I copied the text and changed the pics to medium size from the host (PB)

Also removed the thumbsup icons.

I post text and after edit the message and add the picts to avoid to lose all.

My order of my bearings sadly got mixed up with other packages, so there will be a delay of my package.
But the shop rang me as soon as they got aware of the problem.
My package is allready on the way to me.
I need to post the package I received tomorrow.

The shop owner was very sorry for the mess, but he was great to speak to.
We need to give credit when it's due when someone do great service, usually we only hear the bad things.

I will not hessitate to order from them again in the future.

My bearings came in the post today.
I thought the 850 bearrings came in pack of 5, but I must have hastely read the description and assumed the 5x was the amount..
Well, well. Luckly I had a couple of those in my parts bin.

First I mounted the upper gears in the rear gearbox.

Next was the rear diff.
I skipped installing my Manta Ray balldiff, and just used the normal gear one as the big tires might be a bit too big for the balldiff to cope.

Did the same for the front gearbox and all gears are greased as well so hopefully I don't need to open it up for a while.
Propeller shaft is about 3mm too long to fit so it need to taken apart. The e-clips pushed the shaft a tad more out of the gearbox so it less space for the propeller shaft length.
Only missing now from the running gear to make it complete is to fit pinion and to fit driveshafts.
I do not have the correct length ones, but I do have these 6x83mm ones I can modify.
The ball is perfect for the Tamiya drive cup since these has 6mm ball.
Problem the pins on the driveshaft is slightly too big to go into the drive cup. So I either need to sand the pins down, or make the slot in the drive cups a tad bigger.
The latter one may make the driveshafts to wobble if I don't make the slot equal. I think I will try to make the slot bigger with a 2mm cutting disc on angle grinder.

Slowly but surely this is getting closer to be done.

I think I need to buy a new camera as the pictures really suck as they never seem to be sharp enough, kind of bluring especially on white things.
Pictures are taken with my phone.
I might test with my previous photocamera.
