      huh? I meant painting the inside of the shell, the floor is already ECG so we need to touch up a few spots and paint the rest.

      the car only has seats and a dash at this point. kind of amused that there are three white hatches with varying levels of interior at the driveway- one with everything, mine is gutted from the front seats back, and the track car.

        spent $20 on bolts and spacers (all stainless/chrome stuff) to mount the SPG to the Buddy Club rail and put it in the car.

        working on acquiring more wheels. SSR MKIIs and some barrels for my MK2Rs. gotta get some 25mm spacers while I'm at it.

        no pictures, but half of the track car's interior and cage are painted, and we got the other half mostly prepped for paint.

          I have a proper shop across town, but I have a 10 month old baby girl, so I decided to finish the locost in my home garage. I was loosing my mind, so I organized it, bought shelves and a proper vice. :mrgreen:

          Built the transmission mount tonight.






          Looks like a mini version of the Silvia one, so I knew I was on the right track.

          Energy Suspension Chevy transmission mounts fit Nissan's and Locost's



          I cut the big jaggade hole in the floor with a Sawzall, I plan on flipping the car over and plug welding the floor to the new frame pieces and they I will grind the jaggady floor to the edge of the new frame pieces.

                By "harness" I think you actually mean "B14 Sentra seatbelts".

                  Apparently driving Swank Force One (My Mx6) at the GRM $2012 Challenge left an impression on the pro driver.

                      after searching for at least six months, I managed to score two Full Reverse barrels from two completely different sellers in a span of like six days. time to refinish the faces of my MK2Rs (I'm thinking Sakura Red with some small blossoms on the spokes) and figure out where I can source the mounting bolts from.

                      note to self: never build wheels from scratch ever again.

                          Awesome man. I've been wanting even a decent rc for a while now, just haven't pulled the trigger. I love the mine, I want to be able to use mine off road though.

                              I keep wanting to fix my T-Maxx, but the time is never right. It just needs a new diff. I have an RC18t, but it's actually too fast to be much fun.

                                I'm trying to sell my Traxxas MERV right now, plus all my snowboarding gear, so I can pick up this clean white 92 EGT that I found. If anyone wants an upgraded 1/16th R-EVO VXL that needs a few parts replaced... I'll make a Sweet deal.
