gonna have to get a hitec 225mg servo. not enough room with 7 cells aid out like this for the vintage futaba. i will probably open up the new servo and soldier the futaba j connectors to the board for a more vintage look

waitn on some parts from Dadio, Pargu, and Spain so this is as far as its going till the parts arrive

[coxbros1]

clearer pic....those others kinda sucked and i couldnt edit them out

[Dadio]

That looks so nice , you do have the whole steering system upside down though the servo saver adjuster should be at the bottom where its really hard to get at instead of conveniently on the top

[coxbros1]

thanks homz! i didnt take pics of steering before i blew it apart....big mistake! i will correct the issue....but not right now. just poured a Beam and Sprite

Have you fitted the 7 cell battery hold-down that he sends with that chassis, might be a tight fit seeing that your using the Desert Dog rear shock mount/roll bar?

[coxbros1]

yes its gonna fit. i will have to make aluminum standoffs and drill and countersink two more holes in chassis tho

[coxbros1]

So stoked! every single part came in today to finish this build....Dadios parts (sprockets, servo saver, rear chassis brace) , Sanyo battery decals from Spain, front shock mounts from Pargu, Funko body from OLDRC.COM, and servo......STOKED!

except front bumper...not sure what to do there

[Dadio]

Nice !

That dogs a bit of a stunner ! Love the choice of tires , are they Scorpion rears all round ?

[coxbros1]

yup...
i just love how the tires look

[coxbros1]

Got the servo mounted, 2 bodies fitted(843B and Funco),
had to modify the chassis sides at an angle because they hung outside the body....this looks much better anyway.
The other pics had an associated shock on the front for length reasons. I lowered the front shock by lowering the mounting holes which are wider allowing the Delta shock on the front to match the rears. got a Parma bumper coming to try. gonna paint servo mounts black...just havent got around to it

[Dadio]

That's a nice tidy install , I never can manage that myself , mine always seem full of coloured spaghetti , do I spy a smattering of dirt on the wheels now , has it been out for a walk ?
