So was looking in this old bag of parts I got in a trade a good 10-15 years back look what I came across.

Losi hydra drive


Now I guess I need to figure out a top shaft to see if I can make this thing work

Peroxide before and after wow what a change. I will be doing the rest of the parts for sure

Well got screwed on ebay really bad for the parts I needed but I'm back on track finally now got the stealth I needed ordered a few this rc carbon works and a set of b4.2 shocks off rctech so hope that comes in next week and I'll be back on track

Some parts showed today man I have to say these towers are sweet

Little more progress tonight. The shocks showed up today so hope to get those built this weekend and then a big batch of parts are due in Monday

Well looks like I ordered the wrong rear shock tower thought the short tower worked with b4 shocks but guess I need the taller tower. I'll try and get that sorted out after Xmas. Other than that things seem to be going pretty smooth.

Picked out some tires for the indoor carpet we'll see how I like them

Little more progress need the top shock mounts so may run to the lhs and see what I can find and I don't have any long enough blue screws for my shocks top or bottom

I would stick with steel for the shocks anyway. The aluminum is very fragile

Ok thanks for the heads up wasn't really thinking about that but makes sense.

Plus the rear towers look right.you mite need to add spacers to lower the ride height. I run the same rear towers with the same shocks and that what worked for me.dont remember if I had two or three of em.

Ok cool I didn't have the b4 kit specs so I put them together with no limiters the front looks right the back the rear seems to stand way up. I'll grab a pict of it later. Thanks for the help guys loads of flub building these things but man so many different little options make it confusing

Lol I was their where you are when I first came here but I had a little understanding from building other stuff.trying to make all the little parts play nice together is a pain at times and when it seem like ya want to give up you find it wasnt as big a deal as you first thought or you find it in a thread . because the best part is this combo has been done a million times so someone has been there or done that so the answer is there to solve your issue. If ya ever need a hand I will offer what I know.which aint much lol

Haha guess it was a bit to cold to try the peroxide treatment

Funny thing is my bath did that today. I go out ever so often to shake the parts up and I go out to see 4" worth of snow on the jar. So pulled it thinking it was worthless and yep...frozen. This weather is crazy...guess we're making up for the past couple of winters?

I really need to pick up the white truck mount. Looks so good on your build and I'm stuck with black ones.
