I spent this week stripping and rebuilding the car. Both diffs have been rebuilt, all bearings relubed and the shocks rebuilt too plus everything has had a clean. I also bought the rear gearbox plate OT-110 and replaced a few of the screws with whatever was in my pitbox. This isn't going to be a shelfer so I wasn't going mad. The wheels are a spare set from my ZX5. I used the Mid Custom Special manual on retromodelisme and everything was the same so I'm convinced that's what I have. I fitted some electrics and gave it a whirl on the back yard, the batteries were cable tied in until I can pick up OTW-9:





It handled pretty well but was dog slow so its either gonna have to be lipos or brushless. I've also decided on a shell and colour scheme, I found this pic on retromodelisme which from the article seems to be some sort of pre-production colour scheme. I prefer this over the standard box art particularly the "roof" on the canopy. Does anyone have any other details on this or other pictures of it in these colours?
