I did not have time to finish the car before Montluçon last week, but the target is to have the car running next week-end, in Belley...
First, I did some work yesterday on the bodyshell... Resin printed parts look like original ones...
I put the key stickers there... It is difficult to get them right. I'm sure I'll be able to get it even nicer next time I do a 44B bodyshell...
I've fixed all accessories. Mirrors are set to be temporary and removed when running. And I also add one sponsor sticker on the car. It's not properly vintage, but it is all about vintage, so I profit to make a bit of advertisement for the excellent rc-paper.com website

(I do not have any compensation of any sort, and I even paid for the stickers)...
I then put the bodyshell on the other chassis to see what it will look like. I'm not sure if I add anything or not... Time will tell.
Back on the chassis. I replaced a few parts as I did a mistake : front gearbox parts were printed to work with 3mm shafts for suspension arms. I reprinted them with the standard 2.5mm shafts. I also rework the c-hubs, as I discover that I made a mistake when modelling them, and it was corrected quickly. The front end as no slop anymore, just like the rear.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, this car will run Kyosho red shocks (optima re-release). Setup I used was quite simple as all needed parts are on the shocks clusters :
- front - 2mm removed to the range by using a a 2mm ring outside the shock chamber
- rear - 6 mm removed to the length by using a 6mm thick ring inside the shock chamber
I just printed some collars with included pivot balls (I did not have metal one anymore so that was probably simpler

. I could have gone red, but I decided to go black.
Shocks are now in place. The rear shock tower is positionned like it is on a Zerda to give more rooms around the shocks for the arms.
Here is the current progress
Remains to do before we can call it done :
- put the steering in place, as well as the rx and esc
- add a driver figure (thinking about a Samurai driver as it seems to be the right scale - but I may cut a Super Wheelie driver as well)
- print a bumper and install bumper and winch
