purely speculating on that..................... :wink:
good point, didn't think of that. still, the tranny is a tuff modd!

I had some really good results with the resto of rear wheels: I removed all scuffs and polished them.
I have to do the same with front wheels.(I try to use as few new parts as possible).

Stealth tranny, universals, TRX-1 rear shocks (same overall lenght as 1.32 but shorter bodies and they are pressurized : no bubbles noise ).

Well, I have cutted a chinese Viper body...not an easy fit :lol:
But when it's done, you don't need any front body post: the front shock tower hold the body on.
