Some new works on my Trial Dagger. The chassis is almost completed with shock towers. Needs two braces on top the shock towers, you can see the holes.
Now the dampers are temporarily E-Maxx ones, will be replaced with aluminum ones.
One steering linkage is ready, must to do the second one on the rear. Then I must built two servo plates that will have two 6.5 kg servos on top.
Both differentials are locked and 14 teeth pinion gears fitted.
There's a trick to fit 14T pinions without modifications.
The Wild Dagger gearbox allows only 18T and 20T pinion gears. With 14T pinion gears you must use one 20T screw hole in the motor mount and one 18T screw hole. This will move the motor in the right position for 14T.
All knuckles are aluminum Eagle Racing, the 'C' are TB01 Evolution with 2 degrees.
Next step is CVD all around, servo plates, rear steering linkage, body mounts, probably some body trimming to give clearance to the wheels, weight inside the wheels, battery mount and electronic.

The model is a bit rough imho but it's a crawler, not a shelf queen. Many thanks for your comments.
