Quick update. Chassis machining not finished due to the machine is being moved. Gearbox housing have been modified by removing the attachment points for truck body mount. All hardware is being cleaned right now. I have collected everything I need besides the original "short" ball cups. 20...

Ok installed new chassis and bulkhead and changed out some hardware and installed new Jammin racing rear tires.

Installed new proline 2.1 ribbed front tires. I'm not a big fan of the stagger rib front tires.
