Update : seeing Dunebuggy his tuned chassis motivated me to start mine. Looks incredible !

Total price . . . . I got the Abarth for 155€ and I bought all the option parts in Japan, it still costs 465€ ! Ouch.


Finished ! To finish the model off I would like to try to fit a rallydrivers cockpit . . . later

Aside from a few things you didn't mount, my hop up list is nearly the same. I didn't bother with the Ti screws though. That Manta Ray ball diff should have come with the hardened joint cups, so no worries on that. I did give in a find the most perfect parts I had here and slowly tapped all screw holes as to not crack any and I think I might have pulled it off without damage. I think time will tell on that one. I also fitted the 4WD/Touring car lightweight kingpins in the front hubs.

Beautiful work! Very nice chassis you've put together. There's something satisfying about loading the old M-chassis with so many hop-ups!
