Super astute new build!!

Recommended Posts

Nice thread and great buggy.  I'll be building one myself soon, although not from a kit.  I'm collecting parts, which a long process.  I have chassis coming my way, have most of the plastics, a full body set and the all important TTC, but on the look out for lower arms and various nuts and bolts, among other pieces.  I think I have approx 75% of what I need.  

Enjoy the build.   I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

What bits do you still need ?

I have a few SA parts left over from when I built mine a while ago.

Thanks @Tamiyabigstuff The main parts I'm looking for are mostly car specific - Front and rear lower wishbones, rear hubs and rear grey CVA damper plastic.  Other things include more generic items like hinge pins and various nuts and bolts which I probably have in my spares boxes, but a few more couldn't hurt, as I know I won't have everything required to bolt things together, at least for the time being.

I love the TTC.  I first got one as a Xmas present when it came out as a hop up for the Madcap and Astute.  Of course, with it's FDR, it made my car slower, but I didn't care.  I had a slipper clutch! :D
