Decided to try and upgrade any Phillips head screws with socket heads, button heads or tappers if I can

Socket heads soooo much better. I dont have 48mm screws all I have on hand are 50mm's so I may have to shim or grind the two motor plate bolts.

I think I going to find better differential drives and the spur gear hub is cheesey. I trimmed the bolts I had to 48mm for clearance.

Lots of pieces just for a damper mount.

Wonder if this steering rack will hold up? Put some ag grease on the bushings. Feels nice and tight.

Thanks. Its kit number 84228 HKS Opel Vectra jtc. My girlfriend found it on eBay. My son and I liked an old fwd tamiya I had so much we said we were both going to build fwd for the spring. I've got a head start on him.

I used the 1XD just like the manual shows. I'll be running this on asphalt tracks and parking lots we can find that are smooth.

Really wish I had more tapper head socket screws for the flush mount. I'll have to get more screws after this build.

Think I got them in the correct orientation. I didnt think it was necessary to widen the droop screw holes with a 3mm drill. At least I think that's what those grub screws are for.

I don't think these pivots will last.

Starting to look like something. Really really wish I had tapper head socket screws and an electric screwdriver.
