Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks

Thanks. Thank you for pointing it out. That old Bolink stuff is hard come by these days.

Thanks, it's been a while since I actually built anything. Seems most stuff these days is RTR. I did enjoy it though.

And it's finished. Stance is great. Lights work. Happy Happy.

Paint is on. Just going to tint the windows. Not bad!

Getting the stance right.

It's a runner. Off to paint now.

I couldn't get the length I needed. I have a machining background so it wasn't horrible. Kinda felt good to do that again. Gives it that "custom homebuilt" feel! 😆

Chassis braces are cut, drilled and 4-40 tapped. These will replace the plastic pieces the kit came with. Once chassis halves are apart I'll install battery tray and reassemble. Then the daunting task of painting the body. There's no second chance on the body.

Steering locked in, receiver is mounted. Now need a battery tray.

Steering servo mounted. Radio tray is next. Progress is showing. Started cutting the aluminum stand offs/chassis supports.

Mocked up an aluminum servo mount. Still thinking about replacing the plastic pieces that tie the chassis plates together although it will be a bit of work. I will need to cut the aluminum standoff to length, then drill and tap one end with a 4/40 thread. It would look sharp though.

Lol, I did the dame thing. Found a couple single color and chrome that looked sharp.

Ordered aluminum stand-off's to replace the cheap plastic one's that tie the chassis together, I think it will add a custom touch. Aluminum servo mounts in blue are coming in. Planning the paint is becoming the most stressful part. One color with chrome trim, fade two-tone with chrome. Flat patina?

Electrics going in.

It's pretty sharp.

And it's a roller! Pretty basic build, nothing too high tech. Rigid rear and kingpin front suspension. Next is electrical and steering links .
