Notorious Lockdown build

[Woodentop]

Thought I'd share some pics of what I've been working on.

Roll hoop will be gone,servo and mount will change, have a savox 1230 I can utilise, although it's not waterproof its has enough torque, just waiting for extended height servo mount.
Shocks done, Nero HD ends, tekno balls, deanodized and polished everything, probably wont do it again ?
Waiting on absolutely everything here in the UK, not complaining in the least, after all were in the middle of a pandemic and theres more important things going on, have other go to bashers, stock alerts are set everywhere they are needed ?

Had to fettle the rear of the rpm arms on the inners to stop binding too ?
Hopefully be ok when then the m2c hinge pin kits turn up.

What did you use to remove the RED..??

 

[Woodentop]

I clean ovens on the side so I used "oven gloop" its caustic so it just tears it off, just have to stand over it as it works fast and fetch out before it starts to blacken.

Bumper and skid "borrowed" from the kraton, not sure on the bumper???. Does anybody know if the pos wingmount will work with the m2c tower support brace?

Cvds ready for the rear once shims come in and hubs ready for polishing.

2 things
1:more aluminium
2: more painted aluminum

The heart of the beast has arrived!!

A couple of other bits to keep me busy, m2c standoffs so I can finally mount the shocks, and some t nuts for the obligatory battery tray mod.

Huge thanks @BashingBrian ??????

 

[Woodentop]

Jbi tall servo mount in, had to put a slight bevel on it as it was clashing with the wires. Tee nut mod done and cushioned the battery tray, rear mount in, connectors soldered on and the pos stuff came in this morning.
Nearly there now, save for the hinge pin kits next.

Would it have not been easier to just move the ESC towards the rear a little..??

If I'm being honest it was a pita, no clearance and motor wire length for mounting it sideways. I'd sneaked it back as far as I could without losing the mounting hole nearest the motor which I didnt want to do, a std size mount fits ok but I wanted to put my 1230 in there, I'll see how it goes i may have to change it later on.

Didnt want to start a new thread but it finally turned up, so happy, have a box full of parts to finish the noto build too, waiting on upper hinge pin hanger to be back in stock from @Badtouch The basher to finish that build, looks like I'll be a busy boy over the xmas holidays.

 

[Woodentop]

Almost finished now, this was my first proper build and I'm really pleased how its turned out, thanks to the guys that have helped, just waiting on upper pin hanger to be back in stock.

The pos front bumper and wing mount are not compatible with m2c towers.

I had to do some dremeling to the wing mount and I've lost one of the mounting holes. I cant use the rear brace mount with it because the mount is double skinned.

The front bumper block clashes with the nuts on the front of the m2c hinge pin kit so I opened out the holes until it would seat flush. Anyways here are some pics,

Onto this one now:

Once that's done have this to build, gonna go mojavified truck with this, arm kit and driveshaft kit on order from jrc, senton ti towers on route from scorched goin mostly ti on this one.

A friend of mine has used a rubberised sealant called formoa on his body so I thought I'd give it a try, not sure about the results, I've actually stood on it and it just spreads out and pops back up ?‍
Downside is its heavy, compared to my noto shell....

real heavy
