Thanks, and no worries about the instructions, I have a pic of the Houge instructions that someone posted in another thread, it has the Photobucket banner across it but still readable.

While in the service, in line for chow one morning, I heard the DS say to a private, "Goddang son, you polish those with a brick? I can just hear those boots crying out: kiwi, kiwi!" Those were the days, and I'm glad it turned out for you. Great story, but did the DS really say "Godd...

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions, much appreciated! Taking into consideration some of the suggestions, I changed the shocks around today- again. Went back to the correct springs, added a spacer to the bottom mount and moved the top back to the front of the tower. I do need to find a di...

Making progress on this project, the dirty work is done. Replaced some pieces with shiny new ones, the rest were cleaned, polished and/or given a fresh dye bath. I also did the shoe polish trick on the chassis and while it didn't hide all the blemishes it sure helped a ton. I've been fighting with t...

OMG! Was that convenient or what? Thank you JC for posting the link, does this mean I owe you now? And I was just scouring the Bay last night with no success, I really didn't think I would find just the arms. I did the BIN, couldn't care less about the additional $10. Now let the fun begin! That Rob...

This chassis has a number of added holes drilled by me, the ones for the a-arm mounts, the ones for the Stealth tranny, and also notice in the very back there are some extra holes. These were for an adjustable rear toe assembly that I first used with the a-arms. Can't remember who made it, but it al...

Hi all, I found this site a little while back, I've been sitting quietly browsing and reading through a lot of threads. There's so much good info here and so far I like the vibe. Thank you all who contribute! I'm another one of those guys who got into RC racing many years ago, did it for a good whil...
