  1. Great to see she's back on the cards @Saito2 ! Good idea with the top chassis brace, should help to limit the classic Madcap/Astute front bulk head splits. Do you have any issues with the steering bell cranks clearance? I remember when I upgraded my Madcap/Astute steering from Madcap to Super Astute there were some sort of clearance issues with the front bulk head mounting screws/nuts as the cranks sweep from side to side ove the nuts? I think I used those strange little recessed gripping Astute nuts to resolve the issue. And what bell crank connecting rod have you gone with? Not a ball joint from the looks of the cross head screw that can be seen. Look forward to seeing this one come together! Recomend the Xtra Speed UJ's if you decide to treat yourself at any point, they're decentπŸ‘
  2. Looks great @Thommo, very 90's indeed!! The colour match of the orange paint up the sides looks an excellent match with the EVO stickers. I'm tempted to suggest original style yellow CVA 1's in place of the newer ones you have fitted to stay more true to the original DF-01 and Astute, but tbf it's a hybrid build so not necessary. Regarding the fluro green you mention looking lime in the photos, are you shooting in natural light? Some shots outside may help to bring a truer colour representation to the images. Also try setting the colour temp setting on the camera or phone, assuming it's a phone camera, to daylight as wellπŸ‘
  3. That's the magic! I like how you did decide to weather the noodle machine tooπŸ‘
  4. Haha! That's brilliant mate! A worthy winner for sure!πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸ’ͺ😎
  5. Congrats @toyolien! I'm not a member of the main site, do you have a link to the winning photo?
  6. Isn't Shapeways being started back up again?
  7. Ah good thinking, I like that idea!πŸ‘
  8. Looks good mate, and the rear wing made me laugh!πŸ˜† What did you do about the rear C-hubs in the end?
  9. That is one eager farmer!!!
  10. I'm based in Farnborough guys, what sort of meet up are you thing of? On road or off road?
  11. Nice collection! Assume Nathaneil is going to send the missing ones on at his cost?
  12. Great news mate!πŸ‘ How's the original internal gear looking inside the King Cab gearbox? It's such an awesome chassis isn't it, there's something really special about it😁
  13. Wow, that is a seriously bargain basement price mate, nicely done!! That Avante gear diff is one tooth less. Hence why Max made his comment, and he knows his stuff. Fitting the standard Avante diff gear in my view is a bit of a ticking time bomb, as the mismatched gears grind away at each other. Great to hear that this Jack-O-Trades modified Avante gear diff has held up in the Astute/Madcap/King Cab gearbox so far. Do you have a link?
  14. Cool, glad the build was good mate!! ...hope she rides as good as she looks! ...the car, I mean the car.
  15. These are also awesome.. Buggy fetishπŸ†πŸ’¦
