So the Silicon set up but the firgelli would still flex. So too them apart a used jb weld - picked the steel reinforced putty - 2 part cut what you need and fold/mix and use. According to the instructions it bonds to metal but plastics were not listed

Chassis parts ordered. Control units ordered, some recieved. a week or so waiting for parts but then some good progress should happen.

My next step is to distract my self by adding details to the cab - hope to find a shop with a router for blanks... styrene though.

Hmm I hate waiting for parts.

Ordered from 4 places on Sunday
ebay - horizon hobby - recieved on Tuesday
ebay - liquid rc - still not recieved
robot market place - still not recieved
servo city - recieved Wednesday
ordered from McMaster Carr on Thursday before 2pm recieved Friday

I guess some want our business others not so much. - maybe we are an inconvenience. .....
