Thanks Nate. I was trying my best to keep things looking as authentic as possible while running stock Tamiya drivetrain. The real 4640 diffs look a lot different than any available RC stuff so there wasn't much I could do there short of making my own. The steering should be different as well but to keep it simple I left things fairly stock up front too. I knew if I started to make all of this stuff from scratch the truck wouldn't be done in time for the July truck show. The window gaskets are just wiper blades like on the other trucks. I searched through the used wipers i have hoarded and found some that were a little narrower than what I used on the KW. They are a bit too wide but will do the job good enough!
