Well, the slow boat finally reached NZ! :lol:

I've got my new XT8 almost fully built. So far I've only had 2 problems...

First off when assembling the front suspension, I needed two 5.8mm "pillowballs" for the sway bar attachment to the arms. Unfortunately the kit bag had 1x5.8mm and 1x6.8mm. Luckily for me I had some spares. :wink:

Here is a photo:

And then on to the second problem. According to the parts cross reference spreadsheet found here:

The flywheel collar (on line 470) is supposed to be standard(which I thought would be included in the kit). But it was not included in the kit. Once again I luckily had one spare. :wink:

I can't find anywhere that warns people to buy a flywheel collar. And if I didn't have a spare, I would have been a bit annoyed...

Anyway, I really really had fun building the truck! I just cannot wait to get this beast going!!! Unfortunately I have to go away for work this weekend, so I won't be able to finish the truck until after the weekend. :cry:

I even considered calling in sick... :wink:

Well here it is so far:

just building one up now

only problem so far is one of the gearbox casings is a very slack fit on the bearings for the diff housing..so much so i had to coat the casing with 2 coats of superglue to make the bearing a decent fit otherwise the diff could be moved to and fro meaning the mesh was constantly moving a lot.

Well here are some pics of mine complete and ready for break in. I just need to get some zero offset wheels.

And the body I mucked up...

Fortunately it's just the stock one. It'll just have to do for now.

It's so beautiful :shock:

DROOL.....

In terms of running the new Truggy, what kind of time improvements are we seeing against the old one?

Cheers
