What about aluminum shock caps?

Thanks for mentioning that, the previous owner had replaced them with the Tekno Aluminum caps

I wanted one of the OG MT410's, but they discontinued it before I could get one. This looks like it's going to be transformed into something really cool.

Just a quick update the motor came today castle 1520-1650kv, hefty beast in comparison to what I have in my 2.0 mt410. It was a combo pack so came with the mamba 8s esc

 

[solaris]

More updates to come have all the parts now apart from a body shell

 

[solaris]

All racing gearbox aluminium

 

[solaris]

Started to dismantle the car. Front end has been removed and starting dismantle the rear the end. All I can say this car is an absolute state my hands were black.
Looks like I will be building this again from scratch lol.

Might order some new hinge pins as they are rusted or ill clean it with a wire wheel as it appears to be just surface rust.

 

[solaris]

Replacement screws / bearing from RC-Shrauben made in Germany so expecting quality

 

[solaris]

Getting ready to build the diffs using the steel differentials should be bomb proof I hope. Also got the upgraded steel spur gear.

Uhh... What exactly did you buy the original truck for? Looks like you'll take two and a half parts off it for the build, LOL

Yes it would seem that way considering i have bought a lot of parts for it.

Some of the little parts can run up a pretty penny, just buying a pack of o-rings is like £5. If i don't clean up the hinge pins it will cost me £20 to replace them, so overall it adds up to quite a lot so must still be cheaper this way.

Couldn't get the bottom cog out of the diff so used a Dremel to cut it open to remove

 

[solaris]

Rear diff built time to put it inside gearbox

 

[solaris]

Diff has been mounted in gearbox only required 1 shim which was out inside the cog wheel side. Mounted M2C shock tower as well.

 

[solaris]

Cleaned up hinge pins using a Dremel with a wire wheel.They arms now move freely compared to being stiff. I had also cleaned up the holes for the arms where the hingepin mount

 

[solaris]

Weight of gearbox and M2C shocktower for anyone who is interested

 

[solaris]

Arms and sway bar installed. Cleaned the arms using muc off and some warm water and a toothbrush cleaned up nicely
