Ohh, crap! I'm out off the diff. rebuild kits (#9351). Serious goof, I'd bought everything else needed. Good old Ebay to the rescue!

Time to build the transmission. I have Avid bearings, with the exception of the 3/8 x 5/8 witch are from AE, #9601 top shaft with #6570 Idler Gear. I think I'm going to sand the diff rings before assembling.

Really nice!!!

Looks great so far Nomad. Be careful of that dye as it can sometimes stain adjacent parts. I will often make packing tape gaskets to prevent dyed parts from staining other nylon, G10, or anno'd parts. Whatever that dye touches, it will be stained forever. Thanks for the tip, Doug. I've always rinse...

I installed the Factory Works rear arm mount, dyed bulk head, and DHAWK aluminum rear arm mounts. I was out of black 8-32 screws so used red ones for now. Trans. is ready to be assembled as soon as I machine some spacers for it!

Ahh, yes! very nice buggy!

Dyed the rear bulkhead and the trans cases with rit dyemore graphite this morning, came out nice.

Wow looks great man, I have a gold anodized servo arm that matches the gold on the servo any interest ill send it to you. also would you happen to have a part number for the GT axle from lunsford? Jake The part number for the Titanium wide front axles are LNS7048. They are on the Lunsford web site ...

Oh yea, classic example!

Personally, I'd go with option #1.

Sweet ride, nostalgic for sure!

I have the Ti Nitride ball studs now, along with Lunsford Titanium Wide Front Axles (RC10GT). Next, bust out the RIT Dyemore Graphite and dye the rear bulkhead and the Stealth transmission cases.

RIP, Dirtinator. You have made a huge impact on the hobby.

I'll agree with that, bunch of bodies to paint!

Looks very nice, Jeff.
