New corners for the car, 12 deg alloy caster blocks and 0.5 Deg read hubs with fluorine coated ball studs, cheers to Insideline Racing for the parts

xfactor · #5 17-02-2014

Looking good Mark, you need a white RW spur on that. Come on think about it..............

MHeadling · #6 17-02-2014

Cheers guys, one more pic for you.....

Genuine Tamiya alloy steering rack

Yes a white rw spur is a good call, iv got one somewhere... If not I know some one who can help!

MHeadling · #9 18-02-2014

A little bit of progress

New grey ball cups and losi 22 turnbuckles

MHeadling · #10 20-02-2014

More progress, battery cradles in, servo mounts, aerial mount.

New Rear drive shafts turned up from Stella models

MHeadling · #11 20-02-2014

Nearly there now!

Went for yokomo BB shocks with AE pistons and good shock shafts

Just waiting for k parts to turn up and my roll bar set and it'll be nearly ready for action!

Is that an alloy chassis Mark?

You thought about getting alloy top plates made and powder coated? Mmmmmmmmm

MHeadling · #13 20-02-2014

Hi Griff, yes it's an alloy chassis, came with a car I bought a while back, interested to see how it handles with this on.

Yes alloy top decks would be nice, or maybe hydro dip the kit carbon ones?

Shifta · #14 21-02-2014

Looks great!
I have a new pair of blue alloy servo mounts if you're interested?

GRIFF55 · #15 22-02-2014

Would yoke white ball cups fit? Be nice

xfactor · #16 22-02-2014

No ball size is different, I fitted white yokomo ends on my tamiya gen3 in show us your vega, you will need to change ballstuds to yokomo but well worth it............. white spur Mark come on...........

MHeadling · #17 23-02-2014

Cheers for the suggestion Griff, shame the yokomo ones won't fit, as I've spent a fortune in flurocarbide balls (oooeeerrrr!) I'll run the tamiya ball cups.

Got a RW white fitted Xfactor, just to make you happy!

I'll post up a pic later, it's nearly done

xfactor · #18 23-02-2014

Now we talking white spur.........

SiR_Dave · #19 23-02-2014

Can't wait to see it all done up

MHeadling · #20 23-02-2014

White spur as promised!

The crush and driveshaft spacers turned up from Vellrip , only took a week from Singapore

Fitted proper 511 turnbuckles as the 22 ones a touch too long, servo, lipo ane motor in as you can see.

Esc up next then time to go racing!
