Hey snowman! I did get the truck In, pretty clean with areas of wear which I expected for a 15 year old truck but the transmission, diffs, plastics, and bearings all seem smooth and good to go. I have quite a few little things I have to replace on it, and sort of get overwhelmed looking at it haha. Some of the things I need include bottom engine mount screws, a new on off switch which I知 confused about because the stock one has a tiny red 2 prong connection for the battery, and the battery is no good that came with it. I have a dynamite 5 cell receiver battery I wanted to plug in to see if the stock JR Servos still work, but it痴 not capable of being plugged into the red switch plug. I値l also need the 4 screws that go through the engine mount tabs To secure it to the engine mount. If all my electronics work after that, I either need to get a Futaba receiver to connect my 3pv radio with it, or if possible use my spectrum dx2e but because it痴 got the forward/reverse shift servo in it, I知 unsure as to whether I need a 3 channel or 4 channel radio. I also have no idea whether the transmission is in forward or reverse if I move the servo manually, if that makes sense. I did get my flywheels and used clutchbells which seem okay, now I need a 3 shoe clutch and springs and I need to figure out what gearing i have because I heard you need a certain tooth clutchbell with a certain tooth spur gear. Anyway I have a lot of work to do I知 sweating as I知 typing this just thinking about it, even though I知 capable of maintenance just seems like a lot. wish I could sit down with someone for 12 hours and be shown all the little things I don稚 know about this truck. Anyway I値l keep you updated and try and post pictures later today
