Hello All,

Tower arrived in the post today, it looks mighty fine!

I've got it on the car but it's not quite there yet. The upper arm ball joints are on and fine (I used a Tamiya 9804206 in the end, the longer of the two "nut" ball studs. These went on directly with no spacers or anything. The others that I thought I was going to use in my earlier post will will work but will need spacing out a bit).

The shocks are nearly there, but I don't have any long enough M3 screws in the bits box. I have got a 20mm screw on at the moment with 8mm of spacers and there isn't enough thread left to put a nut on securely. I have ordered some 25 and 30 mm M3 screws from Model Fixings and they should do the job nicely. The shocks are laid back at a bit on an angle so I'll have a play with a couple of washers too when the longer screws arrive.

The TRF shocks I have are in the top holes, without any internal limiters and the droop is spot on

All is looking good.

Photos attached of it on the car (please ignore the Dirt Hawg tyres - been thrashing it around in the street and am saving my mini spikes!)
