Deal! If you've got any questions during the build, I'm here every day. It's a pretty straight forward installation and I think you will be pleased with the results.

Thanks, Maus! Got a little more done last eventide. Wecohe suspension system is a bear to adjust, but once properly set up, it's pretty grand. I use the stock Tamiya torsion bars for the front road wheels and the rest is Wecohe. Depending on how he sits, I may go with Tamiya rear torsion bars, too. I've found over time that when in combat, the Wecohe springs can be a little weak, but using stock front and rear torsion bars to carry most of the weight, the supple Wecohe system really shines.

Transmission installation was straightforward. The motor wires will be replaced with copper wire and gold plated connections. Notice on the front side Daryl's final drive covers. This is missing in the kit, and Daryl will make them again shortly. I'll have them back on sight when he's finished them.
