Front and rear with TecnaCraft pins and links, along with the Jammin' Steering Enhancement kit with two-hole tower and LXT-style carriers.

Almost done!!!

Transmission is installed. Now it's time to start threading tie rod ends... my least favorite part of every build.

But, the tie rods and pins are all TecnaCraft ti eye candy!

Assembled and added the HydraDrive. I don't have the HydraDrive silver spring, so it'll have to live with the standard friction slipper gold spring. Man, this thing is heavy! Definitely NOT low rotating mass. I thought the Dyna Storm Multi Dusk Clutch was heavy, but I think the HydraDrive might have...

Sweet!!! Tell him to grab some bearings and any other goodies he might want, and have a blast! It was a fun build!

Another set of early gold hard bodies? Did I miss a train somewhere? Sooo d@mm cool.

LRM, minus slipper.

Back at it tonight... time for a LRM diff.

Thanks! They're a classic!!!

Has anyone received a white pair? Are they shiny glossy white, or dull molded white?

Has anyone dyed a pair of whites with black dye? Do they take dye well?

Bummer if he's intentionally trying to pass bogus motors as 'original vintage'. But, the sticker appears to have some minor wear. Maybe someone just tinkered with it at some point? No matter what that one is, it looks pretty awesome! Looks like the starting point for a JRX-something vintage resto-mo...

...and finally, cousins!

Also got the body painted and stickered-up. Man the TF decals are huge and a PIA to get straight, symmetrical, and bubble-free. But, turned out good! I love it!

I originally hoped to find an Acto or Tamiya pink can motor, but they're silly expensive!!!

I had a stock Peak Performance pink can that fits the bill perfectly!

When I mounted the rear tires, they turned grey from the mold wax. They were completely black in the box. Strange that it didn't also happen to the fronts too.

I'll trying giving them a good scrub in soapy water.
