Great start man, I'm sure your car will be really nice once it will be done !!!

Just a couple of questions ....
1 - Are you sure you want to use the philips type screws ?
Normally after a couple of losen/tighten action they will lose their head so you will become crazy in assembly/disassembly and you will need new screws.

2 - I see you are using some Hot Bodies D4 rims, probably at the rear; once you have completed the assembly can you please measure the rear width ?
This because I'm sure they will fit fine, but I think (not sure at all) they have a slightly differen offset so the make the rear a little narrower (compared to the discontinued kyosho W5027)

A part from that thanks for the photos and please keep going !!!

Bye
Ema

Rear hubs - best option are the ultima rb type r ones or the same lazer zx-s evolution rear hubs. Its all on radiocontrolzone.

Not much has happend here, as i suddenly was sitting with two new cars.. i had to get race ready and race with....

I have done some small work with the car, body is painted and suspension arms are mounted.

The rear hubs HB are a fraction wider aprox 3mm and the offsett is 4mm different the HB will have a fraction smaller track with.
The reason i use them is because i use them on the other buggy at the moment and i get a nice price on them..

Looking good. You really do need the correct rear hubs as the handling will not be as good with a wider rear end.
