Also I'am busy with the extension of the rolkooi to the shock tower sites.
In the picture is nice to see how much longer the base is now really.
I have made 2 aluminum tubes with M4 thread.
I have these in the ends of the tubes glued with 2-component metal glue.
So I can now pretty from the front of schocktower screw them with M4 without the plastic piece in there first.

So we are back and bit further, what do I have done in the meantime!

* arms finished and polished
* bloks milled for the JFC Fuses
* Self Made steering rods, 94mm long!
(with left and right wire out)
* Rolkooi in the right place
* Shock pistons adapted
* Shock absorbers filled with oil 1000 front / 2000 rear oil
* Shocktravel height blocks made in all of the arms
* Raised rear upright milled so that they now have teflon bearings (bushing)
* Rear upright holders made and 2 pieces of thread end 8MM.
* JFC torx stainless steel engine mounting with stainless steel rings mounted
* Side plates milled at a height of shock tower so that the Integy's makes no more contact wit this.

Hey RonW...That is some big alloy monster now, think it must now be classed as a 1:5 and not a 1:6.

Nice work, looking forward to a video of the beast...

MB Pro XL/XL

So the MB Pro XL / XL is completed,,,,, its first ride on the beach in Zeeland (State in the Netherlands),,,,
Near the Oosterschelde-kering on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland.

Here are the photos of the car when he was just ready for a little holiday,,,,



Just show my beautiful sticker, which I have from Arjan from www.bigscaleshop.nl














And here are some photos of the MB on the beach ,,,,,






















The modification of the Integy shocks are good in 1 time, because of the advice and info from several users of the forum http://www.rcbigscale.nl and the http://www.rcbigscaleforum.nl.
I am really happy!
No more ,,,,, Wheelies and curves drive is now really good.
The shocks are really 10 times better than the standard shock absorbers from FG.
what an improvement this is,,,, I'am verry happy!!!!

The XL arms are good and are certainly an improvement for this MB Pro.
The roadholding is much better with the XL arms and Integy shocks, not be compared with the standard arms and shocks.
This drive really nice ,,,,,,,,

There is really little that must be changed, but is no problem to make these parts.

And this car is also on the rear in XL size.
These arms, I also machined at my milling machine.
