Welcome on board sir! Look forward to seeing your build(s)!

And another small step forward…at least for now (ps getting those red o-rings to stay in place while screwing the tank back in was a thing of nightmares)

Cleaned up the parts I was going to use, the rest went to the storage bin. Exhaust mount done (waste not want not)

Finally finished tearing it down, screws just caked with cement like dirt; ended up tossing the majority of them (worn, rusty, they were beyond saving).

Sometimes in order to take a step forward, one has to buy what is left of one to scrounge parts. Bought this for the tank, exhaust mount and motor mounts woohoo!

Hey thank you for the link, good excuse to try out AliExpress for the first time :) Ah yes, one of the nicest machined pieces I have ever purchased, our friends in Thailand (RC Plus /thai-town). Here is a link to it on the bay but I think they are also active on Facebook and it might be cheaper ther...

It’s a border and a 39 hour drive for me but if I wasn’t married I might consider it just to meet some members in person, which would be super cool in itself.

Welcome ‘back’ to the hobby! Looking forward to checking our your builds/restorations, plenty of knowledgeable people here (but I am not one of them )

With the new rear diff housing it became apparent that I no longer needed the spacers that I built to raise the height of the rear shock tower so it would clear the rear diff cap…..hopefully that made some sort of sense, pictures explain better….

Wonderful thank you Alex B, just ordered some bearings and hit JC Racing and ordered the necessary drive shafts. A little pricey but beats purchasing OEM off the bay.

Quick questions for the viewers ;) - anyone know what belts actually fit the 93wcs? I assume 94-97 but wanted to check (I have ordered the wrong ones previously) - any idea size are the front and rear hub bearing sizes? I only need 8 and wanted to avoid buying a full bearing kit - going to going wit...

More of a night of test fitting things but made some progress nonetheless, front and rear turnbuckle setups complete, top deck partially mounted, front diff upper assembly mounted (had to drill them out a bit using a 1/8 drill bit for the upper arm assemblies that the hinge pins would slot into (the...

Another one just popped up on evilbay, at a much better starting point just in case you were still looking for parts? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/235514340360?itmmeta=01HV2JC1PPFGBQVWAVJ83RN0A1&hash=item36d5bfa408:g:vsQAAOSwrpxmFcnB&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4G1MnNygm0s6utffzdEtWwho5gcTTSknMkhwUTWYsw...

Just a quick one cleaning up the front shocks (replacing the gold pistons with standard steel), replacing front springs and shifting the blues to the back, just to get a little closer to the box art version etc. but this will never be a box art, more of a tribute lol finishing up the steering,as well.

Let’s see if we can save some of these rusty turnbuckles.
