I picked up this Maxxum FF which arrived on Friday, Just in time for the weekend 😁 As you can see the previous owner decided to paint the parts with Yellow and white spray paint 😶 I'm not even upset, It meant that I could afford it and be okay with running it hahaha. I have a mint shelf queen so I was able to use the top plate as a guide to have a custom new one made for this runner

Thanks 😁 I was able to media blast them with a fine media which didn't chew the material, It's not factory smooth but perfect for this. I wish Tamiya used this material, Their parts wouldn't break as often hahaha.

Great progress tonight, Rebuilt the gearbox with full bearings and drive cups. I had ordered some 32p hardened pinions for other projects but they came with a 5mm bore so no good for that, Turns out the 19t is a perfect replacement for the stock alloy one in this gearbox 😁 Polished the balls for the rear arms and straightened out the motor/gear plate before polishing the face, After giving the chassis plate a good clean I fitted a custom protector. Lastly the custom carbon upper deck arrived from Bezerk RC so she's starting to look like something 😁 Noticing some issues with the front hubs but will find a fix

Made a small but import piece tonight, It didn't come with the steering connecting rod but regardless I needed to make one. I'm running a 2s Shorty which is 3mm thicker than the old packs so I had to install the servo with the spline at the rear instead of the original front orientation for clearance, Finished it off with some cold bluing 😊 I also installed some gromets in the upper deck to isolate the battery connectors from the carbon and stop the battery from moving side to side 😁
