I have finally started building a Hot Bodies Ve8 brushless buggy for next race season.
The kit with other parts being used on this build.
Some lightened option parts I will be using. Still waiting on the front aluminum hub carriers.
Some chassis shots after the battery straps and other misc. parts are installed.
Checking to see how the brick fits.
Steering servo saver assembly built and installed.
Front diff built.
At this point I realized I needed the aluminum front hubs to continue. They are on back order and should be in my hands in a couple of weeks. I am going to lay this project aside and work on my truggy brushless conversion which will be in another thread.
Some items of note regarding this kit....
All the baggies are labeled with the step number which corresponds with the instructions. The baggie contains everything to complete the step including the nuts and screws. This makes it a lot easier than bag hopping or sorting through a pile of nuts and screws. Great job Hot Bodies.
All the drive shafts come pre-built. Every kit I have built so far make you build them. Not this time. Yes the grub screws are put together with thread lock at the factory. I can see the blue.
More to follow....
