Thanks, haha!
Well.. i would need to ask someone to try this, with any car i drove, i’ve never came across the finish line first (or second, or third..)..

But, really kind words!

Finally the needed parts arrived for the rebuild of the diff. It not needed much, but want to have it correct, and solid. On the picture with the diff parts, you see the thrust bearing is gone. So... Placed a NOS thrust bearing. Als the Thrust spring is a close-to new one. Placed a new Rulon clutch ...

Today finally the postman arrived with the new designed rear shocktower! So, mounted it, and finished almost the whole rear end. Together with the carbon milled washer plate, the whole rear bulkhead, and carbon shock tower is realy solid. Pretty happy about how it came out, plus the way it looks. Th...

Right... this is something i always wanted back in the day... Double bearings in the front hubs!! I used all standard Schumacher parts for this piece of long thinking-engineering... haha. Not sure how it will work when racing, but i like the feel how it came out. 10mm alloy castle axles 2 bearings S...

Rebuild the Vari-shocks.

The shocks have been re-anodized, so that all aluminum parts on the build have the same color.
Used the Muzzoom Models Motorsport teflon pistons (2 holes).
All new seals, and new shock shafts.

Added most of the NIB suspension parts.
Still need to tweak some things, but close-as for now.
Also you have a sneak preview of the paintsceme on the nosecone...

(Rear shock tower did not arrived today with post.. #waitingforparts)

4mm carbon, and fully adjusted so it will fit the original (U322) front plate too.

Getting the transmission on, building the rear shock tower and placed them on the chassis.

Created an easy way to adjust toe inn-out and Antisquad.
Using all original Schumacher parts for suspension.

New designed ballrace steering system.
8 bearings inside, original steering posts, carbon Ackerman.

Carbon fiber parts and 3D printed parts all together.
