My FG Build so far.. (WEE UPDATE)
Hey folks, well i started putting together my FG today with all the stuff i bought through ebay whilst i was offshore, so here it is in pics,,
The front end on,, this is a touring car front end and went on with no problems, just need to figure some way of making a new mount/brace for the side guards or may just take them off and make a brace from Carbon fibre just to strengthen up the front end a bit as its gonne be used mainly for on road/car park bashing next to my house..

Rear End, mix of FG and Elcon Parts..


Engine.. This is a reed ported Zenoah 26,, its got an X-can just now but gonna get a dom for it..

Engine installed.. only thing left really is radio gear and set up.. a few wee other odds and sodds to do mainly cosmetic tidy ups..



thats it for today... so far i'm quite happy with the way its turned out,
hopefully get everything else done tomorrow and give her a wee test run,, i'll update the thread if and when i do...
Cheers for lookin,, let me know what use think good or bad.. all comments and ideas welcome...
WEE UPDATE: Got the radio gear in and all set up, also done a few cosmetic things like the stainless fuel tube sleeving, also used the original roll cage front bars to help brace the front end a bit, just shortened them a bit then bolted them to the front shock mount, still unsure with what to do with the side guards????..i'll give her a run tomorrow, didnt have time today..
