Nearly got the rear suspension mounts sorted with it,it'll be an all alloy affair.
Next is to make a brace that runs from the front gearbox mount to the top of the aft battery holder.
On the tyres and set up front,I found a new pair of Proline ribs on the Bay
and got 'em for under a fiver,result.
I also found a new pair of Losi IFMAR Silvers up in the loft that I'd forgotten I had.
They're pretty soft and grippy with the tread pattern closely resembling
Proline Hot Shots.
The Kyosho front shocks have had the pistons changed for smaller hole jobs
(some I had left over from owning the Optima years ago)and been re-filled,
but the Traxxas rears are a different kettle.
I have'nt any pistons that match their bores.
Traxxas UK's website has spare pistons but don't list any bore sizes.
My Traxxas shocks could well be from BITD when Traxxas made and raced
1/10th offroad(did they ever do that?),so sourcing pistons to suit could be a bit of a game I reckon.
