No major epoxying done at all really, just a very small amount of dremeling.
Front wishbones are rear cat sx versions cut down, and some of the webbing removed. I had to dremel them slightly to fit in the space allowed at the front inner hinge pin, but that is it. B44 rear hubs used, and drilled out to 3mm for the hinge pin/screw, and B4 cvd axles used. This was to allow a wide range of driveshafts that could be used, but that is all.

I am hoping to get some of the new B4.1 hex drive axles to fit the front, to allow direct fitment of the wheels, as currently it it 2mm too wide with the ansmann stuff that is on there.

Carisma shocks of course, since schumacher dont make any that are quite long enough.

Tamiya wing mounts.....although the new cat sx3 ones could be made to fit with a slight part modification.
