Received that Robot market place order this past Thursday
McMaster on Friday, Liquid Rc on Friday as well.


Got Wheels, tires, transfer case and gear reduction




Using rope crimp collars for risers .....




flipped axels twice now - but found that the proper install for the steering servo on the TLT axels will work really good

Leaf springs showed up today. Add another 2 hr

Thanks - I like them too. At first I was worried there were too tall but they scale out really good.

I like how you are keeping track of your time. I wish I would do that as I never know if I'm way underestimating or over. Keep track, and let us know when she done. It will be a good aspect of custom builds.

23 design hours thus far

57 Build hours thus far ( includes ordering and tracking down orders)

Details of things like steering linkage, drive shafts lengths etc. Is figured as build hours. Re-adjusting and duplicate attempts on the sliders is all as build. Some would call those hours design but they are more of on the fly R&D than true design. I also only took the design so far as to place and coriagraph major components as the design aspect is to facilitate the build. Rather than the build is to b prove the design.
