand viper on the front. Both are 2.2 wheels so will accommodate modern tyres. The rear wheels go straight on but the fronts need a special Kyosho to Tamiya fitment axle from CRP. I got mine from eBay. They come in standard or +5ml wider.

Something like this hopefully!

Just waiting for a Turbo chassis and a home made top deck
