[Fg-lee]

Ok mate will do, hope it is going to be awesome

Just bought a hurrax crypton too
I can just see all those plastic bits need sorting out :lol::lol:
I think maybe I need help I feel a little obsessed with it all

 

[charlieboy]

good luck with the build mate can't wait to see the end result

 

[Fg-lee]

Thanks,should be good
Got the carbon bits coming today and all the ally back tomorrow so that will be my first picture
Going to get the lower arms cnc made as I cannot find them anywhere
Then the fun will begin
As I have a crap memory I had been given a tip
Take photos ,detailed photos of the strip down then should not be a problem to build.

Cheers,they look good
My contact reckons £20 - £23 per item depending on quantity for full cnc
Have to say not sure I like the fully rounded top arms prefer the square section with a slight chamfer like the original ones
Might get a set made
Well today's the day alloy bits finally back from anodisers and carbon bits in the post

All ally bits now back and wow over the moon what a quality finish

Bummer, used to have an automatic image re-sizer. Now I have a new pc don,t know where or how to do it as my mate set up the old pc.
Further thought i was being clever on the strip down taking lots of pictures
Now starting the re- build and already have 3 large washers , and I cannot remember where they go
They are very thin almost more a shim than a washer,,HELP

 

[charlieboy]

open a photobuckt account mate, upload the then copy img code then paste it to your post

sorry cant help with washers though mate

 

[Fg-lee]

Cheers mate will do that then

Rained off today, so I spent the day ,( or most of it ) in my garage.
Had to collect some wallpaper the missus wanted ( got my brownie points for the day,if I hang it then I would hope I can gain enough points to go to MMR on saturday to buy some bits )
I will show the results later when I can show pictures
Fully rebuilt with all new stainless nuts bolts screws
Although I say it myself ot looks the nuts
Judge for yourself later, all comments appreciated

 

[Fg-lee]

here we go then, the first piccys, I shall post a few and if your interested i will post the rerst

 

[Fg-lee]

More piccys hope you like, a real labour of love and also up for sale I think I need to make some room for others

 

[Fg-lee]

A few more, I am really pleased with the result, all new stainless nuts/bolts/screws etc do not know why I have fitted servos as it will probably never run..

 

[Fg-lee]

Getting there now, sorry not very good at the commentry of the build, glad i took photos as I stripped it, had no bits left at the end pheww.
Actually that is a lie ,i had some very thin washers think they were shims and I cannot remember where they went,.Bugger

 

[Fg-lee]

Expect your bored now ??. Nearly there just a few more to go.I have my HPI at the anodisers this week
i may put a bit more effort in and discribe photo by photo ??

 

[Fg-lee]

Not sure if I like the plastic wheels but I have some cnc alloy wheels
