Thing's to do list:

Prep & spray new shell.
The front wheels are slightly narrower where the bearings seat so need to add a small spacer to the axle before mounting wheels otherwise the nut does up before the wheel is tight.
Fit pinion & check diff.
Replace oil in the shocks, rears need a heavier spring.
Still not happy with flex front to rear so will look into manufacturing an alloy top plate.
Set toe & camber all round.

Here are some pics with an existing used shell:









Getting there, should be ready for the end of July
OH YES!

Love the HPI five spoke 2.2 fronts

What shocks are those? Schumacher KF?
