hi there, apologies for delay
i fully stripped and rebuilt it. finally finished and realised the steering is terrible so spent on another servo two adaptor kits and new rods so i can run a servo over both front and rear wheels - nightmare!
It will leave the house some day, ive bought a spare body for when its outdoors lol. Took me a long time to get the black stripe good which can barely see and finished body off with some finesse polish.
