So I finally started the build last weekend (with wife's permission of course!)

Photocopy of manual. Having rebuilt a lot of cars I found this manual to be rather cumbersome and unnessarily wordy. More instructive diagrams would have helped.

Constructing rear diff. This was lubed with copious amounts of grease!

Fast forward...most of the build is complete now. I had Pargu wheels that I reanodised in a matching gold. Front tyres are hot laps and rears are Schumacher. The knock offs are from Rogue Elements.
The electrics included a reedy mr K, Novak T4 tempfet, ko propo fm receiver and a futaba servo.

New shell ready and some decals to choose from. Didn't go mental with the decals on the shell. I wanted to keep the minimalist look!

All done! I'm happy with this build. The aggressive look really appeals to me...I will tidy the electrics at some point.
