Default Phat Bodies Chunk Build

Hello all,

This is an old one I have always wanted to build, here are a few pics of what I have. I will also need some help to finish it off.


Have:
x6 gearbox and phatbodies motor mount
EMB shocks
TC5 rear control arms
Schumacher KF2 C hubs, hub carrier, and axle
CVD's but unsure of what stub to get, I ordered a TC3 stub, but I think it should have been B4?

What else do I need?
What wing mounts do you use?
What are these front arms from?
What are the rear hingepin holders? They look custom, and do I need custom rear pins for the TC5 arms? The B4 pins do not fit.
How do you mount the gearbox? I haven't seen pictures of that spot.

On order is the gearbox parts, its hard to find one so I might as well buy the parts individually for the price id pay for a used one.

Thanks in advance for any help. I love these minis as they are so much fun to drive and look forward to finishing off this kit.

I have been making some progress. Having some problems getting the rear diff mounted properly and also trying to sort the camber links from hitting the inside of the front wheels on turn.

Does anyone know what wing mounts are used? Also what are the rear hinge pin holders from? And the front A modified a arms?

Mostly just need electronics for it.

Not sure if this will work, but google drive doc shows the build thread from the old UKMicro forum which has most of the pics still intact:

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I needed!!! If you have any other links that would be awesome.

I didn’t see in there what the rear hinge pin mounts are from.
