With some parts from Mikea96, which included a template for the front shock mount, the front suspension got installed.

More progress, albeit small. Correct wheel and rim combo finally. I'm not going to cut the lip off. a) I'm not that brave, especially since it took a while to find them and b) I don't want to glue the tires down. Anyone have a set of Losi metal lock nuts for the Losi axles?

Need to find a local machine shop to get the motor plate done.

Then need to get painting the body.

Geez, it's bad when it takes a year to update a build thread. Anyway, some progress, got the motorplate back from the machinist. Installed the Hydradrive, and most recently got the proper black Kimbrough gear installed.

Image

Body is also painted up, with a few re-release stickers on it that match up with the '93 car. I've contacted MCI Racing about reproducing the others.

Image

Can anyone tell me what the sticker is that is above the Novak sticker on the left side?

It's a Yokomo sticker.

Looks good. I was working on mine tonight actually. I was kinda held up on it, needing money to get a black classic tub. But I decided to just use the kit tub. I'm doing more of a modern version of his car, and there would already be enough "wrong" wit it. What would it matter if it had the milled tub......

I don't know how accurate you're trying to be, but Brian used the Mirage SS body, not the turbo mirage.

F me.....I thought I had the right body, given the scoop. *}%{#]%}*!!!!!!! Breath deep....

So, which Mirage SS body has a scoop, and who sells them?

Yeah, they both came with and without the scoop. No one reproduces it, but one of our members made a mold of one. As far as I know, it's not ready to have bodies pulled from it yet. Needs the holes drilled in it and the window details cleaned up.

Yeah, that's the one. He used to sell the original version of the Mirage SS, but looks like he made a mold of the newer Proline Mirage and is selling them now. You can see the hump on the back for gear cover clearance. The original did not have that. But, It's only temporary for you.

I would not worry about the body as the turbo looks close enough. I mean, it is a rere in any case right? Your build looks great btw!
