I not too thrilled at the $5.50 Standard shipping.

The smallest flat rate priority box is $4.95

by **true2dz** Tue 11 Jan 2011 - 1:32

55 cents difference aint that bad. In my twisted opinion is well worth it.

So axle cups and spur gear with slipper are on they're way.

by **Jam Racing_1** Mon 24 Jan 2011 - 18:42

Right on,

sounds like it is gonna be fun ......

by **Z400** Wed 2 Feb 2011 - 20:46

Been a few days.

We are officially moved though. I just got my desktop computer going a few minutes ago.

update on the truck, spur gear, slipper assembly and stub axles arrived.
I bought the run stub axles, these are the wide ones. Would work great but they did not come with the required spacers between the hex and the axle carrier. So im either going to look into making a set of spacers or buying the set i wanted.

by **admin** Sat 12 Feb 2011 - 15:08

Cant wait to see the the truck in action! Thanks for the update sean.

by **Z400** Sat 12 Feb 2011 - 15:32

Yeah Buddy

I bought the Axle parts i needed/wanted.
They should be here any day now.
I also bought a fuel tank and fuel tank mounts today for $12 shipped.

Need to pick up a set of 17mm hexes so i can mount up these wheels and tires.

Getting real close to buying radio equipment and an engine.

by **Z400** Thu 17 Feb 2011 - 15:36

Drive Shafts are in, so are the new stub axles.

Ive got my fuel tank on the way and a set of 8 shocks.

I agree ' and also the prime pump can cause air leaks too,thanx for the update.

by **Z400** Sat 19 Feb 2011 - 20:43

Well i removed the primer and sealed the hole off with a screw and an o-ring, im still not a fan though.

The tank doesnt leak, i pressure tested it in the sink.
Its good to go, but it will definitely be a spare.

Added the first hop ups this evening.
Installed a pair of HCR Hinge Pin braces on the rear.

by **Z400** Mon 21 Feb 2011 - 17:15

by **Z400** Sat 26 Feb 2011 - 16:29

i'll get some pictures up today.
Its getting closer and closer to being complete.

I didnt expect to be this far along in the build then i am. Aha oh well.

I traded a nut driver for 8 shocks and then i bought a parts package which included 2 adjustable shock towers, a polished JP1 pipe, a stock pipe, 2 of the plastic tvp braces i needed, another set of 8 shocks, a newer style fuel tank, an SF-1 servo and i think

thats it..

Ive got the shocks installed, im waiting on a package of the 42mm long screws to come in so i can mount the top portion of the shocks.
I got my plastic tvp brace in, mounted the stock pipe and mounted the newer style fuel tank.
