Great looking car, colors, wheels, awesome

Ready to fit the body and electronics now, Not sure to fit older radio or newer stuff? see how it all goes together. My gear is not quite right age, Novak stuff is too old (T4, NER-2X) and Futaba stuff too new (MC810) I do have an LRP 13 Turn which i think is period correct but will be way too fast ...

Looking great mate, I hunted for ages for a duralinium(?) Turbo chassis, then they do a rere.Clean build, any thoughts on electronics yet?

Finished off a cheap and cheerfully rocky restoration I got most of this car and a few raider bits with a lazer a while back Threw it under the bench, but decided to clean it up. I filled some holes with glass sheet, fabricated a kydex battery retainer for shorty lipos using servo posts and factory ...

When I was a student my friends and I used to fill up McDonalds cups with silicone and expandit foam and glue them to the roof of the car, people thought we had forgot to put them in the car,
Till we passed them on the freeway

I guess after buying enough cars you occasionally get a clanger.
Initially I thought "wow" alloy arms, nup.
Just painted over original arms that were more missing than there.

The drive train felt like it was gravel inside it, missing shocks and driveshafts, actually one of the cvds had been soldered back together and painted over.

The nice mixture of imperial and metric hardware, with a sprinkling of wood screws.
I particularly liked the hand carved front shock tower. And of the 6 or so bearings that were not upgraded to bushings most were siezed.

Put it at the back of the cupboard but then JC Racing started stocking Lazer ZXR arm sets, and I found some NOS top plates that I never used. And some used towers from a previous zx I replaced with Fibrelyte items
So off we go again....

Found "tough racing" from Korea do a replacement belt set, so got one at the same time for my Triumph. And then some flanged bearings for the steering, and a local guy gave me a set of ZX6 titanium turnbuckles which are very close, if you don't have those offset links (which I don't,) and ...

Chassis was a bit rough , but cleaned it up as best I could,cut a new servo mount plate from g10 as there was none, new alloy servo mounts, servo arm and new hardware being fitted slowly, Shocks NOS from a hobby king closeout bin. And slowly started piecing it all back together, managed to get COVID...

Can someone please advise me around these diffentials?
I'm just going to run it stock, so very low power?
I was planning on basically locking up the front very tight, but any advice welcome.
My other lazer ZX came with a solid nylon layshaft and gear diffs.
