Here are a few pics of the progress. While waiting for the Fibrelyte products I built the shock using 100% new parts (just waiting on the rear titanium nitride shock shafts).
Then yesterday it happened, a lovely delivery of Fibrelyte goodies complete with battery straps (going to use Kyosho alloy posts). Note chassis has no battery strap holes yet.
Managed to get home and do a bit more today. Now got the correct rear housing! Will get it anodised purple someday.
More, all turnbuckles and hinge pins are titanium and screws stainless.
Let me know what you think and with any advise. Thanks, Chris.
