I see dead gearbox-covers

Probably jinxed it with the spoiler in my last post.
I now noticed one side where the rear damper stay is mounted has a crack as well...



Edit - gearboxes are from this ol' car (for the most) :



What started it all...

And now, where is the MR body?
It looks very pretty, better than my dirt one.

To quote waterbok - got my work cut out...
Put a huge amount of effort in the MR shell (fiber glass, painting) but will do it all over again at some point :



Blazing Star - Terra Conqueror :



Dirt Thrasher :



TF (Evo) shell was sold with another buggy I built in the meantime :





This one's for sale (long DF-01 wheelbase) :

Have you enough TA01 to put Under all these new nibe bodies?
Me yes!!!

Nope, just one chassis that only the Hummer fits on. And sort of an FRP buggy in pieces.

Superglue will do. Maybe I'll solder it together another time (cracked not broken)...

You have maybe a client for your fully "carton"
I will be very gentle with it

It's contains the holy grail(s) of my DF-01 quest though.



But you have the shocks already.

particularly like the black hexes on the last picture

Wisdom of parts has even developed in that area since the first page... not shunning non-Tamiya brands anymore.

That is, if they have the good stuff (like the Axials). It does not apply to these (first alloy hexes I ever bought) :

Very nice. this type of aloy hex is very good when you loose a wheele. You don't loose the axle like me.
It is a project for the dirt. It is easy too to remove the wheeles. Often the plastic hex comes with the rim.
