Thanks for the compliments!

Sorry guys, I meant the diff cups. My company makes hardened chromemoly CV joint innards for the inner CV joints on Toyota MR2's. These tend to break when you are putting over 300 horses to the rear wheels, and have sticky tires, on a drag launch. The diff cups on the MT2 serve the exact same purpose, so I called them CV joints instead of diff cups.

The body came prepainted, with an assortment of stickers, most of which I left off. I'm not much with arts and crafts, so I thought I'd leave the painting to the pros. My forte' is nuts and bolts. The body is a much heavier grade of plastic than the CEN body, and does a much better job of protecting the truck. The New Era roll bar helps out a lot in that department too. I left out the windows, as opposed to having to cut holes. This allows me to refuel with the body on, and once I get a longer glow plug starter, I should also be able to start her with the body on. I also have great air flow through the body, to cool the engine.

I just got back from the latest round of bashing around the construction site. No broken drivetrain parts this time

I DID break the rear body mount, where it attaches to the shock tower, and one of the knuckles that attaches the tie rod to the back of the wheel hub. Luckily I have spares of those here, having broken them before. I also apparently didn't use enough CA glue on the tires. (tyres for you Brits ) Three of them are pulling away from the rims, from the sheer centrifugal force that is being applied to them.

I'll try to get a video of some bashing in the near future, and post it.
