FT - Rear end begins. HG silver mounts and hubs.

FT - Slider status. Electronics up next.

I think the two look nice together. Bodies coming soon. Then just a quick 5 or 10 year wait until they get painted.

Thanks buddy! I actually just got this nice blue aluminum battery brace for the FT today. I think it fits in well.

WOIN - I found an alloy front bulkhead and chassis brace. The bulkhead was a faded looking blue, which wouldn't match any other blue bits. So, I decided to strip and polish it along with the clear chassis brace.

Installed. I drilled and tapped the 2 holes for the front sway bar mount. It sort of matches my XX now.

Thing of beauty

WOIN - I changed out the stock rear hubs for aluminum Racers Edge B4 hubs. This required B4 MIP CVDs as well. I had to tap the hubs to suite the M3 threads of the 4.8 ballstuds I'm using. The hinge pin diameter of the hubs was too small and needed drilling out.

These aftermarket hubs use a larger outer bearing in an odd 3/16 x 1/2". That was a surprise.

I also added an aftermarket B6.3+ servo brace, which really holds the servo securely.

I just need to get the body painted and mount up wheels.

Amazing work! the attention to detail and selection of parts is spot on!

Your builds really are next level!
Awesome once again

Hey @Lavigna - I know this is an old thread but I have questions!

What did you use for these items:

Rear Shock Tower
Battery Hold Down
Ball Ends / Turnbuckles
Did you use the MST ball nuts on front AND rear inside link spots?
