That's cool, thanks. This one came from the trash pile though and I don't really need another for building.
It just came in handy to check first and lower the chances of messing up a good one.

It comes to you tomorrow

The other half of this thread (the FRP buggy) is looking good too. I've only been working on it for a few years, so...

cant see the J parts, oh wait they are here

I'm sure they're in there though... should be pretty much complete.
But your J parts, willingness on eddrick's side to make two short chassis mounts and an e-mail to fibre-lyte and...
Okay, a bit of self control now.

My dirt thrasher would love be wear with a FRP set especially with its small brushless

Got a new mod in mind... something to make the chassis more rigid. A connection rod between the gearboxes.
Found the exact spot where it would work on the front by just drilling a broken one (from the bottom) :

That'll make a straight line to the hole where the MSC mount used to be...

Phase 1 completed on the Hummer :

Rear mounting point - 3x15mm titanium screw, blue lock nut, ball pivot and ball nut :



Rod has not been threaded yet but it's nicely parallel at least...
It could use some hollow carbon to look right as well :



Tower stabiliser has been adapted in length and moved to the middle to create a continuous line :



The angle of the adjuster is on the edge of what it can take but it won't flip off easily...

I see dead gearbox-covers

Finally got the shocks fitted again too. I'm now using 70mm (instead of 60mm), with two O-rings on the piston shaft.
This makes them a few millimeter shorter...
Additionally, I've mounted them on the most outer screw hole in the suspension arms.
They have enough length for that - and for off road a bit of an angle on the shocks (less vertical) is quite a good thing.

Can't believe I've been fiddling around for days, trying to optimise the flow inside the dampers.
Then I thought it was the shock caps I switched with the shorter model...
Stingray even send the dampers back from France so I could put the correct ones back on.
But in the end I think it simply came down to me screwing on the caps too tight...
The thread inside is a lot longer than is necessary to tighten the oil seal.
So against my nature, I just stopped this time around whenever I could feel the seal had enough pressure.
Works like a charm now.
