In deed. Facebook is a domain of evil. I'd much rather go to ebay heaven.

Wait, .. I'm already there! Got it, and built it yesterday.

I love it too. The hard-body is very cool, I hope to be able to use this body for other chassis as well. The PC-body isn't as detailed, but it's a pick-up body and I love pickups.

Today I was out driving it for the first time, and it is really interesting to drive. The suspension is ofcourse way too stiff so I will need to soften it up a bit with other springs/dampers at the rear.

The front I guess I cannot do alot about. I've seen the shock-mods people have made, but it looks weird and unstable. So I've been looking, testing and thinking.. and what could be done is to cut off a piece of each front spring to make them shorter, thus softer *and* able to compress deeper into their chamber.

Another idea would be to modify both parts "H2", brushing off one or two millimeters of material where it contacts part "B6" and the springs, this would make the suspension softer too. Which it inevitably will eventually as it wears by itself.

The Silver HSII arrived today B) Feeling very lucky :)

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)

So the Bruiser arrived today :) The chassis is a bit rougher than expected and there seems to be an issue with both axles/diffs? nothing we cant fix though ;) The body is as expected if not better :P There is the usual gravel rash and the only damaged bit is the left front wheel arch plus it's missing the grill :S It has the original interior which I didn't know was there until I got it :laugh: Started media blasting the body straight away as I cant stand that purple :laugh: :laugh:

:) Nice interior Andy. But you have a lot of work on the body. And for the gearbox, it's maybe only a tuning matter?
