what's that saying, something about a pot and a kettle?

I'll have you know I've been in the r/c dundeon working almost all day. Except for when I cranked the amp up to 11 and jammed for an hour.

Right now I'm doing what I despise most. Trimming a buggy body.

Lol, Scr8p has been scrap'n lately,

came close to scrap'n a new mirage ss body.

still usable.... thankfully.

I hate cutting out the rear shock tower part!

Someone on here has a vinyl cutter... It would be awesome to make some templates for that. Apply the vinyl and cut to it! Then remove the decal.

I hope that wasn't Risky Business style,

nah... it was more metal, rockabilly style.

Alright, so we have a new Dog and I had to stay home today because the house cleaners are coming and we don't want to surprise them with the possibility of a new dog running out the door when they get here, LOL... (We have 5 dogs)

Anyway, this gave me a small oppurtunity to sit down again and do some work to this build. Poor me,

So we are going to move to the front of the car now and start building it up. So as a reminder, I want to get as close to a B4.2 as possible. This includes making the wheelbase longer. Here you will see how I am working towards that goal.

Again, going with Jakes arms for the build. This is a pic of them and again, took all these pics with my IPhone so the quality is a little lacking:


I got the kick plate on ebay a few years ago intending to use it on another project and that never happened, so I have enlisted its services to this build. I think its made by GPM and the Bumper is a GT Bumper:


Going to use an RC10T steering setup for this build because I intend to mount the front end in the RC10T type of configuration so that I can get the wheelbase closer to the B4.2:


This is the Bulkhead, shock tower and tubes for the build. The shock tower is made by Fibre-Lyte, the tubes are GT as well as the bulkhead:


Once again and just like the back of the car, got some Big Bores for the project. These are T4.2/Sc10.2 Front Big Bores:


And here is the near completed front end of the car assembled:


And finally, attached to the front of the chassis:

You need the Sanwa 96-- low profile servo (in blue trim) for that monster!!!

Wow this build is looking awesome! Can't wait to see it finished.

Woo, so pretty. Reminds me of a WOIN car I sold one year.
